Not good at growing flowers? Try cuttings - these flowers will take root and sprout within a week

If your flowers always end up dying, then give these cuttings a try. Not only are they cheap, but they are also simple. Come and try them! Today we are taking cuttings of Chinese rose.

Chinese rose can be propagated from cuttings in all four seasons. If you take cuttings in autumn, they are easy to manage in winter, so choosing to take cuttings in this season is relatively good. Then they can be potted up the next year and will bloom. We generally take cuttings in September; the survival rate of cuttings taken at this time is relatively high. When taking cuttings, we should choose softwood stems for propagation.

To help the plant take root faster, we sprinkle indolebutyric acid powder on the cut. The selected branches should be robust, with abundant nutrients in the stems. After the leaves expand, of the two compound leaves left, it is best to keep only the two small leaflets at the base, in order to reduce transpiration. For the soil, we should choose one with good drainage and good aeration. The cutting depth is two-thirds of the branch, with two or three buds kept above the soil surface. Water thoroughly, then shade it.

It is best to wrap it with plastic wrap, and open it at night for ventilation and air exchange. The soil should not be too wet; the soil needs to have sufficient air. After half a month, increase the time of sunlight exposure, which is beneficial for rooting. If new buds grow and the old buds have not yet fallen off, it means the cutting was successful and it can be transplanted.
