Peony fertilization time and method

1. Fertilize before flowering

When the peony is about to enter the flowering period, which is from April to May, it needs to be fertilized. The main purpose of topdressing at this time is to supplement the nutrients needed for it to bloom, so that it can bloom better. Therefore, flower fertilizers should be mainly composed of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. It is best to choose liquid fertilizer or foliar fertilizer because the nutrients in them are easily absorbed and utilized by the plants.

2. Fertilize after flowering

After it blooms, that is, in June or July, it also needs to be topdressed with flower fertilizer. The main purpose of this fertilization is to provide it with certain nutrients to help it recover from excessive nutrient consumption after flowering. You can choose compound fertilizer as flower fertilizer.

3. Fertilization before winter

Before officially entering winter, that is, around November, you need to apply flower fertilizer to it. The main purpose of this fertilization is to increase the fertility of the flower soil and to reserve sufficient nutrients for it to survive the winter and grow next year. Therefore, fertilizers should be slow-release fertilizers that release their effects more slowly, or manure fertilizers.
