How to grow purple peony

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: The growing environment of purple peony is relatively cool. It mainly grows on high mountains, and the temperature suitable for its growth is between ten and twenty degrees. High temperatures will affect its normal growth and inhibit its flowering. At the same time, it is very cold-resistant and can withstand temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it is generally raised in the north, as the south cannot meet its growth needs.

2. Watering: The biggest difference between purple peony and other plants is that it does not need to be watered frequently, and is afraid of water. If you water too much, some adverse reactions will occur. It is only necessary to water it twice a year, so that it can bloom normally. It has a very strong drought resistance.

3. Light: It is a light-loving plant and needs ten hours of light a day for normal growth. However, it is afraid of strong light, which will shorten the flowering period, so it cannot be exposed to strong light in summer. Requires adequate shade.

4. Fertilization: There are no high requirements for fertilization, but it cannot be applied indiscriminately. At the same time, it is sufficient to apply fertilizer twice a year. It is best to apply decomposed fertilizer cake. Fertilization can be combined with watering, which will facilitate better absorption.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Sowing and division are its main methods of reproduction. The seeds of purple peony generally mature in August every year. When the fruit skin turns completely yellow-brown, it means it is ripe. Before sowing, it needs to be soaked in hot water at 50 degrees for a day, and then it can be sown. Division requires the selection of adult plants, and the survival rate of this method is relatively high, so division is recommended.

2. Pruning: Purple-spotted peony is a rare flower species, so it cannot be pruned excessively. Generally, only plants over five years old are suitable for pruning. Just cut off the dead flowers and fallen branches and leaves. Do not prune excessively, otherwise it will easily wither or die.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Under high temperature conditions, scorched leaves may appear. You can cut off the yellow branches and leaves and spray sterilizers.

2. Pests: Because the temperature of the environment in which it grows is relatively low, pests generally do not occur.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is not poisonous. It is endangered and very rare, so it is suitable for breeding.

2. Can it be raised at home? Yes, it is an endangered plant and has a very high ornamental value, so it is recommended to raise it.
