How to water peony flowers

1. How to water

Peonies are sensitive to water. Too much water can easily cause the roots to be submerged, hindering their breathing and breeding bacteria, leading to rot. Insufficient watering will result in poor plant growth and yellowing and drying of leaves. Therefore, be sure to control the amount of water and water when the soil surface is dry. Generally, water more in summer and less in winter.

2. Precautions

1. Water quality requirements: When watering peonies, you must use river water instead of tap water. Tap water contains chlorine, which has a negative effect on its growth. You can dry it in the sun for a few days and then use it after the chlorine evaporates.

2. Control the water temperature: Peonies have good cold resistance, but using water that is too cold can easily freeze their roots. Therefore, you must control the water temperature. First put the water indoors, and then water it after its temperature is close to the room temperature.

3. Spray water to cool down: Peonies are more suitable for growing in a dry environment, but if the temperature is too high, you can spray water to cool it down. Fill a spray bottle with clean water and spray the leaves. Do not spray too much water to avoid breeding bacteria due to moisture.

4. Dealing with water accumulation: Peonies are very afraid of moisture. Once water accumulates in the flowerpot, it will easily cause it to wither and die. Therefore, the accumulated water should be drained in time and the soil should be loosened appropriately to accelerate the evaporation of water. If water accumulates for a long time, it may cause root rot. The plant needs to be removed from the pot and any rotten roots need to be trimmed off. Then soak them in a solution of carbendazim, disinfect them and replant them.
