4 kinds of flowers that root when you snap off a branch and stick it in water, rooting in just a few days, and are almost impossible to kill

Many gardening enthusiasts like to try all kinds of cuttings, but the failure rate is often quite high. So if you are trying cuttings for the first time, I recommend choosing some plants that can be propagated by rooting in water, such as the 6 kinds shared with you today. They basically survive as soon as they are put in water. Let's take a look.

Gardenia

This is the flower that blooms best in this season. What should you do after the flowering period? Just cut a few post-bloom branches and root them yourself, and you can get many new gardenia plants. The water-rooting method is also especially simple.

1. Choose a robust post-bloom branch and cut it to about 10 cm long, keep the leaves at the top, soak it in carbendazim solution for about 1 hour, then put it in a cool, ventilated place to dry the cut end.

2. Prepare a thin foam board and poke small holes in it in advance with a tool.

3. Cut a mineral water bottle open from the middle but do not cut it completely apart; leave a little connecting the bottle

4. Put the foam board into the mineral water bottle and insert the gardenia branch into the foam board

5. Add water to the bottle until it covers the base of the branch, then seal the top and bottom of the mineral water bottle with a plastic bag and place it in a ventilated spot with bright, indirect light. In about 10 days the gardenia will root.

Rubber plant

The rubber plant has a very strong ability to absorb dust. Keeping one at home can make the air fresher. If you like it, you can also try rooting rubber plant cuttings; it also roots fairly easily.

1. Select a robust rubber plant branch, cut it to 10 cm long, and soak it in carbendazim solution until the cut end no longer exudes white sap

2. Choose a suitable glass container, add clean water, then directly insert the rubber plant stem with the leaves near the base into the water bottle and place it in bright, indirect light. In about half a month the rubber plant will root

Pothos

Pothos is a must-have for the home. Keeping it indoors to absorb formaldehyde and purify the air works perfectly. It is cheap, and cuttings survive even more easily.

1. Select a vigorously growing pothos vine with aerial roots and cut a length of about 20 cm, then remove the lower leaves

2. Put it directly into a clean hydroponic bottle and place it in the sun; it will root in half a month

Chinese rose

When rooting Chinese roses, most gardening enthusiasts may choose the more popular online version 2.0, the vermiculite rooting method. In fact, the water-rooting method also applies to Chinese roses. Compared with other rooting methods, I personally think water rooting is more hassle-free.

1. Choose a robust post-bloom branch, cut it to about 10 cm long, and it is best to keep the leaves at the top

2. Soak the branch in carbendazim solution for 2 hours, then take it out and dry the surface moisture in a ventilated place

3. Just like with the gardenia, prepare a foam board, poke holes, and pass the Chinese rose branch through

4. Put the foam board on a water-filled container and let it float on the surface. In about half a month you will find that the Chinese rose has begun to root

Besides the four above, jasmine, which is also fairly common in this season, is likewise suitable for water rooting. Gardening enthusiasts who are interested can give it a try. No matter which one you choose, try to select robust post-bloom branches, as they survive more easily
