Peony's propagation methods are very diverse, we can use the methods of branching, grafting, sowing, cutting to propagate, among which cutting is the more commonly used way.
Cutting is a kind of asexual propagation. In general, it is best to carry out cutting peony in the first ten days of October. When we use cutting method to propagate peony, we should first select a healthy and prosperous peony plant, cut a branch, and then cultivate the branch into the sand soil. The part buried in the soil should be slightly less than half of the whole plant. After planting, we should immediately water it, and then cover it with a film, and do a good job of shade. Spray water once every eight days, stop spraying water in winter, and don't need to work in shade, and transplant it in the next autumn
We should choose the local sprouts that grow in that year for the cuttings. The root of peony belongs to the fleshy root, which is more suitable for growing in a relatively dry environment, and should not be over watered. Too wet environment will make the fleshy root of peony fester. Therefore, we should choose loose sandy soil with good drainage, and plant the branches in an environment with good sunshine and ventilation conditions. After the cuttings are planted in the soil, they must be watered immediately, and the water must be watered thoroughly, which is conducive to the rooting of the branches.
