What are the propagation methods for Peony吊兰 (Peony hanging orchid)?
A brief knowledge sharing article introducing various propagation methods for Peony吊兰 and techniques for achieving a full bloom of Peony吊兰 flowers in green plant care. Here is a detailed introduction.
Why do the leaves of Peony吊兰 become dull after 10 days of cutting propagation?
Peony吊兰 is very easy to propagate, making it a suitable flower for beginners. Cutting propagation can be successful in minutes. Simply pinch off a branch and insert it into the soil next to it. Within 7 to 8 days, it can grow leaves or even bloom, with little difficulty. However, some people have noticed that their leaves are still dull after 10 days. What is going on?
First, the soil is too wet.
Peony吊兰 is a succulent plant with thick branches. The wound is quite large when the branch is freshly pinched. After inserting it into the soil, the soil should be slightly moist. Remember not to water too much, as the wound can easily become infected, causing the branch to lose water, become withered, and spread upwards. Without root formation, it won't absorb nutrients, and the leaves will gradually become dull, leading to the failure of propagation. In the past, Peony吊兰 was always propagated in slightly moist soil, which resulted in almost 100% survival.
Second, the wound is damaged.
When propagating Peony吊兰, avoid pinching the branch with your hands as this can compress the tissue around the wound. If the tissue around the wound is damaged, it won't easily survive when inserted into the soil. It's best to use a sharp knife or pair of scissors to cut it off in one go, without damaging the surrounding tissue, which greatly improves the survival rate of propagation.

Third, the soil is too dry.
Usually, the soil for propagation should be kept slightly moist. Roots are easily generated in a humid environment. If the soil is too dry after propagation, it can cause the wound to lose water and gradually become dry, leading to failure.
As long as the soil for propagating Peony吊兰 is kept moist, loose and breathable, and the temperature is above 15 degrees, there is almost no chance of failure. Peony吊兰 is also one of the easiest hanging orchids to care for. Beginners are recommended to grow one pot. Its leaves are lush and the flowers are delicate, making it very visually appealing.
Getting more sunlight helps with more blooming. Insufficient light can cause the leaves to grow too large. However, that's not a problem. These thick and large leaves can be pinched off and briefly boiled, and they can be used as a delicious dish.
