Lead: What's the difference between peony and peony? There are three differences, remember, the more you raise, the more prosperous you are, the flowers are big and colorful, and the atmosphere is rich and beautiful!
We grow flowers at home, whether in the yard or on the balcony. We can not only raise some flowering plants like chlorophyll, chlorophyll and asparagus, but also raise some flowering plants.
Among many ornamental plants, it is not necessary to raise Chinese rose, but there are two kinds of traditional famous flowers that can also be planted, not only in potted plants, but also in the yard. They are peony and peony.
These two kinds of flowers can be planted in flowerpots. These flowers are beautiful, magnificent, elegant and bright. When they bloom, they are really beautiful without friends and amazing.
So when raising these two kinds of flowers, in fact, many friends don't know the difference between peony and peony, because the flowers are really similar when they bloom. The flowers are big and brightly colored, and some of them are almost very tall. How can we distinguish these two kinds of flowers and plants?
In fact, peony and peony belong to the same family and genus, and they are both flower plants of Paeonia in Ranunculaceae. The difference between the two flowers is mainly manifested in leaves, colors and plant shapes. There are mainly the following differences. As long as we understand the differences between these three aspects, it is easy to know what flowers are.
1, look at the leaves
First of all, you can find the difference between these two flowers by observing them from the leaves. Peony leaves are wide, leaves are alternate, the front of the leaves is green, but with a little yellowish color, and the back of the leaves is different, which looks a bit like powder.
The leaves of peony are not so wide, they look longer and narrower, and the leaves are not as thick and thinner as peony. They are simple leaves, and the front and back of the leaves are emerald green and thick green, with more leaves and denser leaves. You can distinguish these two kinds of flowers by looking at the leaves.
2. Look at flowers and flowering period
Although they all bloom in spring, the peony blooms half a month earlier, usually around April, and in May.
When peony blooms, flowers are on the branches. Its flowers are very big. Flowers are much bigger than peony flowers, and their diameters are much larger. Its flower diameter is even 30 cm, or more than 30 cm
However, when the peony flower is open, the flower is beside the leaves or at the top of the branches, and the peony flower is obviously smaller, with a diameter of 15 cm. So peony flowers are bigger and peony flowers are smaller. From this point of view, it is also easy to distinguish two kinds of flowers.
3. Look at its stems and branches.
In addition, peony is a shrub, its branches and leaves look hard and woody, and its branches are thick and lush, which can grow into the trees below. Paeonia lactiflora is a perennial herb with a slightly thinner stem. This is also easy to distinguish.
Planting method of peony flower and peony flower
If it is potted peony, or potted peony planted at home, it is necessary to choose suitable flowerpots and soil to make them grow smoothly, with lush foliage and many flowers.
Because their roots are thick and fat, they should be planted in larger flowerpots. The diameter of the canopy is 30 cm, and the soil should be loose and fertile sandy loam, not clay or saline-alkali land with poor drainage, otherwise the roots will rot easily.
When planting these two kinds of flowers, it is best to choose autumn, when the autumn equinox is cold and dew. When watering them, be careful not to let the soil accumulate water. Too much water won't do. Pay attention to drainage in rainy season to avoid water accumulation.
Don't be exposed to the sun during flowering, and put it in a cool and ventilated place, which can prolong the flowering period, make the flowers more shiny and have higher ornamental value.
