How often should the peony be repotted?

1. Change the pot every few years

It grows very fast and vigorously, so the pot needs to be changed every 1-2 years and new potting soil needs to be replaced for maintenance. Otherwise, the soil inside will become increasingly poor, and it will not be able to absorb nutrients from it, which will cause problems in its later growth. If the growth rate is relatively fast, it is necessary to choose a smaller flowerpot and replace it every year to ensure good growth. The time is around March in spring. The climate and surrounding environment in this season are very suitable, which can also be conducive to later recovery.

2. Steps for changing pots

1. Remove from the pot: prepare a small shovel, circle around the inside of the pot, and then slowly pour out the plant inside. Be gentle and don't damage the roots.

2. Root pruning: Gently hold the bottom of the plant and remove all the old soil next to the roots to expose the roots. Use sterilized scissors to process the roots, cut off old and rotten roots, soak them in disinfectant solution, and set them aside to dry.

3. Potting: Prepare a flower pot that is larger than the previous one, prepare soil suitable for growth, pad the bottom of the pot with expanded clay, fill it with loam, straighten the plant and plant it in.
