Peony usually blooms in May and June, that is, in spring and summer.At this time, the temperature is rising, the growth rate of plants is relatively fast, as long as there are sufficient nutrients, it is easy to blossom.Its flowers are solitary at the top of the stem, occasionally with 2 or 3 flowers.The original seed is white, while the cultivated varieties are colorful, with single and double petals.
Paeonia lactiflora cannot bloom in four seasons.This kind of plant is affected greatly by climate, generally germinate in March and April, after the growth and flower bud differentiation of the previous year, the top of the stem will appear buds in April, and the flowers will open in May, and the flowering period will end in June.Each flower can open for 5 or 7 days, and the seeds will mature in August after the flowers fade, and the above-ground parts will die in October-November.
1. Adequate light: Paeonia lactiflora is a light-loving plant. Sufficient light during the growth period is conducive to the differentiation of flower buds. If the environment is relatively dark, it will affect the flowering of the plant.Usually, it should be placed in a sunny place to receive sunshine all day, but in summer, it should be slightly shaded to avoid water loss of leaves due to exposure, thus affecting plant photosynthesis.
2. Appropriate fertilization: Peony flowering needs nutrients, so it is necessary to fertilize it in time.Usually, organic fertilizer is used as fertilizer, which can supplement more comprehensive nutrients and will not cause fertilizer damage due to partial application.In addition, after the plant is in bud, by supplementing phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, it can also play a very good role in promoting flowering.
3. Control watering: The peony itself does not like moisture. If there is too much water, it is easy for the plant to continue to grow. However, proper control of water can transfer the nutrients used for its growth to flowering. For the plant, it can also promote the blooming of flowers.Daily watering as long as a little longer watering interval can be, do not have to have been watered very frequently.
