How to take care of newly bought peonies

1. Temperature

Peony flowers prefer shade and hate heat. Therefore, it is best to place the newly purchased peony flowers at room temperature of about 15 degrees Celsius to recover. Be careful not to place it in a high temperature environment, otherwise the flowers may wither and the leaves may fall off.

2. Soil Treatment

The newly purchased potted peony needs to be cleaned of small stones and decorative items on the soil surface to prevent affecting the breathing of its roots and the drainage performance of the soil. Then you need to spray disinfectant to disinfect the soil.

3. Watering

Peony is a flower that adapts well to dry conditions but not to humidity. In addition, its growth and development are slow and the root absorption capacity is poor after it is purchased, so there is no need to water it immediately. Do not water too much during normal times and avoid water accumulation.

4. Fertilization

Just bought peonies must not be fertilized even when they are in bloom. It is normal for some flowers and leaves to wither and turn yellow, and they can be cut off in time. After waiting for about 5 days, you can slowly add a small amount of thin or dilute fertilizer.
