During the flowering stage, we must pay attention to the management of the peony. Proper management can extend the flowering time. After the buds appear, they should be thinned out according to the growth and flowering conditions of the previous year. There is a phenomenon of alternate years. Some lower and small buds should be thinned out. Pay attention to watering at ordinary times. Water thoroughly before flowering, and stop watering when flowering to avoid lowering the soil temperature and affecting flowering. Also pay attention to strong light, do not expose to the sun, and do not blow strong winds. In addition, after flowering, trim the remaining flowers to help recovery.

1. How to manage the flowering period

1. Bud thinning: After the buds appear, the buds should be thinned out according to the growth of the plant and the previous flowering situation. It has a phenomenon of alternate years, so if the number of flowers is relatively large in the same year, it is a good year, and some small and lower buds should be thinned out so that it can bloom better in the later period.

2. Watering: Be sure to water thoroughly before flowering, and stop watering when it is about to bloom. Be careful not to spray water on the leaves or flowers at this time, otherwise it will shorten the flowering period and the flowers will wither easily.

3. Light: It cannot be exposed to strong wind or scorching sun during flowering. Therefore, when the buds open, use a shade net to block the strong light and avoid direct exposure to the sun, which can extend its flowering period. But be careful not to place it in the shade for a long time, and expose it to more diffuse light.

4. Pruning: After the flowers bloom, cut off the remaining flowers in time. This can reduce nutrient consumption, help it recover, and extend the opening time of other flowers.

2. When is the flowering period?

Its flowering period is usually in spring every year, specifically around April. It can only bloom once a year, and the flowers do not last long, about ten days. During the flowering stage, its flowers are large, bright in color, and graceful in posture, making it highly ornamental. In addition, it can be made to bloom in autumn and winter by controlling the temperature and forcing the flowers to bloom.
