Water peonies according to the dryness and moisture of the soil. After the soil surface dries, water should be replenished in time. Do not water too much to prevent water from flooding the roots and causing rot. Don't let it dry for a long time, otherwise the leaves will dry out. Water evaporates quickly in summer, so water more appropriately and less in winter. Generally, river water is used for irrigation, and the water temperature should be close to room temperature. If too much water is applied, the accumulated water needs to be drained and the soil loosened appropriately to speed up water evaporation.

1. How to water

Peonies are sensitive to moisture. Too much water can easily cause the roots to be submerged, hindering their breathing, and can also breed bacteria and cause rot. Insufficient watering will result in poor plant growth and yellowing and dry leaves. So be sure to control the amount of water and water when the soil surface is dry. Generally, water more in summer and less in winter.

2. Precautions

1 2. Water quality requirements: When watering peonies, you must use river water, not tap water. Tap water contains chlorine, which has a negative impact on its growth. You can dry it for a few days and wait for the chlorine to evaporate before using it.

2. Control the water temperature: Peonies have good cold resistance , but watering with water that is too low in temperature can easily frostbite its roots. Therefore, it is necessary to control the water temperature, first put the water indoors, and wait until its temperature is close to room temperature before pouring.

3. Spray water to cool down: Peonies are more suitable to grow in a dry environment, but if the temperature is too high, you can spray water to cool down. Fill a watering can with water and spray it on the leaves. It is not advisable to spray too much water to prevent bacteria from growing due to moisture.

4. Water accumulation treatment: Peonies are very afraid of getting wet. Once a flower pot accumulates water, it can easily cause it to wither and die. Therefore, accumulated water must be drained promptly and the soil should be loosened appropriately to accelerate water evaporation. If water remains for a long time, it may cause root rot. The plant needs to be removed from the pot and the rotten roots must be pruned. Then soak in carbendazim solution, disinfect and replant.
