You can propagate your indoor potted plants yourself by cuttings, and one pot instantly becomes many pots. But cuttings don't root easily and the survival rate is low. No worries - just use these 3 things from your home to make rooting water, soak the cuttings in it, and the survival rate will be greatly improved, with fast rooting.

1. Rice vinegar water

Edible rice vinegar is very easy to find at home. Mix it with water at a vinegar-to-water ratio of about 1:100. This rice vinegar water is more suitable for fruit tree saplings, etc. Generally, soak the cuttings in the rice vinegar water for half a day, then wash them clean, let them dry, and plant them. This can effectively improve the survival rate.

2. Garlic juice

Peel garlic cloves and mash them into juice, then mix the juice with water at a ratio of 1:10, then soak the cuttings or leaves for half an hour to 1 hour. Take them out, let them dry, and they are ready for planting. Cuttings soaked in garlic juice not only root quickly but also have a sterilising effect.

3. White sugar water

White sugar does not dissolve easily in cold water, so first dissolve the white sugar in hot water. The ratio of white sugar to water is about 1:10. After the sugar water cools, soak the base of the cuttings in the sugar water. After 1 hour, take them out, wash them clean, let them dry, and they are ready for planting. They will root very easily, greatly improving the rooting rate.

These 3 things are all very easy to find. When propagating flowers at home, flower lovers might as well give them a try. The method is also very simple.
