Temperature: Peony likes warmth and is suitable for growing in an environment between 20-32℃. In summer, avoid high temperature resistance and do not let the temperature exceed 35°C to avoid affecting its growth. Light: It likes light very much, so it needs to be exposed to full sun during maintenance. But if the light in summer is very strong, appropriate shade is needed. Watering: It likes moisture. You can water it more during maintenance, but do not let water accumulate in the soil to prevent it from getting waterlogged. Fertilization: Additional phosphorus fertilizer needs to be applied before and after flowering.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Judging from its origin and distribution area, it likes higher temperatures, specifically between 20 and 32 degrees. If the temperature is too high, its leaves will easily dry up, so it should not exceed 35 degrees. Some varieties have good cold tolerance and can tolerate temperatures as low as minus 8 degrees Celsius, but some are also more intolerant of the cold.

2. Light: Peonies like light very much and need to be shaded only when the light is too strong. Generally speaking, except in summer, there is generally no need for shade. In summer, the light cannot be completely blocked, and the shading degree should be kept at about 50%.

3. Watering: Although peony likes humidity, It is also afraid of waterlogging. Therefore, it can be adjusted according to drought and flood conditions. In times of drought, water more and keep it moist. But when there is a lot of rain, you have to pay attention to drainage.

4. Fertilization: It has a longer flowering period and more leaves, so it needs more fertilizer. In addition to base fertilizer, try to use liquid fertilizer once or twice a month, especially during the flowering period.

2. Breeding skills

1 . Repot: Peonies will grow faster during the growth period, and flowering will consume more nutrients. Therefore, the soil should be replaced every year as much as possible. Mountain soil can be used as the main substrate, and wood chips and other substances can be mixed in. In addition, base fertilizer is still relatively important. Available options include animal manure, cake fertilizer, etc.

2. Pruning: Peonies grow quickly, so pruning is very important, and the plants are more resistant to pruning. Generally speaking, pruning can be done in spring to increase the number of flowers later. Before entering winter, it is best to prune, mainly to cut off old and dry branches and leaves.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1 , Disease: There is "soot disease", which seriously damages the branches and leaves, especially the leaves, affecting their photosynthesis. It can be prevented and treated with thiophanate. There is also "anthrax", which spreads very quickly and needs to be controlled with Bordeaux in time.

2. Insect pests: mainly "nematodes", which harm the roots, so it is very important to disinfect the soil.

IV. Other issues

1 , Flower language: The meanings of peonies are all good, including "humility", "virtue", "true love" and so on.

2. Can it be raised at home: Yes, the ornamental effect is good.
