Which plants are suitable for spring cuttings? Here are several recommendations

Spring is the most suitable season for flower cuttings. Not only is the temperature right, but they are also very easy to keep alive. A few days after cuttings are taken, they can quickly take root and enhance the indoor environment. So which plants are suitable for spring cuttings?

Pothos

Pothos, I think, is the easiest to keep alive among all the plants I have grown. Take a glass bottle, fill it with some water, and leave it there. Within just a few days, the pothos can grow roots, and with a little nutrient water added, it will quickly fill the pot.

Moss rose

Moss rose can be found in many places, especially in rural areas, where it can be seen everywhere. There is no technique at all to taking cuttings of moss rose. You only need to pinch off a branch, insert it into a pot, water it thoroughly, and then leave it alone, and it will quickly take root on its own.

Pennywort

For pennywort, you only need to separate a small piece of stem and place it in water. Give it a little sunlight and it will flourish, take root, and fill the pot.

Geranium

Propagation by cuttings can be carried out in two seasons, but spring cuttings have the highest survival rate.

Spider plant

Spider plant has strong adaptability and a high survival rate, and it is generally very easy to propagate. Simply take a 5-10 cm stolon with new shoots and insert it into the soil,

In about 1 week, roots and shoots will begin to form. After about 20 days, it can be transferred to a pot, watered thoroughly, and placed in a cool place for care.

Peperomia

In April to May, cut off about 5 cm of terminal bud branches as cuttings. Before taking cuttings, let the cut dry to avoid infection and increase the success rate of rooting.

Choose a relatively breathable soil for cuttings. You can use peat : garden soil : perlite = 6:2:2.

Before taking cuttings, lightly mist the cuttings and the medium, then place the potted peperomia in a dark place for care. As long as the medium is not excessively dry, it can take root in about 15 days.

Petunia

Petunia needs no further explanation; growing it to fill a pot is so easy! Of course, when it is blooming, remove spent flowers in time, as this helps increase flower quantity and extend the flowering period.

Gardenia

Gardenia is generally propagated by cuttings and layering. When growing gardenia at home, spring cuttings and autumn cuttings are mostly used. Spring cuttings are carried out in mid-to-late February, and autumn cuttings from late September to late October.

Milan

Cuttings and air layering are commonly used for propagation. Cuttings are generally taken from June to August. First choose a vigorous branch about 10 cm long as the cutting, remove the lower leaves, and keep a few leaves at the upper end.

Christmas cactus

In spring or early summer, choose healthy and plump Christmas cactus stem segments, cut off 1-2 segments, and let them dry for 2-3 days. After the cut has dried slightly, insert them into a sand bed. It should not be too wet. If the temperature is suitable, they will generally take root 2-3 weeks after insertion.

Mint

A fresh little plant of spring, mint grows wild in many rural areas. Pull up a relatively thick rhizome, cut it into pieces about 10 cm long, and make sure each piece has 1-2 nodes. Place it in water and it will do; it does not need much care to take root.

ZZ plant

Cut off a section of ZZ plant leaf axis with 2 leaves as a cutting, insert the cutting into river sand or vermiculite, leaving only the leaves outside the medium, then spray thoroughly with water, provide shade, and maintain an ambient temperature of 25°C-27°C. It can take root in half a month, and in 2-3 months it can grow into a small plant.
