How to grow peony

1. Soil

It likes loose and organic flower soil. It is usually better to grow it in slightly acidic soil. Be careful not to use alkaline soil, which will affect its normal growth, causing the plant to be unable to grow and be restricted, which is not good for the plant.

2. Watering

It is relatively drought-tolerant, so usually don't give it too much water to prevent water accumulation from affecting its root absorption and causing poor growth of the plant. In addition, if the soil is dry, you can just water it in moderation. Watering during flowering is beneficial to its blooming and growth.

3. Lighting

It can tolerate shade and can also grow in sunny places, and usually grows better in both. Also, please note that during its flowering period, it should not be exposed to direct strong sunlight, otherwise the flowering period will be shortened and its flowering will be affected.

4. Temperature

It can withstand high temperatures as well as severe cold. Generally speaking, even if the temperature drops to minus 40 degrees Celsius, it will not have much impact on it. On the contrary, if the temperature is as high as 40 degrees Celsius, it can still survive well.

5. Fertilization

Usually it does not require a lot of flower fertilizer, and applying it about 3 times a year is enough to meet its growth needs. Pay attention to applying fertilizer and water in time during the period of new buds, young leaves and flower branches, and it will grow more vigorously. It is basically enough to apply fertilizer and water in these three stages.

6. Pruning

Usually you can cut off excess branches and leaves, withered flowers and diseased leaves, etc. This will not only help it to look good, but also avoid excessive consumption of nutrients, making it look better.
