In order for the peony to bloom for a long time and delight with its beauty, you need to properly organize the plant's feeding.
Top dressing during the budding phase
Feeding peonies during the budding period will provide the plant with the microelements necessary for its abundant flowering.
The following recipe is especially popular among flower growers.
For a 10-liter bucket of water, take 1 liter of mullein infusion and 2 tablespoons of nitrophoska.
This fertilizer will be sufficient in the amount of two tablespoons per 10 liters of water.
Use the prepared solution for root feeding. The consumption rate is 7 liters per adult bush. Also, during the budding period, spraying the plants with the "Bud" preparation will be beneficial. To prepare the working solution, use 1 gram of the preparation per 1 liter of water.
Fertilizing during flowering period
During the flowering period, peonies need phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. They not only make the flowering brighter and more intense, but also longer lasting.
To prepare the fertilizer, use ammonium nitrate, potassium sulfate and superphosphate, 20 grams of each ingredient. Add the specified amount of components to 10 liters of water. This amount of fertilizer is enough to feed 3 bushes.
Tips for Growing Peonies
In order to achieve the longest possible flowering of peonies, it is necessary to create appropriate conditions.
To do this, you need to regularly conduct a visual inspection of the bushes and remove seed pods if they are found.
When peonies begin to fade, it is necessary to free the plant from faded inflorescences and faded buds. In this case, peonies will not waste their resources on seeds.
Peonies are unpretentious and undemanding. However, to grow large and lush flowers, you will have to pay some attention to the plant. Fertilizing at the budding stage and directly during flowering will help extend the unusually beautiful flowering period.
