Wrap pothos and camellia cuttings in a towel in winter, they'll root in 20 days and fill the pot
Wrap pothos branches in a towel and they'll sprout big white roots in no time!
When taking pothos cuttings in winter, the biggest worry is that they won't root. To help pothos root quickly, we can just wrap a towel around the pothos stems and the problem is solved!
Steps:
1. For pothos cuttings, be sure to choose healthy, vigorous branches that also have aerial roots, as this makes rooting much easier.
2. Trim the pothos branches into small sections of about 5-10cm, then soak them in a carbendazim solution for at least half an hour, and then leave them in a cool, ventilated place to let the wounds dry.
3. Prepare a clean towel and moisten it slightly with water, being careful not to use too much water. Pick up the towel and give it a shake; if no water droplets fly out, that's fine.
4. Place the pothos branches with dried wounds neatly on the towel, then use the towel to wrap the lower ends of the pothos branches.
5. Make a sugar solution by mixing white sugar and clean water at a ratio of 1:9, put it in a spray bottle, and spray it directly onto the towel to encourage the pothos to root as quickly as possible.
6. If your home has heating or air conditioning, the humidity is usually quite low. To maintain humidity, you can also put a plastic bag over the outside of the towel to reduce water evaporation. Normally, spray clean water on the towel once every 2-3 days, and don't let the towel dry out.
7. It takes only about 7-10 days for the pothos wrapped in the towel to grow snowy white roots.
8. Prepare a loose, breathable potting mix. You can make it by combining peat soil, coconut coir, and perlite at a ratio of 2:1:1, then transplant the rooted pothos into it, water thoroughly once, place it in a cool, ventilated spot to recover for 1 week, and then care for it as normal.
Wrap camellia branches in a plastic bag and the roots come gushing out!
It's camellia blooming season right now. If you want more and more camellias at home, then use a plastic bag to take cuttings!
Steps:
1. When you normally prune your camellia, keep the healthier branches you cut off and use them directly for cuttings. If you have quite a few varieties, you can even write the camellia variety name on the leaves.
2. Soak the trimmed branches in a carbendazim solution for 20-40 minutes to sterilize and disinfect them.
3. Prepare the soil needed for camellia cuttings. Before putting the soil into the container, find a plastic bag and lay it at the bottom of the container, then put the cutting soil in.
4. Insert the camellia branches into the soil one by one, then water thoroughly once.
5. Use the plastic bag you prepared earlier to wrap the camellia branches, then place them in a cool, ventilated spot. The plastic bag serves to keep them warm and moist, raising the humidity around the camellia branches so they root as quickly as possible.
6. It takes only about 20-30 days for the camellia cuttings to grow tender white roots.
7. After the camellia cuttings have rooted, transfer them directly into flower pots to continue growing. First place them in a cool, ventilated spot for 1 week to adjust, then put them in a sunny place to continue normal care.
Put a plastic bottle over succulents and they'll root in 10 days!
Every time I take succulent cuttings, I run into a problem: there aren't enough flower pots at home, and there's almost no space left for each batch of cuttings. Well, preparing a plastic bottle perfectly solves this problem!
Steps:
1. Place the succulent leaves you want to propagate in a ventilated spot for 2-3 days to let the wounds dry.
2. Prepare a plastic bottle and poke a few holes in the middle and upper part of the bottle. The holes are best oval-shaped, just big enough to insert the succulent leaves, then poke a small hole in the bottom of the bottle so you can add water to it.
3. Place the plastic bottle in a cool, ventilated spot. If you find the water in the bottle is gone, add more, keeping the air humidity inside the bottle so the succulent leaves root and sprout quickly.
4. After the succulent leaves have rooted and sprouted, take them out of the plastic bottle, being careful not to damage the roots. If they're hard to remove, just cut the plastic bottle open, or cut open the upper part of the bottle, or stick the succulent leaves in place with tape.
5. Prepare a loose, breathable potting mix. You can make it by combining peat soil, perlite, and vermiculite at a ratio of 1:1:1, then pot up the rooted succulents directly. Don't water for 1-2 weeks after potting; after 2 weeks, just care for them as normal!
