Is it OK to transplant peonies in spring?

1. Can it be transplanted in spring?

Although spring is the time for many plants to revive, transplanting peonies during this season will damage the plant's root system to a certain extent, causing it to not bloom that year or affecting future flowering. However, if you have to transplant it during this time period, it is best to advance the time and allow its roots to carry the previous soil. This way, transplanting will reduce damage to the plant.

2. How to do it

1. Generally speaking, the best time to transplant it is from winter to spring, which is the date for thawing. This is also the time when the plants germinate, and transplanting at this time will give the plants the highest survival rate.

2. Before transplanting, it is best to have a soil ball at the roots of the plant. This not only protects the roots of the plant, but also enables the plant to adapt to the new environment faster.

3. Before that, it is best to trim off the branches that have grown too much, and just keep five branches on the plant. Prune off all the weak branches and leaves, so as to maintain the plant's nutrient and water supply.

4. After transplanting, the plant needs to be potted with sufficient water, but the roots should not be waterlogged.
