How to care for Brown's Peony

Water

Brown's Peony should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil

Lighting

To ensure optimal growth, the Brown's Peony prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.
