Should I use a large or small pot for celery peony?

When planting peony, the size of the flowerpot needs to be determined according to the specific size of the plant. Generally, novices are suitable for using small pots. If a large pot is used, it will be difficult to control the application of water, and water accumulation will harm the root growth of the peony.

Growth environment: Celery peony likes a cool and ventilated environment. The best temperature for growth is around 15-20 degrees. Generally, it can be watered once a week. When fertilizing, you can apply decomposed cake fertilizer or manure.

Repotting time: After the flowers of the peony bloom out of the pot or after 1 or 2 years of maintenance, it needs to be repotted. Generally, October to November in autumn is the most appropriate time to repot the peony. You can choose a sunny day to repot.

Should I use a deep or shallow pot for celery peony?

It is most appropriate to use a deep pot for the care of the peony, because the roots of the peony generally grow deep. Shallow pot care will inhibit the growth of the roots of the peony, and the growth of branches and leaves will also become slow.

When planting peony, the requirements for the flower pot are not very high. Generally, a clay pot or a tile pot with good air permeability can be used. If you want it to be more beautiful, you can use a purple clay pot or a porcelain pot.

How to repot peony

1. Remove the pot and prune the roots

When removing the peony from the pot, you can slowly pat the outer wall and bottom of the pot. After the plant is removed, you can clean the soil on the roots, and then trim the stems and roots well.

2. Put it in the basin

The root wounds of the peony must be dried before potting, and the new pot needs to be disinfected first. Generally, some broken tiles can be placed at the bottom of the newly replaced soil in the pot to increase the air permeability of the pot.
