Chinese peony

Gardening Encyclopedia

May is exactly when Chinese peonies bloom; though the Start of Summer has passed, spring has not yet left. The Chinese peony blooms with its final beauty at the end of spring, and is therefore called the "Flower Goddess of May."

1. Acidic soil

Chinese peonies like

slightly acidic soil

; if the soil is too alkaline, it will cause the leaves of the Chinese peony to turn yellow, and in severe cases they will wither and die. When watering, add a few drops of

white vinegar

to the water and pour it over the soil to keep it acidic.

2. Timely pruning

The beautiful blooms of the Chinese peony are inseparable from

pruning

. Before

flowering

, cut off weak and dead branches; after

flowering

, cut off the spent flowers, so the plant's shape will be even more beautiful.

Dahlia

2-3cm of coarse sand

at the bottom of the pot to increase air and water permeability.

bone meal

monopotassium phosphate

(a small amount) mixed with

fishy water, applying once every 7-10 days

Tree peony

Gardening Encyclopedia

flowers fade

cut off the withered branches and leaves as well as the flower stems

aluminum sulfate
