The Propagation method of Peony Cactus (grafting) how does Peony survive the Winter

Peony is a kind of plant that blossoms easily and is deeply loved by flower friends. As a plant of cactus family, peony has more tenacious vitality than other varieties, so it is not difficult to feed it. Most of the propagation methods of general plants are grafting. Is it the same with peonies? Let's take a look at how the peony is propagated.

The Propagation method of Peony Cactus (grafting)

1. Preparation for grafting

Choose the rootstock to be grafted with peony. The sphere of tree peony lacks chlorophyll and can not carry out photosynthesis and produce nutrients, so we can choose the method of grafting and rely on rootstocks to provide nutrition.

It is generally necessary to choose rootstocks for more than one year when grafting tree peonies with well-developed and sturdy roots. The commonly used rootstocks are Tianyi, three-angled arrows, keels and other plants. The tools to be used in grafting. Mainly knives and fixtures. For fixed peonies, you can choose small strings or rubber bands.

2. Grafting process of Paeonia suffruticosa

Select suitable and rootstocks and deal with them. Choose the right place in the rootstock, flatten it with a knife, expose the rootstock and deal with the area around the rootstock. The wound should be cleaned up, otherwise it is not easy to survive. Deal with the peony to be grafted.

When dealing with the peony, it should be noted that it is necessary to decide how much to cut according to the size of the peony, generally no more than 1/2 of the sphere.

3. Grafted and fixed peony

Aim the center of the cut on the peony at the center of the rootstock and press it with your fingers for about a minute to make the rootstock fit. Then fix it with thin thread or rubber band, and pay attention to the degree of tightness when fixing, so as to avoid the gap between the scion and the rootstock. Too loose or too tight will affect its survival.

4. Waiting to survive

About 15 days after grafting, the grafted sphere was still fresh, indicating that the grafted peony had been grafted. If the interface is cracked or blackened, it means that the grafting has failed and can be regrafted at this time.

Matters needing attention in the grafting of tree peony

1. The grafting of peony can be carried out in the greenhouse all the year round, but the success rate is the highest at the end of spring and the beginning of summer.

2. After grafting, put the peony in the semi-shaded place, suspend watering, let alone spray water on the sphere.

3. When grafting, we should pay attention to fixing the grafted peony, so as not to affect its survival.

How does the peony survive the winter?

1. Temperature conditions

The tree peony is suitable for growing in a warmer environment and has poor cold resistance. Therefore, it is necessary to move it into a warm and comfortable room before cooling down during the winter, so as to avoid frostbite caused by too low temperature, or even threaten its survival. In addition, the temperature had better be kept above 8 degrees Celsius, with 10 degrees Celsius as the best curing temperature.

2. Lighting conditions

Peony needs enough light in winter to ensure its growth, so it should be placed on the windowsill or balcony where the sun can shine, so that it can receive enough light to avoid poor growth due to lack of light.

3. Water and fertilizer conditions

The tree peony has strong drought tolerance and is suitable to grow in a relatively dry environment, so it is more necessary to strictly control the water during the winter, watering less or not watering as much as possible, in order to keep the basin soil dry, avoid damage to its roots, and it is difficult to pass the winter smoothly. Moreover, the lower the temperature is, the drier the basin soil is. At the same time, it should be noted that the peony does not need to be fertilized during the winter.

Water Management of Paeonia suffruticosa

1. Spring: the exuberant growth period of peony, during which the soil should be kept moist and generally watered every 2-3 days.

2, summer: when the temperature is not high, the peony will not dormancy, at this time there is no need to stop water, normal watering can be done. If the temperature is too high and the sun is strong, the peony will go dormant, so watering should be controlled at this time, but it can be sprayed properly.

3. Autumn: it is also the growing period of peony, watering in autumn should be combined with fertilization, and the soil should be kept moist.

4, winter: to control moisture, basin soil to dry, generally within a month can be watered once, the water temperature can not be too low, watering the soil can be soaked.

Fertilization Management of Mudan Tree Peony

1. The peony likes to be fat and does not choose it. Fertilizing during the growing period can be applied with compound fertilizer, pay attention to thin application of fertilizer, once a month, it is best to apply solid fertilizer during cultivation.

2. The peony should stop fertilizing in the middle of summer and severe winter, otherwise it may damage the root system and cause the peony to rot, making it impossible to pass the winter and summer safely.
