Experiment: 🌱Propagating A Peony Plant From A Cutting🌱

[@Ashley-gt3hn]

Any updates on this plant?

[@mommywithsix]

Yes, I would like to know also.

[@andriewhisson5717]

I don’t think you can propagate peonies this way.

[@deboraheubanksrafferty]

Thanks for your experiment. I looked for a follow-up video, but didn't find one that led me to watch it about this experiment. So, really glad to see update in comments. Thanks.

[@ureasmith3049]

Best way is to cut some of the tuber/roots and replant elsewhere. Leaves, stems or seeds not usually successful with peonies. Treat them like ornamental grass.. Divide every few years and replant.

[@nadrienmarkowski5595]

I have propagated five from the roots and now I have six They are expensive in the stores. So beautiful----pink, garnet and white. I want try creating them from the stem.

[@fia8079]

I've rooted rose plants the same way. I suggest you not place them in the sun at all. I place my rose cuttings in potting soil as you but with rooting hormone and putting it outside in a shaded area. The sun will dry out the leafs too soon. How you know your cutting is doing fine is by lightly tugging on a leaf. I would have gotten the stem wet and rolled it in the rooting hormone and with something put a hole in the soil so when you put cutting in soil you're not disturbing the rooting hormone you added. After placing cutting in hole push dirt against the cutting to cover it all without leaving air pockets. And then water right away and place outside in an area that doesn't get direct sun. Goodluck

[@powerbs3527]

My rose cuttings success under sundirect. In the shed they went black and died. Maybe it's successful because I am in UK and not always sunny

[@StephRenee812]

I have these growing all over my house. I moved some. I just started learning about these. Vine ans poison I have a struggle with growing throughout my one big patch and I should had never let it go this many yrs. I also never knew to cut them down at the end of of yr.

[@autumnevehodge161]

You have to take the cutting all the way down into the root. It has to have a peice of the root on the clipping

[@MichiganGardenGal]

Update: The plant is still “alive” and looking good, but no growth. So I decided to pull it out, and check to see if their was any roots forming. None! ☹️ It was worth a try, but I’m still bummed!

[@nataliecoster6455]

I accidentally broke off part of my dahlia when I was deadheading and I had a start pot with soil close by so I just stuck it in there thinking maybe I could still at least enjoy the existing bloom to flowering etc and it grew roots after several weeks and now I have whole other tuber based plant. I hope it grows great tubers for me to over winter. I think you should try it again with some rooting hormone and indirect light. Maybe even scrape the stem a bit.🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe it needs to be new growth or something. I appreciate this video! I’m going to look for your rose propagation video now!😍

[@JanicaGermaine]

Hi!! Wanted to find out if you are still continuing your experiment and how it is going? I had a beautiful stem get snapped by strong winds and I am hoping I can salvage it since it does have a flower bulb coming out.

[@yes350yes]

Yes peonies are a little different from most plants and I think you would need part of a tuber/rhizome/crown. one thing I always had trouble propagating was roses, tried all the methods shown on youtube but the only one that working for me was running a mister for a couple hours a day right on the cuttings. Last season I got several rose cutting from this method. Just a thought.

[@batyacarbonera5320]

Perhaps using rooting hormone can help on producing the coveted roots!

[@helle4seasons]

Have you tried with rooting hormone?

[@asmrhousemouse3157]

To propagate peony you need to divide the root in the fall. You want at least 3 eyes on each section. Bury shallow, too deep and it won't flower. Will not bloom the first year after division

[@captianfreshest]

I saw the update unfortunately you didn't see roots. Hopefully you decide to try this again. I don't know if you've heard of willow tea , but the bark and new shoots of a willow tree can be an excellent root tonic and help with new growth.

[@MichiganGardenGal]

No I have not heard of that! I definitely plan on trying this again come fall time with cooler temps. I am going to try one with the roots attached, and one without. I’ll be getting that willow tea as well to try out. Thank you!

I know everyone is saying you can’t propagate this way, but I have a cutting from a bouquet I received that I’m going to experiment with, too. If anything, it’s just fun to experiment. 😊

[@SandraSaenz-lb8he]

Well can you let me know since I ve found no update here.

[@Ashleigh.Mayhew]

@@SandraSaenz-lb8heDidn’t work for me (from the bouquet cutting) because you need to propagate peonies with roots already, like cut from the root ball. So likely this didn’t work for the OP either. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@cakikolita]

Hi, i am trying to propagate my big peonies I just wonder if the way you did survive? Thank you !

[@dolcifioricakes]

How is the Peony plant doing?

[@amandawaldner468]

I don’t see an update video! Did it work?

[@kennethstensrud669]

I am sorry Dear, but herbacious paeonies cannot be propagated from stem cuttings, only by division.

[@StephRenee812]

What about doing the peel back a piece add dirt and zip lock then duck tape and after a couple weeks cut the stuff off and hopefully roots. I seen this being done with trees. Make a tree from a tree. I hope o made sense i seem tk struggle when im trying to explain.

[@lorelyncatriz5126]

Any update on this plant? Tried this method with Hydrangeas and it worked.

[@user-et7fv6fz6q]

I hope you have a new or sharper pruner. I got a Felco and barely use it as of yet. Working my cheap amazon ones for now and saving the Felco for more precision and a clean cut

Pruners aren't made to cut leafs.

[@kathybradbury]

Looking for an update on the Peony?

[@kellythompson2267]

Great video! Just what I needed!! Thanks so much!!! 🌻

[@MichiganGardenGal]

🌼Disclaimer🌼 This is an experiment. Online it says to “properly” propagate a peony plant you should dig up part of the root called a tuber. The tuber has eyes on them that the new roots will grow from. I wanted to try it this way that I showed in the video to see if it would even work. So I do plan on doing progress videos! I’ll keep you guys updated. Hopefully it works 🤗💜

[@angelcaspian]

1 year after, any update?

