Taking cuttings in hot weather, one stem per pot, no need to buy seedlings and you can easily propagate hundreds of pots

Take cuttings in hot weather, one stem per pot, 1 pot instantly becomes 100 pots, no matter how "cheap" they are, don't buy them!

As people's living standards improve, more and more people have fallen in love with growing flowers. Placing a pot of flowers at home can cultivate the mind and character, purify the air, and give the family a comfortable and healthy environment. But many gardening friends have also commented that ever since they fell in love with growing flowers, they spend quite a bit more money. So are you the same?

In fact, many flowers don't need to be bought at all. Really, just pinch off a stem, stick it in a pot and it will live.

Today I'm sharing 4 kinds of flowers with you. Now is just the right time to take cuttings. The hotter it gets, the more they love to grow. No matter how "cheap" they are, don't spend money on them. I hope you like it!

1. Jasmine

Summer temperatures are high, but the humidity is also high, which is just right for all kinds of flowers and plants to grow, especially jasmine. This is exactly when jasmine is being pruned, so the pruned branches can be used for cuttings.

For the cutting, choose a new branch from the current year (old branches have a low survival rate), with 4 to 5 nodes and more than two pairs of buds, and a length of 10 cm to 15 cm. The cut should be close to a node: the lower cut about 1 cm below a node, and the upper cut about 1 cm above a node. The upper cut should preferably be made at a slant to prevent water accumulation and rot.

Then insert this branch into prepared soil. Gardening friends are advised to use a loose, well-draining, breathable, slightly acidic sandy soil. After inserting, keep the pot soil moist and place it in a ventilated, shaded spot, preferably outdoors, for a higher survival rate. Do not expose it to the sun before it sprouts. It will sprout and take root in one month.

2. Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe takes root especially easily from cuttings. Cut off a kalanchoe that has grown too tall, then remove some leaves, as shown in the picture, and then let the cut surface dry.

Then mix peat soil and perlite in a 1:1 ratio, and directly insert the cut-off part into it. At first add a little water, just enough for the soil to be slightly moist. Later, water only after the soil has dried out completely. At the current temperature, it can take root in about 30 days.

3. Pothos

Pothos is really especially easy to keep alive. Summer is especially suitable for taking pothos cuttings. Today I'm sharing a particularly easy little method that will quickly fill a pot with pothos.

Cut off a branch, remove all the leaves on it, and then cut it into segments. Note that each segment must have an aerial root, then lay them flat on the surface of the pot with the aerial roots facing down.

It is recommended to use vermiculite, or a soil mixed with sandy soil and perlite.

4. Hydrangea

Cut a robust hydrangea branch that has already flowered, remove the lower leaves, leaving a cutting of about 8-10 cm. Apply a little rooting powder to the bottom of the branch, then place it in a cool, ventilated spot to dry. Insert the hydrangea branch into the soil, then water it thoroughly once, and keep it in a cool, ventilated spot for care. It can take root in about 1 month.

Gardening friends, have you learned it?

In fact, many flowers are suitable for summer cuttings, and they take root quickly and grow vigorously, such as gardenia, Chinese rose, spider plant, camellia, Milan, osmanthus, honeysuckle... It really isn't difficult. Gardening friends who are interested can give it a try. As long as you put your heart into it, growing flowers doesn't have to cost money, and it also cultivates the mind and character. Watching the plants you propagated with your own hands grow day by day, that feeling of joy is truly indescribable.
