When binding buds, they need fertilization. Only then will they be able to bloom abundantly. It is also necessary to apply several care rules to enjoy these flowers in all its glory. So how do you strengthen these plants and make sure that the garden floods with a riot of colors? Check now.
We usually plant peonies in early autumn. We can also do it in spring – from March to May, if we want to put plants with roots in the ground. We keep a distance of 90 x 50 cm.
Of course, after planting, the specimens require proper care. They grow best in a sunny position, sheltered from the wind. Lack of sun results in poor flowering. They also need a well -drained, moist, permeable soil with neutral or slightly acidic.
Water the peonies moderately, directing the water stream directly to the ground. However, we avoid soaking leaves and flowers. Pouring and wetting leads to the development of fungal diseases.
Let’s not forget about removing faded inflorescences. Thanks to this treatment, we will stimulate plants to intensive growth and take care of the aesthetics of discounts.
These specimens should not be exaggerated too often. They should stay in one place for many years. Only then will they fully develop.

Like the above -mentioned treatments, it is equally important in their cultivation. Then they will spend large, beautiful flowers.
The minerals we provide to them are also important. Too much nitrogen in the fertilizer causes the growth of not flowers, but the leaves. Therefore, use nutrients abundant in phosphorus and potassiumthat care about the development of the root system and initiate flowering.
We perform the first fertilization in early spring, i.e. after vegetation. The second is carried out during buds, so after 4-6 weekswhile the third power should take place after flowering.
For peony, we can prepare a conditioner from the popular waste, which is coffee grounds. They contain not only potassium and phosphorus, but also magnesium, calcium and iron. So how do you make them a fertilizer?
Just pour in a glass of coffee grounds up to 10 liters of water, set aside for a moment until the waste swells and then mix well. We water the plants with a prepared solution every 2 weeks.
Banana skins are also a source of potassium and phosphorus. To make them a fertilizer, we need to cut them into pieces, pour water and set aside for 2-3 days. After this time, strain the liquid and water it with peonies. Nothing prevents you from burying waste in the ground around plants.
Another homemade conditioner, intended for high pH soils, is the one made of citric acid. Dissolve 10 g of this product in 10 liters of water. Then gently acidify the ground.
