How To Water Tree Peonies in Autumn?

1、 Control water volume

The temperature gradually decreases in autumn, and the water evaporation of tree peonies will also decrease accordingly, so watering should not be excessive. Every time watering, ensure that the soil is moist, but do not accumulate water to prevent root rot. Generally speaking, watering frequency can be reduced compared to summer, but it still needs to be flexibly adjusted according to local climate and soil conditions.

2、 Watering method

See dry and see wet: Follow the watering principle of "see dry and see wet", that is, wait until the soil surface is slightly dry before watering to avoid the soil being in a moist state for a long time.

Watering thoroughly: Ensure that the water can penetrate deep into the soil during each watering session, so that the roots can fully absorb the water. But it is also necessary to avoid excessive moisture to prevent water accumulation.

Uniform watering: Watering should be done evenly to avoid watering only a part of the soil, which can lead to uneven distribution of roots.

3、 Watering time

The best time to water in autumn is during a warm period with sunshine, such as between 10am and 4pm. This is beneficial for the evaporation of water in the soil and reduces the risk of waterlogging. At the same time, watering at night or in the morning when the temperature is low can also be avoided to prevent frost damage to the tree peonies.

4、 Attentiones

Avoid rainwater accumulation: During the rainy season, attention should be paid to timely drainage to prevent rainwater from accumulating in the basin and causing root rot.

Water quality selection: Tree peonies prefer alkaline soil environments, so it is best to use neutral or weakly alkaline water when watering. If using tap water, it is recommended to leave it for a period of time before use to remove harmful substances such as chlorine gas.

Observing the plant condition: During the watering process, it is important to closely monitor the growth status of the tree peony. If yellowing or wilting of the leaves is found, it may be due to improper watering, and the watering strategy should be adjusted in a timely manner.

The tree peony is now in the autumn planting season, and we are also in the shipment season. There are over forty varieties of seedlings, as well as seed sowing seedlings and single stem peonies for you to choose from. If you have any questions about the tree peony, please actively message me.
