Chameleon peony, also known as hydrangea, is a beautiful ornamental plant. This plant originally grew in the Yangtze River Basin of China and is now cultivated all over the country. It belongs to the genus Hydrangea of the Saxifragaceae family. It is a beautiful plant with strong vitality and high ornamental value. Some people who like flowers and plants also like to grow chameleon peony at home, but they don't know how to grow it. Today I will write down its cultivation method and the things you need to pay attention to when growing it. How to grow color-changing peonies? How to grow color-changing peonies?1. Choose the right soil When cultivating color-changing peonies, you must choose suitable soil. They like loose, fertile and well-drained sandy loam, and the pH value of the soil will directly affect the color of the color-changing peony. If you want the color-changing peony to bloom dark blue flowers, you must feed it more aluminum sulfate during the bud formation period. If you want it to bloom beautiful pink flowers, you need to apply an appropriate amount of lime to the soil. 2. Temperature control The color-changing peony is suitable for cultivation in a warm environment of about 20 degrees. In winter, its ambient temperature cannot be lower than five degrees, and when entering the flower bud differentiation period, the temperature must be maintained between 7 and 10 degrees. After the color-changing peony enters the flowering period, it can be placed in an environment of about 20 degrees, which can promote it to bloom early, but after it blooms, the temperature must be controlled at about sixteen degrees, which can effectively extend its flowering period. 3. Lighting conditions The chameleon peony is a short-day plant. During the cultivation period, you must pay attention to the lighting conditions. It is exposed to mild sunlight for 3 to 4 hours a day. It can be placed in an environment with sufficient scattered light. In addition, during the cultivation period, it is exposed to more than ten hours of darkness every day. Flower buds will form in about 50 days. In addition, the chameleon peony should be kept away from direct sunlight during the cultivation period, especially in summer, necessary shading must be carried out. Things to note when growing color-changing peonies1. When growing color-changing peonies, you must pay attention to fertilization, because color-changing peonies are a fertilizer-loving plant. During its normal growth and development, it is necessary to apply fertilizer once every half a month, and the fertilizer should be thin liquid fertilizer. Before it enters the flowering period, potassium dihydrogen phosphate should be applied 1 to 2 times. 2. When cultivating color-changing peonies, you must also pay attention to pruning. This plant has strong vitality and is particularly resistant to pruning. After the seedlings survive, when they are about 15 cm tall, they must be topped. This can promote the growth of new branches. When the new branches grow to more than 15 cm, they must be removed for the second time. In addition, the old branches must be shortened in time during the cultivation period. Only in this way can the color-changing peony grow normally and bloom more and more beautiful flowers. |
