  How To Plant Bare Root Peony Seedlings in Spring？

  1.Transplanting steps

  Digging planting holes:

  Dig suitable planting holes based on the size and root condition of the seedlings.The depth and width of the planting hole should be slightly larger than the root system of the seedling to ensure that the root system can fully stretch.Apply an appropriate amount of base fertilizer at the bottom of the hole and mix it evenly with the soil.

  plant:

  Place the seedlings into the planting holes to ensure that the root system is naturally stretched and there is no occurrence of root hollowing or curling.Fill the soil while stabilizing it, ensuring close contact between the soil and the root system.The planting depth should be appropriate, generally 'deep without burying the heart, shallow without exposing the roots'.

  Watering and rooting:

  After planting, immediately water the roots thoroughly to ensure that the seedlings can fully absorb water.If the soil permeability is poor, a cofferdam can be built after watering to prevent water loss.

  2.Post transplant management

  Moisturizing and shading:

  After transplantation, the soil should be kept moist and watered according to the weather conditions.In hot and dry weather, shade nets can be set up to reduce water evaporation.

  Loosening and weeding:

  Regularly loosening the soil and keeping it loose and breathable is beneficial for root growth.Timely weed control to prevent weeds from competing with seedlings for nutrients and water.

  Disease and pest control:

  Pay close attention to the growth of seedlings, and once pests and diseases are discovered, take timely measures to prevent and control them.

  Fertilization and pruning:

  After the seedlings survive, timely fertilization should be applied according to their growth conditions to promote their robust growth.Trim the seedlings as needed to maintain good tree shape and ventilation conditions.

  3.Precautions

  Avoid over watering:

  After transplanting in spring, the soil temperature is low, and excessive watering can inhibit root respiration, leading to root rot.Watering should be done in a timely manner according to the weather and soil moisture conditions to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.

  Preventing frost damage:

  In northern regions, the temperature fluctuates greatly in spring, so it is important to prevent seedlings from freezing.Measures such as covering insulation materials and building wind barriers can be taken to prevent cold and keep warm.

  Pay attention to weather changes:

  After transplantation, it is important to closely monitor weather changes and take timely measures to respond.In case of severe weather such as strong wind and rainstorm, protection work shall be done in advance to prevent seedlings from being damaged.

  In summary, the transplantation of bare root seedlings in spring requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, including transplantation time, seedling quality, transplantation steps, and post transplantation management. Only by doing a good job in every aspect can we ensure the survival rate and growth quality of seedlings.
