With their large, beautiful flowers and wonderful fragrance, they become a beautiful feature in your home. So take the opportunity to buy a catch and enjoy watching them go from bud to magnificent flower. Just like all other cut flowers, it does well with extra love.

Care advice for peonies:

Prune your peonies

It is not enough that the florist has already made an incision in the stem. The paper with water in which the flower has been transported settles in the pores of the cut. So get into the habit of always making your own cut when you get home. Cut every two to three days to continue to keep the cut clean.

Water your peonies

Warm water : As the peony is a herb, it thrives best in water that is warm. Don't forget to clear the water of leaves that lie and form bacteria and algae. Feel free to change the water every other day to keep it clean.

Spray with water : Is your peony not blooming? Try spraying and bathing with cold water. Sometimes the sticky surface on the top can prevent the flower from breaking out.

Avoid sunlight : Do you want to enjoy the flower for an extra long time? Put it in a shady place and you will postpone the flowering.
