1、 Can cutting survive

Peony is difficult to survive by cutting 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 can be indole butyric acid, indole acetic acid or naphthylacetic acid. However, we should also pay attention to the cutting method. If the method is appropriate and pay attention to management after cutting, it can survive

2、 Cutting propagation method

1. Cutting time: cutting should be carried out in summer, probably in June and July. At this time, there is a lot of precipitation, and the climate is more suitable for it, which is conducive to rooting and survival

2. Prepare soil: prepare loose, breathable and well drained soil, preferably neutral, which is more conducive to rooting and convenient for management after planting

3. Select cuttings: cuttings should be free of diseases and insect pests, and should be the branches of the current year. Remove the top bud and leave the side bud in the middle. Then soak it in rooting agent for 5-8 hours, so as to ensure the survival rate

4. Cutting into the soil: prepare the soil and handle the cuttings before cutting into the soil. Pay attention to the insertion depth, which is about one-third of the insertion strip, but not more than half. After planting, it should be watered and covered with film to keep moisture and heat preservation. In this way, it will germinate and take root in about a month
