How to spend the winter in potted peony and how to care for it in winter

1. Enter the room in time

It has a certain degree of cold resistance and is not afraid of freezing. However, if you are in the northern region, where the temperature is low and the wind is strong, it is recommended to move indoors in time after the temperature drops, otherwise you will easily get frostbite and suffer frost damage, which will affect your wintering. Don’t worry if you are in the southern region, just place it indoors, and be careful to avoid drafts and avoid being blown by the wind.

2. Get more sun

In winter, the sunlight is very mild no matter where you are. Peonies themselves like light, so you can put them in a bright place and let them get more sun. This can raise the temperature and is beneficial for the winter. In the northern region, place it on the south balcony or windowsill indoors; in the south, place it in a bright place, giving it sun all day.

3. Reduce watering

The temperature is low in winter and its absorption capacity will also decrease. At this time, the water consumed is relatively less, so water must be strictly controlled. If the soil is not dry, do not water it casually. When it is dry, just water it with small amounts of water. Do not water it excessively, otherwise the soil will easily become hardened and frostbitten, which is extremely unfavorable for wintering.

4. Stop Fertilizer Treatment

At this time, it does not need fertilizer to grow. It is necessary to stop applying fertilizer and no fertilizer should be applied. Otherwise, the plant will not be able to absorb it and will burn the roots, causing various fertilizer damages and preventing it from surviving the winter. Therefore, you must pay attention to stopping fertilization and wait until new shoots grow in spring before applying fertilizer again.
