The fastest way to root peony cuttings

Peony cutting time

In order to ensure the survival rate of peony cuttings, you can choose the right time. The best time is in autumn. The climate during this period is just right, the temperature is mild and moderate, and the humidity is also suitable, so the survival rate of cuttings is higher.

Simple method of cutting peony

1. Branch selection : Choose a young branch, preferably one that has just been cut from the mother plant, so that it has a greater chance of survival. Cut a branch with a length of 10 to 15 cm, keep the top leaves, and discard all other leaves.
2. Choose the soil : The most common soil we usually use can be mixed with river sand. However, due to environmental changes, many soils are polluted, so such soils need to be disinfected. It is best to soak the soil in 0.5% potassium permanganate solution, and then take it out and dry it after 30 minutes.
3. Soak the branches : Since soil disinfection takes 30 minutes, we can use this time to do some processing on the selected branches. Soaking the branches with rooting powder can help the branches take root and sprout quickly, which is of great help for future growth.
4. Cutting : Insert the processed branches into the sterilized soil. We should pay attention to one thing: it is best to keep the part of the branch inserted into the culture soil at about 3 cm, and then give it appropriate watering.

Peony cutting rooting method

Before cutting peony, soak the cuttings in 0.01% (0.01g aspirin dissolved in 100ml water = 0.01% aspirin solution) aspirin solution to help them take root quickly.

If the peony cuttings remain green for a long time and you can feel a firm grip when you pull the stems with your hands, it means the cuttings have taken root successfully.

How long should I water the newly cut peony?

Peony has a well-developed root system and generally does not need watering. After cuttings are taken, water them once to help them take root, and then water them appropriately depending on the dryness of the soil.
