How to propagate autumn peony

The propagation method of autumn peony by division

The propagation of autumn peony by division can be said to be a relatively long-lasting method of propagation. As early as the Ming Dynasty in my country, people began to propagate autumn peony by division. The specific steps of division are: first select a well-growing and strong autumn peony as the mother plant, then uproot the mother plant, and divide the mother plant into daughter plants according to the patterns of the autumn peony roots. The size of the daughter plants depends on the size of the mother plant. Generally, if the mother plant is large, there will be more daughter plants, and if the mother plant is small, there will be fewer daughter plants. However, it must be ensured that each daughter plant has a complete root system. After dividing. After treating the wound, plant the seedlings in the prepared soil and water them sufficiently.

Cutting propagation method of autumn peony

Cutting propagation is relatively the most commonly used propagation method. It is simple and easy, and has a relatively high survival rate. The steps of cuttings are also simpler. The first is to prepare the soil. It is best to disinfect the soil before cuttings. Then select cuttings. Generally, five eight-centimeter branches are cut from strong mother branches as cuttings. In addition, it must be ensured that there are three to five buds on each cutting to increase the survival rate of cuttings. Finally, insert the selected cuttings into the prepared soil. Generally, the part in the soil accounts for about one-third of the whole cutting. Remember to water it enough after insertion.

Seed propagation of autumn peony

This method of propagation can be said to be the simplest one. As long as you take the seeds of autumn peony in the season when the seeds are ripe, select the seeds with full grains and no scratches, evenly sow them in the soil, then lightly cover them with a layer of soil and water them enough. If you maintain them carefully, they will generally germinate in one to two weeks.
