How to plant peony flowers

1. Cutting method

Choose a nursery site with higher terrain and good drainage as the cutting bed. After loosening the soil, cover it with 15 cm thick river sand. The river sand should be disinfected with 0.5% potassium permanganate. Vermiculite or perlite can also be used as the cutting medium. Build a 1.5-meter-high sunshade over the bed. According to the experience of Changchun and other places, the best time to get cuttings for propagation is in mid-July. The cuttings are 10 to 15 cm long. With two nodes, leave a few leaves on the upper compound leaf; cut off the lower compound leaf together with the petiole, and quickly treat it with 500×10-1000×10 naphthaleneacetic acid or indoleacetic acid solution before cutting. The cutting depth should be about 5 cm, and the spacing should be such that the leaves do not overlap each other. After planting, water thoroughly and then cover with plastic shed. It has been observed that the rooting effect is best when the substrate temperature is 28-30℃ and the humidity is 50%. If the temperature in the cutting shed is maintained at 20-25℃ and the humidity at 80%-90%, the cuttings will take root and form dormant buds 20-30 days after cutting. After rooting, the amount of spraying and watering should be reduced, and the plastic shed and sunshade should be gradually removed. Cuttings grow slowly and need to be covered with soil on the bed to overwinter, and then moved to the open field for planting in the spring of the following year.

2. Root cutting method

When the peony is divided in autumn, the roots are cut into 5-10 cm root segments and inserted into a deep and leveled trench with a depth of 10-15 cm. Cover with 5-10 cm thick fine soil and water thoroughly.

3. Layering

In spring, the tender buds that have just sprouted out of the soil should be passed through the holes in the pot and introduced into a pot with a diameter of 15 to 20 cm. As they grow, the soil should be gradually filled in and kept moist. They will take root in the summer. Before winter, cut the stems under the pot to form a potted peony.
