How Peonies Survive the Winter

1. Wintering Tips

1. Move indoors: Some areas in the south are not very cold, so most of the time they can be placed outdoors and spend the winter safely. In the north, they should be moved indoors after the beginning of winter.

2. Stay away from heaters: If there is heater or floor heating in the room, you should stay away from the heater. Also, don't place it directly on the ground. It's better to raise it to a higher position, otherwise the peony plant will dry out.

3. Water in moderation: During the winter, you must water less. At this time, it will temporarily enter a dormant state, and the soil in the pot should not be too moist. Keep the soil dry and water it about once a month.

4. Exposure to sunlight and shelter from wind: The location for maintaining peony should also be chosen carefully. It is recommended to place it in a sufficiently sunny place, so as to slightly increase the temperature. Also, don't try to place it in the vent.

2. Precautions

When the temperature difference between day and night is large, you must do a good job of keeping warm in advance, let it get more sunlight during the day, and put it in a plastic bag or put it in a foam box at night.
