Are your peony leaves wilting at home? Never do this

It is peony blooming season right now, but some flower growers report that their peonies have wilting leaves. So what is causing this?

Lack of water

Some flower growers do not water their peonies for a very long time, or the watering is insufficient and only wets the surface, which causes the peony leaves to wilt from lack of water.

When watering normally, water thoroughly in one go, but do not let water accumulate in the flower pot. Also, when watering, judge how to water based on how dry or moist the potting soil is. Do not overwater, but do not let it lack water either.

Lack of fertilizer

Peonies also need fertilizer to grow. Without enough fertilizer, their leaves will wilt and look listless.

After the peony has grown for one year, apply well-rotted organic fertilizer in autumn, and by spring and summer, applying chemical fertilizer is enough.

Pests and diseases

Once pests and diseases occur, wilting leaves are sure to follow. So at ordinary times, be sure to take preventive measures, and once pests and diseases are found, deal with them promptly.

Unsuitable temperature

Peonies fear direct blazing sun and also fear low temperatures. If they are exposed to strong sun, or live in high-temperature or low-temperature environments, the plant will also develop a series of problems.

When winter comes, keep it warm. When the surrounding temperature is above 25°C, the peony enters a dormant state, so be sure to control the temperature at ordinary times. Also, do not let it be exposed to strong sun, to avoid scorching.
