Many flower lovers want to grow a few more precious flowers, but their pockets are tight and they cannot afford to buy that many. What should they do? Today, Huahua will teach everyone how to turn 1 pot of these precious flowers into 10 pots! In no time you will become a flower-growing tycoon!

Clivia


1. After the clivia flowers fade, it will produce seed pods. Wait until the seed pods turn reddish-brown, and the clivia seeds are ripe. At this point, cut off the seed pods and take out the seeds.

2. Soak a clean piece of gauze in warm water, then wrap the clivia seeds in the gauze. After wrapping, place them in a relatively warm place, preferably for 24 hours.

3. Spread sawdust in a seedling tray, spray it with water to moisten it, and place the soaked seeds in the sawdust with the pointed ends facing down.

4. Place the treated seeds in a place with diffused light, and spray water once in the morning and once in the evening every day. After about 20 days, the seeds will sprout small shoots.

5. After the clivia seeds grow one complete small leaf, they can be moved out and planted in a flower pot for care.

6. After a period of care, the clivia has completed its transformation from seed to large seedling!

Orchid


1. 1-2 weeks before division, stop watering the orchid so the orchid roots become soft, to avoid breaking them during division due to too much water.

2. In most cases, orchid roots grow intertwined. Before division, separate the roots little by little, otherwise many roots are likely to be torn off during division.

3. Orchids grow one plant at a time. Find the boundary between each plant and cut along it. To reduce damage to the roots, it is recommended to first separate 3-5 plants as 1 clump, and then divide them into individual plants.

4. After division, use sterilized scissors to cut off all the orchid's dead roots, hollow roots, and weak roots.

5. Soak the trimmed orchid roots in a carbendazim solution to disinfect for about 30 minutes, then take them out and let them dry.

6. While the orchids are being disinfected, prepare a few plastic bottles, cut them in half crosswise, burn a few holes in the bottle body and bottle cap with a red-hot wire, and cut a few triangular notches at the cut edge of the bottle.

7. Place the treated plastic bottles at the bottom of the flower pot and secure them with crushed foam pieces. This can increase the air and water permeability of the soil and prevent orchid root rot. Then put in the prepared growing medium.

8. Place the divided orchids separately into growing pots, and in this way 1 pot of orchids can become several pots!

Clematis


1. Cut off semi-lignified clematis branches. On each branch, make a slanted cut 3-5 cm below the node, and make a cut 0.5-1 cm above the bud point, dividing the branch into multiple small sections.

2. Prepare a clean foam board, and use chopsticks to poke a few holes in the foam board. The diameter should not be too large.

3. Place one clematis branch in each hole in the foam board, then place the foam board in clean water. To promote rooting, an appropriate amount of rooting powder can be added to the water.

4. Place the cuttings of clematis in a cool, ventilated place, making sure the roots are submerged in water. After about 20 days, fine roots will grow!

5. When the root system grows to more than 5 cm, it can be planted out. Put a small amount of soil in the planting pot, arrange the clematis root system well and place it in, then continue filling with soil. A little slow-release fertilizer can be mixed in appropriately.

6. After planting out, water once with water mixed with a carbendazim solution. Then place it in a cool, ventilated place for care. After one week, it can be cared for normally!
