Peony is a sunny plant, but it can't be directly dried in the scorching sun. Many flower friends' peonies are killed by the sun. Allowing peony to receive enough sunshine is conducive to flower bud differentiation, promoting the rapid expansion of flower buds, and peony will grow more robust. The sunshine in spring is very suitable for peony flowers, because the sunshine in spring is mild and there is no light intensity in summer. Therefore, the light in March and April is very suitable for peony, so let peony bask in the sun at this time. In mid-May or June, the light began to get stronger, especially in the southern region. At this time, we should pay attention to it. We can't expose the peony in the hot sun, which is easy to die.
2, the temperature should be appropriate
Peony is not resistant to high temperature, and will go into dormancy when it is above 25 degrees. The most suitable problem for its flowering is 17~20 degrees. In this temperature range, the flower can always bloom and the state is the best. But before it blooms, it must go through a low temperature process, that is, it needs to stay in the environment below 10 degrees for 3 months to reach a low temperature vernalization process, so that it can bloom in spring. If you are in the south and don't have such a long low temperature time, you can put it in the freezer and let it go through a low temperature treatment. In spring, bury it in the soil and it will soon take root and sprout.
3, soil should be loose and breathable.
Peony is drought-resistant and afraid of water accumulation, so the soil should be mainly loose and breathable. There are many ways to mix soil, and Xiaoliang recommends three for you. 1, half of coarse river sand and half of nutrient soil, and the prepared soil is very loose, breathable and nutritious. 2. 4 parts of nutrient soil, 2 parts of vermiculite/kloc-0, and 2 parts of perlite, so that the prepared soil is loose, breathable and very light, and is suitable for planting young seedlings. 3. 2 parts of garden soil, 3 parts of nutrient soil and 2 parts of coarse sand, so that the prepared soil is full of nutrition, and the key is that the composition is very low. Acid soil is not suitable, because peony is suitable for growing in neutral or slightly alkaline soil, but it can't grow in acid soil.
4, nutrition should be sufficient
If you want peony flowers to bloom much, you must have sufficient nutrition. Supplementing peony with nutrition is naturally fertilizing. However, fertilizer can not be applied indiscriminately, and it is easy to cause root burning. Moreover, fertilization should be divided into different periods, and different fertilizers are needed in different growth periods. For example, in the growth period, it is not good to use only nitrogen fertilizer or phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. In the growing period, it is necessary to use multi-element organic fertilizer, that is, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, as well as some medium and trace elements, so as to ensure the normal growth of peony. Peony should be supplemented with multi-element organic fertilizer at least twice a month to ensure adequate nutrition.
When the bud begins to grow, the fertilization strategy will be changed and the focus will be on it. The most needed element is phosphorus and potassium when the bud grows to blossom, so in the bud stage, it is necessary to give priority to phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and give potassium dihydrogen phosphate at least three times a month, so that the bud can expand quickly and bloom quickly. At the same time, it is best to sprinkle multi-element slow-release fertilizer on the surface of the basin soil, so that new buds can grow and bloom continuously.
Summary: How to raise peony flowers and what should I pay attention to? In fact, as long as the roots are well raised, the temperature and light are suitable, and the nutrients keep up, peony can blossom. It doesn't mean that peony can only bloom once, nor does it mean that peony will die the next year. As long as it is maintained according to its suitable environment, it will be able to bloom continuously and bloom every year, which is very beautiful.
