How to care for newly bought peony

1. How to deal with newly bought peony

When you first buy peony, you need to check the condition of the plant first. If there are dead flowers and leaves on the plant, they should be cut off in time. Afterwards, disinfect all the cut ends with disinfectant, and then place them in a well-ventilated place to dry to prevent them from being infected by bacteria.

2. How to grow the newly bought peony

1. Soil: Generally speaking, there is no need to change the soil of newly purchased peonies. However, if the soil used by the merchant is of poor quality, has poor drainage or low fertility, it will be necessary to replace it with new soil that is loose and breathable.

2. Environment: It will not start growing immediately after it is purchased, because it needs some time to adapt to the new growing environment. At this time, it is very afraid of strong stimulation from the external environment. Therefore, it is best to provide it with an environment of about 20℃ and relatively soft lighting. This will help it adapt to the new environment more quickly.

3. Watering: At this time, it does not grow fast, so it does not need a lot of water support. You can water it once every 5-7 days to keep the soil moist and free of water.

4. Fertilization: No fertilizer is needed when you first buy it. Because it is still in the potting stage, fertilizing it can easily cause root burn. Wait for a while and let it adapt to the new environment before fertilizing it.
