Notes on Growing Pine-Needle Peony
1. Pine-Needle Peony is not easy to grow, and there are not many people growing it in China, so the techniques are not very mature, and you need to be extra careful during cultivation. When watering in summer, pay attention to choosing the time; generally you can water in the evening, when the weather cools down and the chance of water accumulation is smaller.
2. The dormancy period of Pine-Needle Peony is a challenge for beginners, and mastering watering is the most critical step in growing it well. When the winter temperature drops below 10°C, start gradually stopping watering; below 5°C, basically stop watering completely and it enters the dormancy period.
3. Throughout winter, only at sunny noon, drip a few drops of water at the edge of the pot, about once a month. Around March, when the temperature rises above 5°C, you can gradually resume watering and slowly enter the normal management of the new year.