[@MichiganGardenGal]

@@angelcaspian the experiment didn’t work for this cutting! I might try again this year with a root hormone.

[@jacked-666]

I was a shocked that you put your cutting in full sun. Myself I would put it in shade or partial shade. I'm not criticizing you , maybe give that a try. It's great to see the young people getting into gardening 😁

[@edithreardon6042]

@@jacked-666 I would put the pot in a bag too so there is more humidity. So shade, bag and rooting hormone. I'm going to try it after seeing your video.

its works in tree peony's or itoh peony

[@SandraSaenz-lb8he]

I too am wondering. I have a cutting ill just do what you've done and see what will happen. However, please please update us! Thank you!

[@tinaknutsen]

You should’ve put this in a shady location and put a clear vented dome over the plant. Usually dividing the tubers are best with at least 3-5 eyes on each rhizome.

[@lokoers]

Just FYI: Excellently produced video, but the end results of the plant are... it didn't work! (After a thorough review of the comments, including from the video creator.)

[@maryquigley3271]

Great job cutting the leafs in half then the plant uses all its energy in roots as opposed to making the leaves bigger I would’ve put a plastic a water bottle cut in half over the top of the plant, leaving the cap off for a little air and I probably would’ve dipped the stem in some rooting hormone first natural or store-bought

[@mahuamoti9215]

I recently got a peony plant from a local Gardner. Today when I replanted it I noticed that it had thin roots but no tubers at all. Then I realized that such plants will remain green but will never give a bloom. I feel cheated but I don't mind keeping the plant as it is. Hope I had seen this video before. :(

[@pershop4950]

I think it could mean that your peony plant was still too young. Keep it another year or two and it'll create tubers as well as flowers. Once it has many eyes , you can split up the tubers and make different plants out of it, keeping at least three eyes per division.

[@jiminauburn5073]

Maybe it is a tree peony? Tree peonies have the small roots, not the big tubers.

[@tarastacey967]

I'm just trying this, but I've been told to leave it in a cup of water for a while till some roots grow... I'm on day 3 and the end of the cutting is opening up alittle.. 🤞🤞

@@MichiganGardenGal that might be about treepeonies ? ive seen 1 thai video do that with treepeonies, loved the effort though...thnks

[@labecquerelle9873]

I grow tree peonies, itohs and the herbaceous. Years ago I had come across an article that it works with itohs (cross between tree and herbaceous), Claimed it was done in the fall by cutting the stems back, wrapping them up in damp newspaper and put the cutting (wrapped in the newspaper) in a refrigerator. I think putting it in a gallon sized plastic bag would keep it moist. Maybe increase the odds with rooting hormone. One thing that made me think it's possible with itohs is the refrigeration. Tree peonies grow their roots over the winter, so I thought it was credible. I think I'll try this for myself this fall using both a tree peony stem and also itohs. Can't be all bad. At least it motivates me to clean out the fridge to make room for my experiment.

That’s because it doesn’t work. Peonies can be divided and you will need portion with a root and at least two eyes.

Is there an update of this?

[@councildistrict1824]

Oops never mind I seen your comment after. Try doing this again with some rooting hormone. I just did the same thing. I grabbed some cutting from my moms peonies so I’m hoping it will work. I’ve also added it to a spot that gets indirect light and I put a clear water jug over the top to keep humid and I did a clear plastic bag over the other one. It’s been a little over a week and so far so good.

[@tammywilliamson7105]

Did it grow??

[@milerychannel]

Please, make new video with this peony :) did it worked? i hope it is as i love peonies so much!

[@MichiganGardenGal]

I will! So far so good. It’s still alive in the pot so that’s good! 😂 It’s only been a little over a week, but I’ve kept the soil nice and wet, and it’s still remains in a sunny area for 6 plus hours. I will do an update video next month. Hopefully will have some new growth by then.

[@jeremyjjet4909]

If you put them in a glass of water for a week with a little air stone and a tiny little air pump for a fish tank your chances of it growing roots are going to be a lot better

[@ericthompson6531]

How often do you water peony plant and what kind of fertilizers is best? Is fish fertilizer good for peonies and dahlias? I planted my peony tubers last year and they started growing this year.

[@MichiganGardenGal]

Yes! That is a great option for a fertilizer. I use plant tone as well. Both are organic fertilizers. Basically anything that you are putting into the soil to improve it for your plants will definitely be an improvement! 💜

[@kaygee9516]

How often do you water it?

[@morganphillips8609]

Has it started sprouting roots or look like its started growing?

[@MichiganGardenGal]

Unfortunately it did not work! It still looks healthy and happy, but no roots yet. I think it’s only looking good because I’m keeping it watered.

[@kellyclark628]

How do I make my Peony bush produce more flowers?

[@MichiganGardenGal]

Peony’s love sunny spots. So if it isn’t producing a lot then try moving it to a spot that gets 6 plus hours of sun per day. If that is not the issue I would try an organic fertilizer such as plant tone. Love that stuff and good for the plants 🤗💕

[@newmsmark]

Also don’t plant it too deep. The crown should be level with the top of your soil.

It’s spring time here so I would suggest it for you guys as well! This is an experiment I am doing to see if I can propagate from a cutting alone. The proper way to propagate a peony plant is to dig up part of the root, and then put that in soil with the stem and leaves attached. Whichever you want to try!

I'm sure you're now aware, but you can't propagate this way. You need part of the rhizome. So split your bare root (or tuber) and make sure it has at least one "eye" and they'll grow.
