Cuttings never root? Soak them in water, and in 7 days they grow a mass of white roots

1. Soaking willow branches in water works even better than rooting powder

Willow extract: willow liquid is an excellent plant growth agent; its liquid is rich in growth hormones, and using it as a growth agent neither harms the plant nor slows rooting.

Specific method: take some willow branches and leaves, smash the branches with a hammer, then soak them in water. After one day, remove the branches and leaves, and the water is the willow extract. The next day, soak the cuttings in it for about 1 day (a longer time does no harm, as willow liquid contains components that inhibit bacterial growth), then root them as usual. Roots develop quickly and in large numbers, and the plants grow vigorously.

2. Aspirin water! Roots grow fast and do not rot

Aspirin solution: soaking cuttings in a 0.01% aspirin solution can noticeably increase the germination rate, and soaking transplanted seedlings in a 0.05% aspirin solution can shorten the recovery period, prevent the seedlings from drying out, and raise the survival rate.

For lucky bamboo that has not rooted, put a piece of aspirin in the water; after it dissolves, the salicylic acid in it can promote root development in lucky bamboo and make it root quickly.

Or put half a tablet of aspirin in water to dissolve, place the cuttings in it, soak for half an hour, and then root them; this way, the survival rate of the cuttings will be greatly increased

3. Rice vinegar water solution

Choose higher-quality rice vinegar and mix it with cool boiled water at a ratio of 1:100 to make a rice vinegar water solution, suitable for soaking cuttings of fruit trees such as grapes. When using, place the lower part of the cuttings in the solution and soak for 8-12 hours, then take them out and root them; this can significantly increase the survival rate and make the rooted cuttings grow faster and stronger.

4. Give flowers a bit of vitamin B12 to make them root quickly

Vitamin B12 solution: take medical vitamin B12 injection and dilute it with 1 part cool boiled water, place the lower cut end of the cuttings in the diluted solution and soak for 5 minutes before rooting. It can both promote root growth and promote tissue healing.

5. Dip cuttings in a little sugar water, and white roots appear in the blink of an eye

Put white sugar into 20 times its amount of warm water to dissolve, then let it cool, soak the cuttings in the sugar water for 5 minutes, then rinse with clean water and root them. Sugar water has the effect of promoting rooting, and flowers that root relatively slowly, such as camellias and jasmine, can all use this method!
