There are many ways to propagate peony. Sowing is mostly done in the autumn. Before planting, the seeds need to be soaked to induce germination, and then sown into the soil. Also in autumn, the plants are removed from their pots and divided into several clusters and replanted in the soil. Cuttings are carried out in July, and 10-15 cm long branches are cut and inserted into the soil. Layering requires girdling the branches, wrapping the girdling area with moist soil, and waiting for roots to take root before transplanting.

1. Sowing

1. Sowing

After the peony seeds mature, they need to be picked and sown into the soil. The survival rate is high for autumn sowing, but it is not easy for spring sowing to germinate. You can soak the seeds in warm water for a day before sowing to promote rooting. Prepare loose and fertile soil, sprinkle the seeds on the surface of the soil, pour an appropriate amount of water, and cover them with plastic film. Wait until the second spring for seedlings to emerge.

2. Branches

Peony Generally, divisions are used for propagation. The time for dividing plants is generally in autumn. If the time is too early, it will easily cause the plants to grow in autumn and affect the growth of the second year. If it is too late, it will also affect the development. Before dividing the plants, you need to take the plants out of the pot, being careful not to damage the roots, and then separate 3-5 sub-plants, which should have 2-3 buds. The separated sub-plants can be planted directly into the soil.

3. Cutting

Cutting is usually In mid-July, cut 10-15 cm long branches as cuttings, with two nodes on them and compound leaves on the top. Dip the bottom of the cuttings into indoleacetic acid to promote rooting. Prepare loose and fertile soil, insert the cuttings about 5 cm, and then water them thoroughly to keep the soil moist. Roots will usually take 20-30 days.

4. Layering

Peony layering You need to select a plant that grows robustly, find a branch from the top that is free of diseases and insect pests, and then girdle it, being careful not to break the branch. Wrap the girdling area with wet soil and wrap it with plastic tape. This can prevent the soil from falling off and also has a moisturizing effect. After waiting for rooting, you can separate and plant.
