You don't have to spend money to buy a gardenia - just stick a branch in water and it will root

Gardenia has a rich fragrance and is very beautiful! And propagating it from cuttings is also very simple - one branch, one bottle of water, and next year it will be full of gardenia blooms!

Gardenia has a rich fragrance. Keep a pot of gardenia at home, and when it blooms, the whole house will be filled with its scent, so gardenias are deeply loved by plant lovers!

And gardenias are especially easy to propagate from cuttings. Today Chengcheng will teach you: how do you propagate gardenia from cuttings?

Gardenia cuttings are divided intowater propagation and soil propagationtwo types. Relatively speaking, water propagation is simpler and easier!

As long as the temperature is above 20°C, water propagation will root very easily. For example, in a season like now, gardenia is most suitable for propagating in water!

First,when taking cuttings, prepare a bottle of clean water in advance. If it is tap water, it is best to leave it in the sun for a day before using it!

Second,let's talk about the branches used for cuttings. For gardenia cuttings, do not choose branches that are too tender, but do not choose ones that are too old either. Semi-woody branches are the most suitable. After choosing the branch, remove some of the leaves. If you are propagating in a water bottle, trim off all the leaves below the bottle mouth, and never let the leaves soak in the water!

Third,after choosing the branch, insert it directly into the water, then place it in a well-ventilated spot with bright, indirect light. Change the water every 3-4 days. In a season like now, it will take about 20 days or so to root!

After it roots, gradually let it get sunlight,and wait until the roots are relatively sturdy before transplanting. One thing to remind everyone: when transplanting, be sure to choose loose, breathable soil. Only with loose, breathable soil will it be easier to care for later on!
