Rooting Tree Peony Branches: Challenges and Tips

Low Success Rate for Water-Held Branches

A branch kept in water is unlikely to root even with hormone. Cuttings need to be fresh, greenwood, 4-6 inches long.

Use a warm, humid environment: place pot in clear plastic bag, mist 3-4 times daily.
Consider grafting as more reliable for tree peonies.
Experiment, but manage expectations.
