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!😍

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.

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.

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

Have you tried with rooting hormone?

1 year after, any update?

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

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 😁

@@Chestickles 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.

@@edithreardon6042 did you try?

Yes, I would like to know also.

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

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

@@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. 🤷🏻‍♀️

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!

@@MichiganGardenGal Yes creates a natural rooting hormone.

Cinnamon powder can also be used as rooting powder

@@MichiganGardenGalI’ve heard that honey is also used as a rooting agent

Well have any of you heard of ROOTING HORMONE ? 😂

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

did it work?

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.

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

Pruners aren't made to cut leafs.

lyonheart84 exotic fruit growing I know that is what I was reading too, but I read a couple of articles saying they were successful. I am hoping this works! If not at least I tried aha

@@MichiganGardenGal I always say there's nothing to lose by trying 🤞🤞

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

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.

I am also wondering if this worked.

Me too!

its works in tree peony's or itoh peony

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!

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! 💜

Haha. But then you've got random genetics.

Plant Mama Tatiana thanks for watching! I am hoping this is successful 🤗💜. I subscribed back to your channel!

@@MichiganGardenGal Aww thanks so much!

Did the plant live?

Eric Thompson I hope so too! The stem and leaves are still green and alive today so that’s a good sign! 😂 All we can do is try. Have a wonderful weekend 💜🤗

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.

Cynthia Spinelli That’s awesome! 🤗💜

Is it the same way she did it?

She’s updated a few times. Just look back through the comments. 😊 Didn’t work, unfortunately.

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.

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 🤗💕

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

Yay I’m so excited!

Hopefully I’ll see you soon 🤗

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!

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.

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.

This is an experiment I am working on right now! 🤗 Make sure when they give you parts of their peony plants they give you not only the stem but has a little bit of roots as well. You only need a little bit of roots to perform well 💜. My cutting is still doing well, and I am excited to see if it works!

She did. Lots of times.

@@ashleighmayhew1017 and what was the conclusion?

@@DMbabeful She said it didn’t work. Lots of other people have commented the same, saying it won’t work with this kind of peony, unless you do it another way. 😊

@@ashleighmayhew1017 thanks

No way really?
