Peony is very difficult to survive in the natural environment.When cutting, growth regulators should be used to promote it to take root in a suitable environment and survive.Suitable rooting agents include indolebutyric acid, indoleacetic acid or naphthylacetic acid.However, we should also pay attention to the method of cutting, proper method and attention to management after cutting, so as to survive.
1. Cuttage time: Cuttage should be carried out in summer, probably in June and July, when there is more precipitation, the climate is more suitable for it, which is conducive to rooting and survival.
2, preparation of soil: to prepare loose, breathable, drainage better soil, it is best to be neutral, so that it is more conducive to rooting, cutting management is also very convenient.
3. Selection of cuttings: The cuttings should be free from diseases and insect pests, and should be the branches of the year.Remove the terminal bud and leave the lateral bud in the middle.And then soak in that rooting agent for 5 to 8 hour so as to ensure the survival rate.
4. Cuttage soil: After the soil is prepared and the cuttings are treated, the cuttings can be planted in the soil.Pay attention to the depth of insertion, about one third of the cutting is OK, not more than half.After inserting, we should water thoroughly and cover it with film to keep moist and warm, so that it will germinate and take root in about a month.
