Growing flowers is not a very difficult thing, and placing a potted green plant indoors adds color to life, makes it more full of charm, and can cultivate a person's carefulness and patience and enrich spare time.

Many friends who love growing flowers also like to propagate some flowers by hand, but because of summer, when the weather is too hot, cutting propagation roots slowly and is prone to black stems, so people inevitably hesitate. To avoid this situation, you can soak them in this thing before rooting, and the roots will grow like crazy and fill the bottle.

Fresh willow branches, soaked in clean water overnight and then filtered to remove the residue, can be made into a rooting liquid that can replace rooting powder, and the effect is excellent, because after fresh willow branches are soaked in water they can break down into salicylic acid. The function of salicylic acid is to promote rooting and prevent root rot, so before rooting flower cuttings, soaking them in this liquid for ten minutes can increase the rooting speed, shorten the rooting time, and avoid black stems. For example, when propagating gardenia, jasmine, and Chinese rose, you can soak the branches in this rooting liquid in advance, and the effect is first-rate.

Tips for beginners

Lucky bamboo is a flower plant that many people like, with the meaning of turning one's luck around and bringing in wealth. Some flower lovers report that lucky bamboo just bought back roots slowly, so you can soak it in this liquid in advance to speed up rooting and avoid black stems.

Besides willow branch soaking liquid, aspirin solution can also be used to replace rooting powder. Before rooting, soaking in aspirin solution will also have the same effect, reducing black stems and speeding up rooting.
