Cultivate peonies in the bucket
From May to June they inspire with their pompous flowers. They are not only cultivated in the field, but some are planted in a jar. Does this require a large bucket or is it also possible in the pot? What is generally to be considered?
Bucket depth, bucket diameter and material
Small pots are not suitable for peonies. These plants quickly gain in mass and become very large. Therefore, you should use large buckets. Less suitable are plastic buckets. More suitable are those made of terracotta, clay or stone. They should be at least 40 cm in diameter and 50 cm deep.
Locations that offer themselves
When choosing a location, you can decide freely. It is important that the peony gets at least 4 hours of sun a day. The sunnier, the richer she will bloom. Both balconies and terraces offer themselves as locations. Preferably, place the plant in an airy place to minimize the risk of fungal disease.
Plant in the tub
So the plants go into the tub:
Hibernate properly in the bucket
From the end of October you should winterize your peonies. Cut down perennial peonies and place the bucket in a sheltered place, such as the house wall or a wall. With brushwood or foliage, the root area is covered. At temperatures below -10 ° C the bucket should be covered with fleece or jute.
Put some shrub peonies in tubs
Basically, you should plant shrub peonies in a tub rather than perennial peonies. The latter take a long time to become properly rooted and therefore long until they flower for the first time. In addition, they tolerate a Umtopfaktion rather bad than right and can insert as a result of such a flowering break.
Tips
If you have the opportunity, you prefer to plant the peonies in the field. In the bucket most people have had bad experiences with the plants. Often they do not bloom.
