Cultivation method of peony

Light peony chlorophytum likes light. In addition to proper shading at noon in midsummer, adequate light should be given at other times of the year, especially in winter. At the same time, it can be placed in a sunny place to receive as much sunlight as possible while ensuring the temperature. If it is left in a place with insufficient light for a long time, the color of the leaves will become pale and lifeless, and even the leaves will fall off and lose their ornamental value. Conditional friends can leave it outside the house from beginning of spring. After sufficient irradiation, plants have many flowers and bright colors, and their leaves are not easy to grow in white.

Temperature: Paeonia suffruticosa likes a warm and comfortable living environment and avoids high temperature and cold. The optimum growth temperature is 15 ~ 25℃. When the temperature is too high in summer, attention should be paid to cool plants, which can be moved to a well-ventilated semi-shady place for maintenance; Peony is not cold-tolerant, so be careful after autumn. The weather turns cold, so keep warm. Those placed outdoors should be moved indoors in time to avoid frostbite.

Water and fertilizer require peony to like dry environment and should not be watered too much. Water and fertilizer management can change according to the specific growth of peony. Peony grows vigorously from March to September every year. During this period, the water demand is large, especially in the hot summer season. At the same time, we should pay attention to the fact that there can be no water in the basin and follow the principle of seeing dry and wet. Wait until the soil in the basin is dry before watering it. Too much water can easily lead to root rot and serious death. After September, chlorophytum peony will enter a slow growth period. At this time, the amount of watering should be gradually reduced to prepare for moving indoors for the winter. Peony chlorophytum has low requirements on fertilizer and water, and it is enough to apply cake fertilizer and water once every half month in the growing season.

Propagation method: Dictyophora indusiata generally adopts cutting propagation, which should be carried out in spring and autumn. At this time, the temperature and environment are suitable for the growth of dictyophora indusiata, and the survival rate of cutting is high. Cut off a mature peony branch, dry it for a while, then insert it into the prepared pot soil and put it in a cool and ventilated place to keep the soil slightly wet. After a few days, you can see the branches stand upright, which means that new branches begin to take root.
