How to grow Erqiao peony

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Seventeen to twenty degrees is more suitable, because a slightly warmer environment is most beneficial to it. It can also be a little cooler, around 15 degrees. However, it won't work when the temperature is high. Generally speaking, it may be in a dormant state when the temperature is between 25 degrees. In winter, it can withstand temperatures as low as minus thirty degrees Celsius.

2. Light: Peony is very light-loving. Good sunlight will not only make its plant shape better, but also help it to bloom later. However, the scorching sun in the summer must be avoided, otherwise it will cause dormancy and will not bloom.

3. Watering: The drought tolerance of peony is relatively good, but its waterlogging tolerance is poor. You can add water to it according to its habits, but do not allow water to accumulate. Just keep it semi-moist at ordinary times. In rainy seasons, drainage must be carried out in a timely manner.

4. Fertilization: It has certain requirements for nutrients. Therefore, in addition to the nutrients originally present in the soil, top dressing can be applied once every two weeks. Especially during the flowering period, sufficient nutrients need to be supplemented.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: You can use the method of division. The first thing is to choose a good mother plant. The specific parts it is divided into can be determined according to its volume. The larger one is divided into more parts. Each part must have enough roots, otherwise it will not survive. After that, you can plant them separately. Do not expose them to strong light and keep them moist.

2. Repotting: The peony has certain requirements for the soil, so it is best to replace the soil every once in a while. However, the interval can be slightly longer, once every three or four years. It can be replaced in autumn, and the flowerpot can also be replaced with a slightly larger one.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Since it is afraid of waterlogging, if there is too much water due to various reasons, the disease that may be caused is "root rot". You can remove the pot and repair the root system. If the problem is too serious, you need to spray medicine. At the same time, water needs to be controlled.

2. Pests: Common pests are aphids, scale insects, etc. The effect of using omethoate is very good.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic.

2. Can it be kept at home: Yes. It is a rare variety of peony and is very ornamental.
