How to grow peony flowers and when will they bloom?

1. How to raise

1. Soil preparation: When caring for peonies, the soil must be loose, soft, breathable, and have good drainage. It is also necessary to ensure good base fertilizer to promote lasting fertilizer effects. Garden soil, leaf mold, coarse sand, and base fertilizer can be used to prepare the soil. Such soil is suitable for growth.

2. Plenty of sunlight: Peonies love sunlight very much, especially during the growth stage, good light must be guaranteed, and the flowerpots need to be rotated once in a while during potted maintenance. To prevent exposure to the sun during high temperatures in summer, use a sunshade net to block direct sunlight.

3. Regular fertilization: It likes fertilizer very much. Sufficient base fertilizer has been applied when it is potted. Regular fertilization is required during the growth stage, at least three times a year, but the fertilizer should not be too concentrated each time. From December to February of the following year, the peony will enter a dormant period and no fertilizer should be applied at this time.

4. Reasonable watering: Peony has fleshy roots and is afraid of waterlogging. Generally, wait until the soil inside is dry before watering, and water it thoroughly at one time.

5. Pruning: Peonies need to be pruned twice a year, once in March in the spring and again in the autumn after they wither.

2. When does it bloom?

Peonies bloom from April to May every year, and the flowering time varies slightly in different regions.
