Plant peony in October and wait for the flowers to bloom next year

1. Sow

Now it's the seed harvest season. Huahua collected a lot of seeds a few days ago and is ready to do a big job

The mature peony seeds are black and red. We pull the seeds out of the cracked fruits and sow them immediately after harvest

Soak the seeds in warm water for 12 hours, soak the seeds and promote germination. During this period, remove the seeds floating on the water and with low maturity, so as to increase the germination rate of sowing

Prepare loose and breathable soil, and sow the seeds on the soil surface with the soil covering thickness of 2 ~ 3 times of the seed diameter

The seeds of Paeonia lactiflora can germinate only after a certain low temperature and darkness. Generally, after sowing in autumn, it will only sprout and will not germinate. It will germinate in April of the next year

It takes at least 4-5 years for this kind of peony propagated by sowing to blossom, but new varieties of peony can be cultivated through this propagation method~

2. Ramet

Ramet is our most commonly used breeding method. It is generally carried out from early September to late October every year. Flower friends planted in the ground must pay attention to the time of ramet, neither too early nor too late

After the branches and leaves of the peony dried up on the ground, we cut them off, left about 10cm from the base of the stem, and dug out the root of the peony with tools to prepare for branching

When branching, each clump has 2 ~ 5 buds. Cut along the texture of the root system, apply plant ash on the wound, and put it in a cool place to air before planting

It should be noted that the new plants after ramet propagation can not bloom until every other year, but Huahua brings the solution to this problem

When we separate plants, we can not dig out all the mother plants, but only dig soil on one side and cut some roots and buds, so that the mother plants on the other side can bloom as usual

Peony is divided into plants, and 1 lump becomes 10 lumps

Peony, like peony, propagates separately in autumn. This time should also be the time for all flower fans to plant peony~

When splitting, dig out the whole peony seedling, remove the soil, cut it off along the texture of the root system, keep 3 ~ 5 branches in each cluster, and put them in the shade for 1 day before planting

When planting, pay attention to let the root system stretch naturally in the soil, and then support the seedlings with one hand and fill the soil with the other hand. When the soil is half filled, gently lift the root system upward to prevent root nest

Then continue to fill the soil, compact the soil, pour enough water, wait for next year, you can see big peonies
