How Long Does the Peony Bloom
The editor introduces you to how long the peony blooms and the related knowledge of peony propagation methods. Please see the detailed introduction below.
Peony is the flower of love and was also called the flower of engagement in the past. There are several methods of propagating peonies, including sowing, dividing, cutting, and layering. The most commonly used method is cutting, which is easy to operate and has a high survival rate. I will give you a detailed introduction to these propagation methods below.
1. Dividing
In August to September every year, select peonies with good growth, stop watering for 2-3 days, wait for the soil to completely dry, then tap the edges of the pot with a stick to separate the plant soil ball from the pot wall, tip the pot to remove the plant, and straighten the peony's roots. Then proceed with the natural division, prepare a new pot and growing soil, replant the divided peony, and place it in a shady place for 10-20 days to slow down the seedlings before normal maintenance can resume.
2. Sowing
Prepare full and mature seeds, do not choose shriveled or diseased seeds, soak them in rooting water for 30-45 minutes, then take them out and place them in a ventilated area to dry in the shade. Prepare a suitable container, fill it with growing soil, and sow the seeds in the soil at a depth of about 2-3 centimeters, spray water to keep the soil moist, and wait 25-30 days for them to germinate.
3. Cutting
Select strong and disease-free branches from the peony mother plant, cut 8-15 centimeters long, remove excess leaves, and retain 1-2 top tender leaves. Cut the bottom end of the branch at a 45-degree angle, soak it in rooting water for 20-30 minutes, then take it out to dry. Plant the cuttings in clean substrates, water thoroughly, and place them in a shady and well-ventilated area for maintenance, and wait for them to root and survive before transplanting.
4. Layering
Select strong and healthy branches from the vigorous peony plant, bend the branch and cover a section with soil, and you can also use a hook to secure the branch. The layering will quickly grow into a seedling.
