What should I do if the white peony grows too tall?

Causes of Lean Growth

Lack of light

White peony is easy to grow, but also difficult to serve. If the light is too strong, the white powder on the surface of the leaves will disappear, and the leaves will easily be burned, affecting growth. If the light is too weak, it will grow too tall. If the stems of the white peonies in your home become very long and basically have side buds growing out, it will look very ugly and it is basically impossible to change them back!

Overwatering

White peony has a certain degree of drought resistance. When it is watered too much but not exceeding its load, the leaves will grow wildly and be difficult to control. If left unattended, the white peony will definitely grow too tall and unrecognizable.

Improper fertilization

Excessive fertilization here refers to frequent fertilization without causing fertilizer damage. The roots absorb nutrients and transport them to the leaves and stems, promoting their growth. It seems that there is nothing wrong with this, but the combination of individual elements when fertilizing has a great relationship with the growth of the plant. When fertilizing, more nitrogen fertilizer will stimulate leaf growth.

what to do

Mild elongation

Mild elongation means that the stem nodes are slightly elongated, but it is not very ugly and can still be saved. Place the white peony in the sun, give it more sun, control water appropriately, and stop fertilizing. It will slowly recover after a period of time.

Severe elongation

If the white peony has grown too tall and is no longer recognizable, I'm sorry, it can only be propagated by new cuttings. Pick off the extra leaves from the stem nodes for cuttings, then cut off the head. If saved properly, you will get N pots of white peonies! (Specific beheading method☞ How to behead Bai Mudan)
