Can peonies be kept in the bedroom?

I. Whether it can be placed in the bedroom

It is not very suitable to keep it in the room where you sleep. First, this plant can only grow under very strong sunlight, and the poor light in a bedroom is not good for its growth.

Second, at night it absorbs O2 and releases CO2, which is not good for people's rest and sleep. Therefore, if you want to move it into the bedroom to enjoy it, it is best to move it outside the room at night.

Finally, its fragrance is very long-lasting, but smelling the floral fragrance over a long period is not very good for the sense of smell.

II. Cultivation methods

1. Potting soil

It is suitable for growing in soil with relatively good drainage that is sufficiently fertile. We can mix rotted leaves with ordinary garden soil and fine sand, stir them evenly, and then sprinkle some disinfecting powder into the soil as its potting soil.

The best time for potting is from late September to early October. Broken tiles can be placed at the bottom of the pot to help it drain excess water. When potting, it should not be planted too deep or too shallow; it is enough for the neck of the root to be slightly exposed above the soil surface.

2. Light

It likes sunlight but is afraid of intense sunlight. In summer, it needs not only sufficient light but also shading. In spring and autumn, it should be placed in a spot sheltered from the wind, and in winter it should be allowed to receive sufficient light.

3. Temperature

It likes warmth and does not like severe cold or intense heat. The low temperatures of winter can help it wake from dormancy, which is good for flowering. If you want it to survive the winter safely, you need to create an environment of 5-8 degrees for it. If kept indoors, a temperature above 16 degrees may prevent new buds from differentiating in spring. Before it blooms in April, it can be placed indoors for enjoyment. In summer, spray it with a little water to increase humidity and lower the temperature.

4. Water

It likes a dry environment, and when watering it, wait until the soil is dry and then water thoroughly. In spring, keeping the soil slightly moist is enough; in the hot summer weather, when it is too hot, water a little more. In autumn, gradually reduce watering; if there is too much water at this time, its leaves will turn yellow, affecting its flowering.
