2. How do you plant peony seedlings? Sharing the six major planting steps!

1. Planting step one: rinsing the roots of peony seedlings

Rinsing the roots of peony seedlings is mainly for peony seedlings bought online. Because the transport distance is relatively long and the time consumed is relatively long, some mold may develop on the roots. Before you receive the peony seedlings, it is best to rinse the roots. If you have a shower at home, you can directly use the showerhead to rinse them once, which can wash away some of the mold that has grown.

2. Planting step two: soaking and trimming the roots of peony seedlings

(1) The main purpose of soaking the roots of peony seedlings is sterilization. You can choose to soak them with thiophanate-methyl, preferably combined with water. The ratio is best at 1:20. Generally, soak for 30 minutes and then take them out, and dry them in a cool, ventilated place.

(2) Trimming the roots of peony seedlings mainly involves cutting off some diseased roots and old roots. You only need to keep the newly grown roots. Also note that blackened roots and overly long roots both need to be cut off, otherwise they will affect later growth. It is best to dip them in rooting powder and sulfur powder before planting. Applying sulfur powder is to prevent disease.

3. Planting step three: choosing a flower pot

Before planting peony seedlings, it is best to choose a flower pot of suitable size, preferably determined by the size of the seedling you bought. Some people think that since the seedling will grow anyway, they should buy a bigger pot to save the trouble of changing pots later. This is absolutely not allowed, as it will affect growth and development. In the first year, the root system grows relatively slowly, so a flower pot about 26 cm tall and about 24 cm in diameter is fine. Also note that the flower pot must be properly treated to prevent water accumulation. Peonies are afraid of waterlogging; too much accumulated water will cause root rot and even death.

4. Planting step four: choosing soil

When planting peony seedlings, sandy soil is the best soil type because of its good drainage. Then add some base fertilizer and you can plant the peony seedlings. First place the peony seedling in the flower pot and slowly add soil to settle it in place.

5. Planting step five: watering

Water the potted peony seedling thoroughly in one go, then place it in a cool place. After 15 days, move it to a semi-shaded environment to grow. Generally, watering once every 15 days is fine; there is no need to water every day.

6. Planting step six: preventing soil from caking

When planting peony seedlings, the biggest fear is soil caking, which is caused by watering. Placing some tree bark and small stones on the surface of the soil can prevent the peony pot soil from caking.
