Keep a pot of jasmine in the living room to get rid of odors, and the fragrance drifts all the way to the neighbor's home

A neighbor kept a pot of flowers, and recently it bloomed, and the fragrance even drifted into Huahua's home. I was so envious. I quickly asked the neighbor and cut a few branches, getting ready to propagate them by cuttings. A flower this fragrant makes anyone who smells its scent fall for it!

Jasmine

Growing Guide

The fragrance of jasmine is something those air fresheners cannot imitate. You only need to keep a small pot of jasmine, and after it blooms the whole room will smell wonderfully fragrant

1. Jasmine cuttings

That's right, jasmine can also be propagated by cuttings. Cut 6-12 cm long branches, insert them into moist flower soil, and place them in a cool, ventilated place away from direct sunlight

If the temperature in your home is below 32 degrees, you can try rooting it in water. Cut a plastic bottle, use plastic foam to make a "swimming ring" for the jasmine branch, and roots will probably appear in about a week

2. Jasmine care

Jasmine likes sunlight and fears shade, so it is best to keep it in a place with good light. Pay attention to shading it at noon in summer, and water only after the potting soil dries. Jasmine tolerates pruning; when there are many thin branches, trim them, and with good pruning it can bloom several more times a year

Honeysuckle

Growing Guide

When Huahua was little, there was a honeysuckle plant at home. Every year when it bloomed, the teachers at school would ask us to bring a bunch and put it in the classroom. It smelled so good...

1. Honeysuckle cuttings

Honeysuckle is very easy to propagate by cuttings. It is best to take 1-year-old vigorous branches 12-18 cm long, insert them 4-6 cm deep into the soil, water thoroughly, and place them in a cool place to wait for rooting

Roots probably appear in about 6-8 days. After rooting, do not rush to repot; let it grow for another 1-2 weeks, then plant it together with the soil into a flowerpot

2. Honeysuckle care

It is best to use acidic humus soil mixed with garden soil, and grow it outdoors or on a balcony. Honeysuckle is relatively drought-tolerant; generally water only after the soil dries. With frequent pruning and proper water control, it quickly develops into an old stump like a small tree

Gardenia

Growing Guide

Nowadays there are so many perfumes to choose from that it is hard to pick, which is really convenient. In the past there was no such thing as perfume. Every season when gardenias bloomed, women would wear a gardenia, treating it as perfume

1. Gardenia cuttings

Cut young, vigorous gardenia branches about 8-15 cm long, insert them into moist sandy soil, and place them in a cool place. They will probably root in about 1-2 weeks; after rooting, wait about another 10 days before repotting them with the soil

2. Gardenia care

Growing gardenias is not exactly easy, either. Be sure to grow them in a ventilated place and replenish nutrients in time. For watering gardenias, you can use fermented rice-washing water, rusty water from soaking iron nails, ferrous sulfate water, and so on, which can reduce yellow leaves and encourage and promote flowering

Variegated Daphne odora

Growing Guide

In the Song Dynasty's "Qing Yi Lu," Daphne odora was called a wonder of the four directions and an auspicious flower among flowers. Because of its rich fragrance, it was also called "sleeping fragrance"

1. Variegated Daphne odora cuttings

Variegated Daphne odora can also be propagated by cuttings. Cut 8-15 cm long branch tips, insert them into sandy soil or gravel, and place them in a ventilated place, taking care to shade them. Daphne odora may root relatively slowly, probably taking about 15 days~

2. Variegated Daphne odora care

Variegated Daphne odora likes light, but be sure to avoid scorching sun. You can spray water on the leaves every day to keep them clean. As for watering, see whether the potting soil has turned pale and dry, and water only after it dries

Star jasmine

Growing Guide

Star jasmine is also called Chinese star jasmine. It can climb as a vine and blooms abundantly; just a few flowers are already very fragrant. Huahua suggests planting it in front of or behind the house; it is absolutely a great choice for building a flower wall

1. Star jasmine cuttings

Choose vigorous branches with buds at the tips, about 8-15 cm long, insert them into moist flower soil, and place them in a cool place away from direct sunlight. They will probably root in about 1-2 weeks. After rooting, do not move them; after another half month, repot them with the soil

2. Star jasmine care

Star jasmine can be trained on a trellis to climb a wall, or with water control and branch pruning it can grow into an old-stump bonsai. It is not picky about the environment, either, and can be grown in both the north and the south. Give it some light, water, and soil and it can grow into a full pot. In winter it can tolerate minus 10-20 degrees, so it is really tough
