There are many kinds of propagation methods of peony, in addition to sowing propagation, cutting propagation and other common propagation methods, in fact, we can use grafting method to propagate peony.
When using Paeonia root as rootstock, because the root of Paeonia root is relatively soft and does not have hard heart, it is easier to graft, and the root is thick and short. In this case, the nutrient is more sufficient, the survival rate of grafting will be higher, and the growth will be more vigorous after the grafting is successful. With the peony root, grafting will be more difficult, but the life span of the plant is longer after grafting.
This grafting method is to graft many branches of inferior peony into excellent varieties with different colors. After grafting, we should pay attention to irrigation, but in rainy season, we don't need additional watering, instead, we should do a good job in drainage, keep the temperature suitable for the growth of peony, which can make the survival rate of grafted peony higher
This method is usually carried out from May to July every year. It is better to graft on sunny days. The methods of skin sticking and bud changing can be used. The bud sticking method is to cut a square mouth on the rootstock, then trim the prepared buds to be grafted into the same shape and install them in the cut square mouth, and fasten them with ropes. The method of changing buds is to cut off the axillary buds on the rootstock completely, keep the bud embryo, and then cut off the axillary buds of the branch to be grafted by the same method, quickly cover the gap of the rootstock, and fasten them with ropes. After grafting, we should pay attention to watering, loosening soil, fertilizing and so on, so as to promote the healing of the marriage interface.
