With these 6 kinds of flower pots, it would be a pity to throw away the pruned branches. Use them for cuttings and you can propagate many pots at once.
Bougainvillea
Bougainvillea has strong vitality, strong adaptability to the environment, and grows quickly. When caring for bougainvillea, be sure to prune it. This prevents the branches from growing leggy, increases light penetration, makes the plant shape more attractive, and also promotes the sprouting of new buds and encourages more blooms.
The pruned bougainvillea branches can absolutely be used for cutting propagation. Cut the bougainvillea branches into sections about 10 cm long, keep 2 to 3 leaves at the top, and insert them into sandy soil or vermiculite. They will root in about 7 to 10 days, with an extremely high survival rate.
Rose
In the process of caring for roses, pruning is also unavoidable. Rose branches also grow relatively quickly, so leggy growth must be avoided, and some poorly growing branches should be cut off in time, or some parallel branches, inward-facing branches, overlapping branches, and so on. Only by cutting off these useless branches can rose growth be better promoted and the occurrence of pests and diseases reduced.
The good branches that are cut off can also be used for cuttings. Using vermiculite for cuttings, the survival rate can reach over 90%.
