1、 Illumination

Peony is difficult to be cultivated and grow well in the basin for a long time. Therefore, when planting peony, we should choose a sunny environment. Generally speaking, it is ideal in the southeast, and it needs sufficient light and is afraid of exposure. Therefore, it is best to have some tall trees to block the light. For example, the cool environment of flowers, as we commonly call it, can grow better

2、 Temperature

Peony is more resistant to cold and afraid of high temperature. It enters a dormant state when it reaches more than 25 degrees. It can survive the winter safely in most areas. It is recorded that it can withstand the low temperature of more than 30 degrees below zero

3、 Soil

The requirements for soil are relatively strict, the drainage is relatively good, and the neutral or slightly alkaline soil with deep soil layer is required. For example, the peonies in Luoyang and Heze are cultivated on the berm of the Yellow River

4、 Water and fertilizer

For the water and fertilizer management of peony, it is necessary to do a good job in the management and protection of water twice, one is to irrigate overwintering water once before winter, the other is to irrigate green water once after spring, and the other is to apply fertilizer once before flowering and after defoliation, which is very helpful for the flowering of the next year

5、 Pruning

During the maintenance of peony flowers, it is necessary to do a good job of pruning, timely cut off the residual flowers and clean up the small buds at the bottom, so as to promote its strong branches to grow flowers, and do not let its twigs grow too disorderly. These are the maintenance measures, but it is a very cumbersome work to keep peony well
