It is recommended to exclude the location of pions near buildings, as this will contribute to their overheating. Also a bad option would be to place them near trees and shrubs. They will suffer from a lack of moisture and nutrition. Given this, peonies should be planted at a distance of not less than 1 m from the tree. At the same time, choose those trees that are from the north or south, since they will not interfere with the illumination of pions by the sun's rays (the sun moves across the sky from east to west). An important point is the obtaining of direct sun rays by pions in sufficient volume. Therefore, the landing is carried out in a well-lit place.
- Selection of soil for planting. It should be neutral and in no case acidic.
- Preparation of the pit for planting. It begins to cook a month before the planting of flowers. This is necessary in order for the soil to settle. The pit needs to be dig deep enough, since the roots of the pions have a tendency to grow very much. The most suitable dimensions for the pit are a depth of 70 cm and a diameter of the same size. At the bottom poured a bucket of sand or have there pieces of broken bricks.
- Preparation of nutrient substrate. For this purpose, the soil is mixed with humus or peat (2 liters), ash (300 g) and phosphorus fertilizer (200 g). If you increase the proportions, it will weaken the flowering of peonies. The substrate is spilled with water and left for a month to lie down.
- Correct selection of the delenki. It should be with 3-5 buds and 2-3 roots. In no case can you use a 6-kidney or even more, as the plant will feed on the old rhizome.
- Planting is carried out so that the kidneys are buried 5 cm.
