5. Things to note

When cultivating peonies and spider plants, use soil that is breathable, water-permeable and has good drainage properties. It loves light, so it should be exposed to direct light for six hours in spring, autumn and winter. In summer, it should be shielded from strong light to avoid sunburn. Its peak growth season is from March to September every year, and it requires a lot of water, so it needs to be replenished in time. It is also necessary to apply thin fertilizer frequently to ensure sufficient nutrients. In addition, it should be noted that it is not cold-resistant and needs to be kept warm in winter.

1. Soil

When breeding, you need to use soil that is breathable, water-permeable and has good drainage properties. You can configure it yourself. Mix an appropriate amount of cake fertilizer, sand soil, and garden soil, or mix garden soil and coarse sand, and then add an appropriate amount of decomposed manure to increase nutrients. The plants will grow vigorously in such a soil environment.

2. Light

It is a plant that loves sunlight. If you want it to bloom better, you need to give it enough light. Generally, it should be exposed to direct light for six hours in the three seasons of spring, autumn and winter, and diffused light should be used at other times. The sunlight in hot summer is too strong, so it should be avoided in time and placed in a semi-shady place for maintenance.

3. Watering

The peak growth season is between March and September every year. It requires a lot of water and needs to be replenished in time. Generally, watering should be done once every three or four days to keep the soil slightly moist. When the temperature drops in autumn, the amount of water required will decrease and the frequency should be reduced. Generally, watering once a week will be sufficient. Also pay more attention to the surface of the pot soil to avoid water accumulation.

4. Fertilization

It likes thin fertilizer. When breeding, you must master the principle of applying thin fertilizer frequently. Usually, fertilizer needs to be supplemented every other month in spring and autumn. As fertilizer, ordinary compound fertilizer or decomposed cake fertilizer will suffice. If you want it to bloom better, water it with potassium dihydrogen phosphate once a month, so that the number of blooms will increase and the flower color will be brighter.

5. Precautions

Its cold resistance is relatively poor, the temperature is low in winter, so attention should be paid to timely temperature control. It is recommended to move the plants indoors after cooling down, control the temperature above 10 degrees, and cover them with plastic film if necessary to avoid frostbite.
