Almost every household plot decorate perennial flowers and among them the most common flowering bush is peonies. Although they bloom for long, their lush flowers of red, pink, burgundy and white color are sometimes incredible feelings from their owners. But that the bush develops well, peonies are recommended to transplant in the fall to a new place, at least once every 4-5 years. If not to transplant the plant, he will not miss nutrition, the roots will grow strongly, some of them will begin to refine, and, in the end, it will bloom.
When to transplant peonies?
The transplant of the broken peonies is recommended to be carried out, starting from the second decade of August and until October, not later, so that the roots manage to take care before the onset of frosts. During this period, with a decrease in the daylight, food is redirected from stalks and foliage to roots, new kidneys are formed. In addition, the plant is easier to adapt to change the place in cool weather and then prepare for wintering on a new site.
Soil preparation for transplantation
If you correctly perform a peony transplant, it can bloom in the next season. What should be a new place where the peonies are moving?
- The plant loves sufficient lighting, in the shadow it will definitely be blossoming. Therefore, peonies are better not to plant under fruit trees or near buildings.
- Peonies, as a rule, are unpretentious, grow almost everywhere, but not in raw soils: they will make roots, and they will most likely grow. It is also important to destroy perennial weeds.
- You need to dig a yat for a transplant for 30-60 days, then the fertilizer will be able to ripen. The diameter and the depth of the pitted pit - about 60 centimeters. Bushes planted at a distance of about 1 m from each other.
- Peat or compost pour into the pit. On the bottom there are grass or layer layer at 10 cm. We can use potassium sulfate and superphosphate (150 g of each). The clay soil sprinkles with river sand and haired lime, and the sandy soil is diluted with clay. Compost mixed with Earth.
Shooting bush
The most complex procedure during transplantation is to dig a peony bush. Than he is older - the harder it is to dig. Therefore, it is not necessary to postpone his transplant. The plant has a strong root system, which goes deep into the earth almost per meter. The roots of him is sufficiently tender, so it is necessary to dig up carefully in order not to damage them.
- The first thing the bush is cut off, leaving small stalks with a height of about 10 cm. Then it is abundantly watered, dripped around the perimeter, retreating from the extreme stems by about 30 cm. Then the bush is lifted with the help of the land. Going deep into very long roots can be chopped by a sharp shovel. This is not easy work, he is more on the shoulder man.
- From the dugged bush shake the ground, wash the roots under the jet of water from the hose, then removed with a knife rotten roots and damage.
- The bush needs to be left in the shade for a couple of hours, covering the roots with a rag, then they are taught a little and become less fragile.
Separation of bush
Experienced flower flows are done like this: first in the middle part of the digged bush, pegs are riding and divided into in half. Then, if necessary, divide into several parts, but with such a calculation so that in each defense there was one fat root of up to 20 cm long and at least two, and even better three renewal kidneys.
Hard the roots should be carefully cropped with a smoothly sound knife, and the slice location is disinfected immediately with a solution of mangalls or wood ash to protect against any disease. Now the peonies are prepared for landing.
Landing
The most important when landing the deer is observing the depth of landing. Placing in the pit, the roots of the peony bush are sprinkled with the earth and crimp. The lands of land over the kidneys must have at least 5 centimeters. The landing is watered (approximately 5 liters of water), and rewind the ground again, because when watering it will take place.
For wintering, stalking stalks are cut into shorter (up to 2-5 cm) and shelted mulch (compost, foliage, peat).
If you correctly carry out a transplant of peony, as well as good to care for it, the root system will actively develop that it will allow the transplanted bush to bloom even next year. However, in the first year after the transplant, it is better to cut buds, which will allow the bustle to be better to root, and only for the third year to give peonies to bloom fully.
