How does the red peony survive the winter?

Temperature conditions

The red peony is suitable for growing in a relatively warm environment and has poor cold resistance. Therefore, during the winter, you should move it into a warm and comfortable room in time before the temperature drops to avoid frostbite caused by low temperatures, which may even threaten its survival. In addition, the temperature should be kept above 8 degrees Celsius, with 10 degrees Celsius as the optimal maintenance temperature.

Lighting conditions

The red peony needs sufficient light in winter to ensure its growth. Therefore, it should be placed on a windowsill or balcony where sunlight can reach it during the winter to allow it to receive sufficient light and avoid poor growth due to lack of light.

Water and fertilizer conditions

The red peony is highly drought-resistant and suitable for growing in a relatively dry environment. Therefore, water control should be strict during the winter, and watering should be done as little as possible or not at all to keep the soil in the pot dry to avoid damage to its roots, which would make it difficult to survive the winter smoothly. Moreover, the lower the temperature, the drier the soil in the pot should be kept. It should also be noted that the red peony does not require fertilizer during the winter.

In summary, during the winter, suitable temperature, light, water and fertilizer conditions are the key to the successful survival of the red peony. It should be grown in a warm place so that it can enjoy sufficient sunlight, and at the same time, water and fertilizer should be strictly controlled to avoid damage to its root system. I believe that friends who are caring for the red peony must have remembered the above-mentioned key points for wintering, and can take appropriate measures in time to help it survive the winter and usher in the warm spring!
