Can peony be propagated by cuttings in spring?

1. Can cuttings be taken in spring?

It cannot be done because the climate is not suitable for its growth, and if you force cuttings at this time, it is very likely that the plant will not grow and even die.

2. Its best cutting season

Generally speaking, it is more suitable in autumn, because the temperature and growth habits are more suitable in this season, so it is recommended to do it at this time.

3. How to take cuttings

1. Pick a strong branch from the plant, preferably one with 3 to 4 leaves on it. Then disinfect the wound and wait for the incision to dry before proceeding with the cuttings.

2. Prepare a softer soil, then spray some water into it to wet the soil, then insert the treated branches into the soil, sprinkle the soil around, and then use water to gently press the soil near the branches to prevent the cuttings from falling off.

3. Then water it again and wait for about a month for it to grow roots. After its growth becomes stable, you can gradually expose it to sunlight. But when you first plant it, you cannot let it see the light, otherwise it will take a long time to take root.

4. Finally, you can transplant the healthy branches into the new pots. Make sure to apply some base fertilizer at the bottom so that the plants can grow better.
