Blue demon, the most commonly used method of sowing and propagation of peonies, advises you not to know it after watching it.

27. Peony is the most commonly used method of sowing and breeding. Blue demon advises you not to use it. You'll know after watching it!

This is an excerpt from the original column "Peony Culture" written by the Blue Devil.

Recently, many flower friends have asked the blue demon, how to sow peonies? We can also find that many peony seeds are sold online, compared with peony seedlings, buying seeds and sowing is naturally the most affordable, and many peony nurseries are also propagated by sowing, but the blue demon does not recommend you to buy seeds to plant.

Applicability of sowing and propagation of tree peony

Peony sowing is mostly used in oil peony propagation, sowing propagation is relatively large in one-time emergence, which is suitable for mass breeding of seedlings.

Advantages and disadvantages of sowing and propagation of peony

Although the breeding speed of peony seed is fast, as an ornamental peony, it is easy to return to atavism by sowing.

Not only is it easy to return to ancestry, but it also takes a long time to raise it to blossom, at least four or five years. If it is family farming and management is not in place, then the time required will be longer.

Operation methods of sowing and propagation of tree peony

Peony seeds should sprout before they are sown. Soak the seeds in warm water of 50 ℃ for 1-2 days, let the planting absorb enough water and soften the epidermis, which can speed up the germination of the seeds.

Before sowing, the germination rate of the seeds can be increased by mixing the germinated seeds with plant ash.

Sow the peony seeds into the soil, cover the soil with about 2cm, and then cover it with plastic film to keep warm and moist.

The germination time of peony seeds is about 1 month. One month later, the seeds of peony will grow into radicles, but will not emerge. The seeds will not emerge until February of the following year, and the young leaves will gradually unfold in March.

Therefore, the time from sowing to emergence of peony seeds is still quite long, which is one of the reasons why blue demons do not recommend sowing and breeding.

If you sow peony seeds and have grown seedlings, then the blue demon suggests that you do grafting again. If you do not graft, the peony seedlings will often atavistic, and the flowering time will be much later. For specific grafting methods, please continue to pay attention to tomorrow's update.
