How to plant and fertilize peony flowers

1. How to plant

1. Planting time: It is suitable for growing in cool weather, and the time is from late September to early October each year, which is more conducive to recovery.

2. Prepare the potting soil: The choice of potting soil is an important condition for growth. You can choose sandy soil with good drainage and loose texture. Neutral soil is more suitable, and do not use soil with too strong acidity and alkalinity. When you first start planting, the flowerpot doesn’t need to be too large to prevent water accumulation. As the plant grows, you can slowly change the pot.

3. Start planting: There are many ways to propagate. You can buy seeds and sow them, or you can take small plants from the original plants and plant them, or you can transplant seedlings. The best way is to transplant seedlings. First, dig a small hole in the flowerpot. The size of the hole should ensure that the roots can stretch normally. After the roots are arranged, cover them with soil and press them gently to make them firm.

4. Post-maintenance: After planting, pay attention to watering thoroughly to ensure that the roots are fully in contact with the soil.

2. Fertilization method

Before planting, the base fertilizer should be laid and enough organic fertilizer should be added to the flowerpot to ensure adequate nutrition. After that, apply fertilizer at least three times a year during the growth period. Apply once before the flowers bloom to ensure the quality of flowering. Supplement it in time after the flowering period to make up for the consumed nutrients. Apply once before wintering to ensure sufficient nutrients for safe wintering.
