Many flower lovers enjoy growing flowers and buy lots of plants home from the flower market, but after caring for them for a while they wither away, which is really heartbreaking. Today, the editor recommends a few flowers that cost nothing and can survive from just a snipped branch, and once they bloom they fill a whole big pot. Come and take a look?

Moss rose

Moss rose blooms in small, adorable little flowers in a riot of colors. Once it blooms, it produces a great many flowers, and it is super easy to grow. Many people plant it directly in their small yards, and it grows well without much care.

Cutting tips:

Snip a few branches from a friend's plant, about 6 cm long is enough.

Prepare some sandy soil and moisten it with a little water.

Insert the moss rose branches into it, place it in a fairly shady spot, keep it sufficiently moist, and in about a week it will have taken root.

Once shoots have grown, it can be transplanted into a pot.

Daily care:

Moss rose has good drought tolerance, so during care it is best not to water it often, and keep the potting soil somewhat dry.

You can apply some organic fertilizer, but dilute it before use, so that the fertilizer is not too strong and burns the roots. Applying fertilizer appropriately can promote the growth of moss rose's branches, leaves and flower buds, and helps encourage blooming.

Moss rose is a very light-loving plant, so the more sunlight the better, and that way it will produce more flowers.

Moss rose produces seeds, so you can plant them again the next year.

Chinese rose

Cutting tips:

Now is just the right time to take cuttings of Chinese rose. Choose some branches with relatively good growth, preferably ones that have not yet sprouted flower buds.

Cut the top of the branch into a flat cut and the bottom into a slanted cut.

Keep two small leaves and trim off all the rest.

It is best to use vermiculite as the growing medium, as this makes rooting easier. After spreading the vermiculite flat, just insert the Chinese rose branch, but do not insert it too deep, about 4 cm is fine.

Care tips:

Place the cuttings of Chinese rose in a shady spot, and you can let them get some sun in the morning and evening.

Just mist them with water about once a week, no watering needed.

Once they have grown enough, they can be put into a flower pot.

Gardenia

When gardenia blooms, its faint fragrance, pure white jade-like flowers and emerald green branches and leaves make it very appealing, so how do you take cuttings?

Cutting tips:

Cut off a relatively tender branch of the gardenia, then trim it into a slanted cut.

You can keep 2 leaves on it.

Find a container, put some clean water in it, and place it in a spot with scattered light.

In about half a month it will take root.

Care tips:

Gardenia likes slightly acidic soil. When mixing the soil, it is best to add some leaf mold, and the soil should also have good air permeability, so appropriately add some peat soil or put some ceramsite or broken tiles at the bottom of the pot.

Gardenia does not need watering too often. You can use a wooden stick to test the dryness and moisture of the soil, and it is better to water once the potting soil has dried out completely.

You can let it get some sun from time to time, but at noon it is best to put it in a shady spot, as the midday sunlight is too strong right now.
