These 4 flowers must be propagated by cuttings in summer: they root fast, easily survive, and grow quickly, easily "filling" the pot!

1. Azalea

Azalea is a famous flower of China, worthy of being called the queen of flowers, with many flower colors and a charming shape. The high-temperature, high-humidity environment of summer is suitable for azalea cuttings to take root.

1. Choose healthy, thick branches. The leaves at the bottom can be removed. Each branch should be about 5 cm long, and it is enough to keep a few leaves.

2. For the soil, coal ash, turf ash and fine sand can be mixed and used to propagate azalea cuttings. Before inserting the cuttings, moisten the soil first.

3. You can cover it with a layer of film, but several small holes must be poked in the film for ventilation. Place it in a cool, ventilated place. Spray it with water every day to keep the soil moist. Generally, it will take root after two weeks.

2. Jasmine

1. Prepare mature jasmine branches; the branches are best over one year old.

2. Prune the branches, remove the leaves at the bottom, and cut off part of the leaves to reduce water evaporation.

3. Insert the jasmine branches into sterilized river sand.

4. Water, and stop only when water flows out from the drainage holes at the bottom.

5. Place the flowerpot in a bright, ventilated place indoors, avoiding direct sunlight. After about 2 weeks, it can take root.

3. Night-blooming cereus (Epiphyllum)

Epiphyllum grows quickly in summer, which is also its flowering period, making it very suitable for cuttings.

1. First find a few healthy, thick leaves on the mother plant, cut them off with sterilized scissors to a length of 8-10 cm, and make the wounds neat. Place them in a cool, ventilated place to dry until a film forms naturally.

2. Prepare the base soil for cuttings. You can use garden soil and perlite mixed at 1:1, then pour it into the cutting bottle. Insert the dried leaves at a 45-degree angle or straight into the soil, controlling the depth to one third, then water once and place in a bright, cool place.

3. Keep it appropriately moist, and often spray some water on the leaves. It can take root in about half a month, and after about one month it can be transplanted.

4. Milan (Aglaia odorata)

Summer is exactly the good season for propagating Aglaia odorata cuttings; it is simple and easy to keep alive.

1. The cutting medium commonly used is peat soil, or it can be made by mixing river sand and leaf mold. Try to avoid plastic pots.

2. Cut off about 10 cm of the top tender shoots of Aglaia odorata that are robust and free of pests and diseases, and insert them into the prepared growing medium.

3. Place in a cool place, spray water every day, and keep it moist. It will take root after about 2 months. Then move it to a place with relatively sufficient sunlight for normal care, and after about 1 month it can be potted.
