How to propagate peony flowers: Sharing six propagation methods for peony flowers.

How to propagate peony flowersThe editor introduces how to propagate peony flowers and shares the relevant experience of flower planting with six propagation methods for peony flowers. Let's understand together.Peony flowers are very popular ornamental plants, known for their national beauty and fragrance, with beautiful flowers and strong fragrance. Peony cultivation has a long history, but some people are not familiar with the propagation of peony flowers. So, how to propagate peony flowers? There are many methods for propagating peony flowers, divided into six types: division, grafting, seeding, cutting, layering, and tissue culture. Next, I will briefly describe the six propagation methods for peony flowers.[Six Propagation Methods for Peony Flowers]1. Division PropagationDivision propagation is usually carried out from the Autumn Equinox to Cold Dew. First, dig up the strong-growing peony plants, remove the soil, and let them soften in the sun. Then split them into several parts according to their natural growth trend, each part needing to have some fine roots. Larger plants with more buds can be divided into multiple points. After division, trim the old branches, and if there is only one young bud, it does not need to be pruned.For old branches with 2-3 buds, leave 10 centimeters; for old branches with 5-7 buds, leave 5-7 centimeters. After pruning the branches, the roots also need to be pruned, cutting off the thick and medium-sized roots. Leave the small or fine roots, and if there are any diseased plants, the roots can be soaked in medicine before planting.2. GraftingGrafting can be done in September-October, with a higher survival rate. First, choose the lower part of the peony plant's one-year-old strong branches, 6-10 centimeters long, with strong terminal buds and 2-3 lateral buds. The scions should be used immediately after harvesting, or they must be protected if not used.After selecting the scion, make an oblique cut on the back of the bud at the bottom of the scion, forming a horse ear shape. Then make another oblique cut on the other side of the horse ear shape to form a楔 shape, allowing both sides to contact the xylem and phloem after grafting, which makes it easier to survive.3. Cutting PropagationCutting propagation is a method of propagating new plants using peony branches that easily develop adventitious roots. First, cut the branches for propagation, separate them from the mother plant, and then insert them into the soil or other substrates to root, forming new plants. The cutting branches should be the current year's soil sprouts from the root. Water the beds after inserting the cuttings in one row at a time, making sure to water thoroughly.4. Seeding PropagationSeeding propagation is to breed offspring or select new varieties. Before seeding, disinfect the soil, deeply till it, and apply enough base fertilizer. Then build small ridges 70-80 centimeters wide. Do not plant the seeds too deep, about 3-4 centimeters, cover the soil flat after sowing, and then gently press the soil down and water thoroughly.5.
