Peonies are one of the most beautiful and fragrant flowers that you can grow in your garden.
They come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes.
But sometimes peonies may stop blooming prematurely or even not bloom at all. Why does this happen and how can you avoid it?
One of the main reasons for premature wilting of peonies is a lack of nutrients in the soil or water. This leads to weakening of plants and a decrease in their immunity. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are especially important for peonies, which promote growth, flowering and health of plants.
To prevent nutrient deficiencies, there are a few rules to follow.
First, you need to choose peony varieties that are suitable for your climate and soil.
Secondly, you need to provide good lighting and ventilation in the place where you plant peonies.
Thirdly, you need to regularly remove weeds, trim wilted flowers and leaves, and fight pests and diseases.
Fourthly, you need to water and feed peonies correctly.
But there is another simple and effective way to care for peonies so that they bloom until autumn - this is to use ordinary soda.
Soda is a natural substance that improves the quality of soil and water, neutralizes acidity and disinfects plants. In addition, soda stimulates flowering and prolongs its duration.
To use this method, you will need to dissolve 1 tablespoon of soda in 10 liters of water. Then you need to spray the peonies with this solution every 2 weeks from May to August.
This will help keep the peonies beautiful and fragrant.
By following these tips, you will be able to grow peonies that will delight you with their blooms until autumn.
