Luoyang's Erqiao peony is a traditional treasure. Its flowers are graceful and luxurious. The same plant and the same flower can bloom in two colors, rose and pink. It is second to none among the multi-color peonies. So what should you pay attention to when cultivating peonies? Let’s take a look with the editor.

The soil of two peonies

Two peony soils

To plant peonies, use soft, fertile, well-drained, neutral or weakly alkaline sandy soil. Be careful not to use acidic soil. Peonies are prone to poor growth.

How to water two peonies

< p>Peony in Erqiao is relatively drought-tolerant. It should be watered appropriately during the vigorous growth period. It is better to be dry than wet. Do not accumulate water in the pot, otherwise it will easily cause root rot.

How to fertilize peonies

Peony's fertilizer needs vary according to seasonal changes. Generally, decomposed organic fertilizers are used in autumn, and chemical fertilizers are mainly used in spring and summer, and are applied with watering. Potted peonies are also suitable for liquid fertilizer.

Pruning of Erqiao Peony

Only about five peonies planted this year need to be kept after they sprout in spring, and all other redundant branches will be cut off. This can reduce nutrient consumption, make the remaining flower branches more nutritious, and make the flowers bigger and brighter. In autumn and winter, it is necessary to cut off the branches that have lost flowers and are weak and flowerless. For potted plants, the entire plant can be trimmed into shape at the same time.

Loose soil and change pots

During the growth period of peonies, timely weeding and pest control are required, and pest control must be carried out. Plants that are more than two years old need to be loosened. Potted peonies will become much larger after three or four years of growth. At this time, the soil should be changed in autumn or the plants should be divided and planted.

Temperature and environment

Er Qiao Peonies like a warm, dry environment, like plenty of sunshine, and can tolerate semi-shady environments. However, peonies are not heat-tolerant and hate exposure to the sun. When breeding, pay attention to proper shading. The temperature is around 17-20°C, which is suitable for flowers to bloom. When the temperature is higher than 25°C, peonies will enter dormancy. The flowers are relatively cold-resistant, but in too cold areas in the north, some measures to keep warm should be taken to prevent the plants from frostbite.

How to encourage flowering

If you want the peonies to bloom in advance, you can warm up the peonies in advance and control the daily temperature at around 10-25°C, with the average temperature around 15°C. At the same time, add water appropriately to keep it moist. After the flower buds sprout, pay attention to ventilation and increase light. If flowers are urged to bloom due to festivals or events, these operations should be carried out fifty days in advance.
