What are the care methods for peonies? Teach you how to care for peonies correctly

The peony is one of China's "Top Ten Famous Flowers." It is also known as separation, concealment and tolerance. It is a perennial herbaceous flower of the Paeoniaceae family. It is called the "Flower Fairy" and "Flower Fragrance," and is also known as the "May Flower God." Since ancient times it has been the flower of love, and it is widely cultivated throughout China. Today, the editor tells everyone about the cultivation methods for peonies:

Peonies are usually propagated by division. As the saying goes, "Divide the peony in spring, and it will never bloom until old." Therefore, peonies are usually planted in the ground after they wither in October, and are not suitable for spring transplanting. When dividing, the roots should be dug out, and a sharp knife should be used to cut the roots so that each clump carries 3 to 5 full buds and the roots below, avoiding damage to the buds, and then planted in sand to which base fertilizer has already been applied. In the soil, cover with soil 3 to 4 cm, keep the soil moist without stains, and generally they will bloom in the first year after planting. Potted peonies are repotted once a year, for 1 to 2 years, and this is done in early October. When repotting, leave more soil. If the plant is not large, do not divide it.

2. Planting time: Peonies love sunlight, are cold-tolerant, and have low temperature requirements; they are both cold- and heat-tolerant, and are prone to poor growth during the high-temperature summer season, so autumn is the best season for planting peonies.

3. Soil requirements: The peony has fleshy roots, so potted peonies at home must be given loose, fertile and slightly acidic sandy soil. Try not to plant them in soil. If the soil is too alkaline, it can easily cause yellow leaves or even death.

4. Fertilizer and care: You can place the peony outdoors; light drizzle is no problem, and you do not need to water it often. Apart from natural precipitation, peonies generally do not need frequent watering. Usually, they only need to be watered several times in spring and around flowering during drought to make up for the lack of soil moisture. The amount of water should not be too much. Fertilization of peonies should be controlled, and fertilization should be carried out three times a year. This is the first time to quickly draw out new shoots. When the leaves and buds stretch out, quick-acting fertilizer is mainly used to promote flower fertilizer.

5. Shaping and pruning: To make peony flowers more colorful and grow vigorously, shaping and pruning are very important. It is mainly pruned according to the growth of the peony. Strong varieties can be pruned to a single stem, fewer varieties. Usually it is necessary to cut off thin, diseased branches and keep strong branches. For potted peonies, cut off the dead leaves after frost to avoid breeding pests and diseases. In winter, you do not need to move the peony into the room. You can place it in a sunny spot under the balcony or under the eaves. Avoid ice and snow.

6. Pests and diseases: Pesticide pest control should be based on early prevention. Once pests and diseases occur, according to the degree of occurrence and the above dosage, the spraying interval should be shortened and the amount of medication increased. The pests and diseases that harm peonies are gray mold, rust, soft rot, cockroaches and cutworms. Gray mold can be controlled with metalaxyl, Bordeaux mixture, etc.; rust can be controlled with powder rust, diniconazole, enemy, etc.; soft rot is treated with agricultural streptomycin, mancozeb, garinong, etc.; cutworms and the like are treated with methyl isoxazole, phoxim, carbofuran and other agents for root irrigation or ridges.

7. Flowering period: After the buds sprout, remove excess buds in time, which can concentrate nutrients and promote the beauty of the terminal bud. After flowering, thank you; if you do not plan to collect seeds, cut off the flower stalk directly to avoid the seeds consuming nutrients. Medicinal peonies bloom in the third year after planting. After flowering, in addition to the remaining planting plants, from late April to early May in the morning, gently cut the first flower bud from the base of the flower stem, for arranging flowers or cut flowers, to promote nutrients for concentrated root growth.

Care points

○

1. After receiving the flowers, remove the waterproof cotton from the roots, and receive the flowers upon receipt;

2. Fill a clean vase with 2/3 water (PS: the vase must be washed);

The leaves of the peony are relatively lush. Before putting it in the bottle, excess leaves must be removed and 2 to 3 leaves left at the top of the branch. The remaining rotten leaves at the bottom need to be removed. Leaves cannot remain below the water level, because the leaves will also steal nutrients and moisture from the flowers, and leaves growing in the water affect the shelf life;

4. Use scissors to cut along the root at 45 degrees and insert them into the vase in order (PS: insert into the vase to match the height, leaving enough space for each flower to stretch);

5. In hot weather, it is best to change the water once a day;

6. In order to increase the water absorption of the roots, it is necessary to prune the roots regularly;

Tips:

The peony is cold-tolerant, but it is drought-tolerant, cool in summer and cool in summer. Peonies easily dehydrate in high-temperature environments. Because the petals of the peony are very thin and mainly rely on the roots below to absorb water, you should pay attention to shading, and if you are not careful it will severely dehydrate.

Dehydration feels like a feeling of decay, so you must pay attention to it. If dehydration is found, deep-water remediation should be carried out immediately, remove the leaves, and avoid water accumulation. Because the peony is very fragile, if it is half-open, the petals may be knocked off during transport, and damaged petals can be gently removed.

Key points of land preparation for a peony base and peony garden

1. Land preparation time:

In the north, try to prepare the land before August

In the south, prepare the land in mid-September

Raise the land

2. The first point is drainage:

The peony and peony base should try to choose rivers, drainage ditches, high ground, neutral, slightly alkaline, slightly acidic soil, cut according to large plots of "field," and dig surrounding drainage systems

Drainage system

3. Build roads:

The roads around the peony and peony base and the intermediate work roads should be as low as possible. They can be used as worker management roads and can prevent heavy rain drainage. The peony garden can dig drainage channels on both sides of the walkway.

Field paths

4. Deep plowing of the land

After land acquisition, try to use large machinery to deepen 30-50 cm, because ordinary people have planted traditional crops for decades without deep plowing. The depth of a rotary tiller is only about 18 cm, and the permeability of the lower plate is too poor. In order to better plant the deep-rooted peony and peony plants, try to deepen the land.

Deeply plow the land

5. Apply fertilizer before turning:

Before the land is turned, some organic fertilizer or target fertilizer can be applied according to the nature of the soil (acid and alkali). Organic fertilizer can be used such as sheep manure, rabbit manure, cow manure beans and chive seed cake, etc., but it must be used after fermentation. The medicine is mainly used to kill underground pests. Pesticide-based drugs: carbendazim, carbofuran, chlorpyrifos, etc., or mix with bait (soybean meal and wheat bran) liquid medicine and then sprinkle.

Organic fertilizer
