Cultivation methods and precautions of red peony root

1. Maintenance methods

1. Substrate selection: Red peony root prefers loam or sandy loam, which has good air permeability and drainage. Sandy soil is second only to them, but clay is relatively poor and not particularly conducive to the growth of red peony root.

2. Light management: Red peony likes plenty of sunlight and can tolerate high temperatures in summer. It does not have strict requirements on light and has strong adaptability.

3. Nutrient management: Compound fertilizer can be added in the summer every year, and flushing compound fertilizer can be used before the Qingming Festival and in mid-July. Using foliar fertilizers and yield enhancers on rhizomes can increase yields and profits.

4. Water management: It can resist drought environments and replenish water during dry periods in high temperature environments in summer. However, it does not like humid environments and is prone to waterlogging in rainy seasons, so drainage must be carried out in a timely manner.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Overwintering: In winter, red peony root can resist the cold and survive the winter smoothly in the open field.

2. Land preparation: Every spring, the land can be plowed and leveled to make ridges. The size of the ridges can be determined according to local conditions.
