Make your own simple rooting water to quickly coax out plenty of plump white roots

When growing flowers, the most important thing is caring for the roots. As long as the roots are well cared for, the flowers will naturally grow vigorously. Whether it is cuttings or rescuing flowers from root rot, fast rooting is especially important. When taking cuttings, you often run into the problem of no roots forming, and rooting powder is not that easy to find. Today I will introduce a few simple and free methods.

1. White sugar water

Dilute white sugar 10 times. Once the sugar water is ready, soak the pre-prepared cuttings in it for about half an hour, then rinse the cut ends clean, put them in a cool place to let the wounds dry, and they are ready for planting. This method is more suitable for roses, azaleas, camellias and so on, with a survival rate of over 90 percent.

2. Rice vinegar

Rice vinegar is also a very common kitchen item at home, and it is also an excellent choice for growing flowers. Soil in the north tends to be alkaline, so if you grow acid-loving flowers, yellowing leaves are likely to appear. When watering your flowers normally, you can add a little rice vinegar to the water, which helps adjust the pH of the soil.

Rice vinegar can also be used to promote rooting when taking cuttings. Dilute the rice vinegar, then soak the cuttings in the diluted rice vinegar solution overnight. Take them out, let them dry, and they are ready for planting.

3. Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is familiar to everyone, and it can provide certain nutrients for flowers. When taking cuttings, soak them in a vitamin B12 solution, and they are ready for planting. After planting is complete, you can also water the flowers with a diluted vitamin B12 solution, which helps promote rooting in the flowers.

Let me first introduce the rooting methods above. Actually, aspirin at home can also help promote rooting in flowers, and you can give it a try when caring for your flowers too.
