If you want to maintain peony, you need to lay a good foundation at the beginning of planting. There are many ways to grow peony. You can choose sowing, branching, cutting and layering, but the most common method is branching and transplanting, and the best time is in autumn. Friends who like Paeonia lactiflora should have heard of the saying that "Paeonia lactiflora will bloom when it is old", which is also reasonable, because the roots of Paeonia lactiflora are fleshy, and the roots branched in spring are easy to be damaged, and the recovery will be slower. The best transplanting time is from August to mid-September every year.

1. The flower soil of Paeonia lactiflora needs to be slightly acidic soil with high organic matter content, and the common garden soil can be river sand and decomposed organic fertilizer. Be careful not to hurt the roots of Paeonia lactiflora when transplanting.

2. Daily maintenance: The daily maintenance of peony is relatively simple. The first is the problem of fertilizer. Paeonia lactiflora likes fertilizer, especially in bud stage, which requires a large amount of fertilizer and needs to be supplemented in time. Usually, peony can be fertilized every other month or so, and some rotten cake fertilizer can be applied. Before the flowering period of Paeonia lactiflora, more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied. After the flowering period of Paeonia lactiflora, it is easy to lack fertilizer, so we should pay attention to timely supplement fertilizer.

3. The second is watering. Paeonia lactiflora is sensitive to water, and it is not allowed to water too much, which may easily lead to rotten roots. Usually, the flower soil can be kept moist, and there can be no water. When evaporation is strong in summer, you can spray some water on the leaves appropriately. Peony should pay attention to timely drainage in rainy days to avoid water accumulation.

In addition, there is the problem of pruning. Peony flowers should pay attention to sparse buds in bud stage. Peony flowers have thin stems, and too many buds are easy to lodging. Therefore, it is best to leave only one or two buds on a flower branch, not too many. In addition, peony flowers will be cut off in time to avoid nutrient loss. In late autumn, all the dead branches and aerial parts of Paeonia lactiflora should be cut off. In addition to the above, we also need to pay attention to insect prevention, loosening soil and weeding.
