Peony flowers like warm, cool, dry and sunny environment. Plants like sunshine, but they are also resistant to semi-shade, cold, drought, weak alkali, water, heat and direct sunlight. Suitable for growth in loose, deep, fertile, dry and well-drained neutral sandy loam.
Peony flowers germinate flower buds from February to March every year, and the flower buds grow at the top of the flower branches. 1-2 months later, the flower buds mature, gradually bloom at 7: 00 in the morning, and fully bloom at 9- 10 in the morning, with pink or red and white colors and yellow stamens, which is of high ornamental value.
Peony flowers only bloom once a year, because the buds must be treated at low temperature for one to two months, and the temperature is required to be between 1 and 10 degrees. Only the temperature in late winter and early spring can meet the needs of bud germination, so peony blooms from April to May every year, and the fruit begins to bear fruit after flowering, and grows and matures in June every year.
Flowering maintenance of peony flowers
1, topdressing
Proper topdressing can prolong the flowering time of peony flowers, and it can be topdressing once when the plants are budding, increasing the number of buds and prolonging the flowering time, which is also very helpful for the growth of plants. Compound fertilizer can be applied after the flowers wither to supplement nutrients for plants.
2. Wet curing
Peony flowers like to grow in humid environment, especially in flowering period. The requirements for water are relatively high. It is necessary to spray clear water every three days or so to keep the soil moist, and at the same time, it will not accumulate water and promote the peony flowers to bloom vigorously.
3. Adequate lighting
The flowering period of peony is inseparable from light. If it is cultivated as a potted plant, it can be placed in a bright environment and given sufficient light environment, and the flowering time can be extended. If there is no light for a long time, the leaves of plants will turn yellow and the flowers will fall prematurely.
