Soil: Sandy loam is more suitable for cultivating wax peonies because of its looseness, good air permeability, and good water diversion properties. Moisture: It does not require much water and likes slightly dry soil. It should be covered in time on cloudy and rainy days and should not be exposed to rain. Nutrients: Wax peony does not require much fertilizer. Fertilization is enough about once a year. When fertilizing, be careful to avoid spraying fertilizer on its roots, branches and leaves.

Cultivation methods and precautions of wax peony
1. Maintenance methods

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: Loose sandy loam with good air permeability is suitable for cultivating wax peonies. Dry soil with good water conservancy can make it grow better.

2. Moisture: Control the water when watering. You don’t like the soil to be wet for a long time. If it grows in a humid environment for a long time, its roots will easily rot. On rainy days, move to a sheltered place to avoid accumulation of water in the basin.

3. Nutrients: Its demand for fertilizers is not high. Fertilization is enough once a year for breeding. Just use fermented chicken manure water to irrigate the soil. Avoid spraying of manure water. On the branches and leaves and too close to the roots.

4. Light: Wax peony is suitable for full sun. When the sun is full at noon, it should be given appropriate shade. If the temperature of the light at noon is too high, it will stop growing.

2. Breeding skills

1. Pruning and potting: After planting for about two years, it needs to be replaced with a larger pot. When changing flower pots, you need to properly prune its messy root system and trim off some of its densely growing branches and buds to avoid insufficient nutrient absorption after transplanting.

2. Propagation: Mainly propagation by branch cuttings, select strong branches and leaves and insert them into nutritious soil. Then keep the soil moist, and it will take root and sprout in about ten days. After germination, you need to loosen the soil and weed properly to promote the absorption of nutrients.

3. Diagnosis and treatment of problems

1. Black rot: If black rot is not treated in time, it will directly infect the entire plant and turn it black and soften. At this time, the infected parts should be cut off first. The branches and leaves can be sprayed with diluted carboxylic acid.

2. Root rot: Root rot usually occurs when the amount of water is too much, or when it is soaked by rain on rainy days, resulting in water accumulation in the pot, which will cause root rot. .

IV. Other issues

1. How to spend the winter: In winter, it should be moved to a ventilated place in the house for breeding. The temperature should not be too low. If it is too low, it will stop growing or be destroyed. Frostbite.

2. Whether it can be exposed to rain: Wax peony cannot be exposed to rain. There are some unclean substances in the rainwater that will cause rot to its branches and leaves. There will also be damage if there is accumulation of water in the basin. Root rot occurs.
