Why don't peonies want to bloom beautifully? 5 main mistakes that most Summer residents make

Novice gardeners, summer residents, still understand little about the cultivation and cultivation of such luxurious flowers as peonies. At the beginning of their "horticultural career", they immediately make the first mistake and wonder why peonies do not want to bloom beautifully.

And the reason is very banal and simple - the youth of the plant. If the bush was planted about 1-3 years ago, then the scarcity of flowering can be safely attributed to "youth".

This rule does not apply to all plots. Some may take only a year, and another three times longer.

It's another matter if an adult shrub that has survived adaptation after transplantation and has outgrown adolescence refuses to bloom. The alarm needs to be beaten if the bush is gaining only 2-3 buds (or even none at all). Understanding the reasons!

Incorrect fit

When planting a young delenka, you should adhere to the standard rule - the deepening is not more than 5-6 cm. Otherwise, flower buds will freeze in the cold season, rot. Therefore, a young bush will not be able to break through to the surface.

The third reason is the choice of a shady place. Of course, in the shade, peonies quickly grow green mass. But flowering stops. Peony bushes love the sun - this rule needs to be remembered.

Choose cozy, sunny corners in the garden without depriving your pets of vital light.

Other mistakes of novice summer residents

Many gardeners forget that peonies, although they do not need frequent transplantation, still need to change their place once a decade. Otherwise, the flowering ceases to be lush.

What can be done:

1. Transplant the bushes to a new sunny location.

2. Dig up the bushes, fertilize the old soil and try to leave the peonies in the same place.

This leads to the next mistake - improper plant nutrition. A peony takes a lot of nutrients to bloom.

If you fertilize the soil and the flowers in a timely manner, then you should not expect a decent appearance. In the spring, it is necessary to apply phosphorus-potassium fertilizers and nitrogen to the soil.

But do not rush from one extreme to another. After all, another problem may arise - a fattening peony. Your bushes will get stronger, they will pamper with greenery, thick and dense shoots.

However, there will be no flowering. This is a sign that you are clearly overdoing it with nitrogenous baits and organic matter. Often this problem is faced by gardeners who pamper the earth with an abundance of manure, superphosphates, potassium.

Remember that everything is good in moderation. Especially if you love growing peonies!
