Hydrangeas and bougainvilleas: good varieties are expensive, so let me teach you how to propagate them from cuttings. One branch can produce dozens of pots.

When it comes to potted plants that bloom abundantly, everyone is sure to love these few kinds: hydrangeas, geraniums, and bougainvilleas. These flowers are all stunningly beautiful when they bloom, aren't they? They burst into big flower balls, come in diverse colors, and have long blooming periods, so everyone is sure to love them. But some varieties are very expensive to buy. Actually, they are also very easy to root from cuttings. We can cut a segment of a branch and propagate it ourselves. That way, we can also have a garden full of blooms without spending money.

There are many varieties of hydrangeas, and hydrangeas bloom with very large, very full flowers in many colors. Different soil pH can even change their color. When they bloom, they are lush and vigorous, with one full, plump flower ball after another, deeply loved by flower enthusiasts.

For hydrangeas, take the branches that have finished blooming and use them for cuttings.

Cuttings from branches like these root very easily. Cut off a branch that has finished blooming.

Everyone can see this flower ball is very big. Isn't it a bit of a pity to cut it off? But it is worth it if we can get a hydrangea plant from it.

Then, take these branches and keep a pair of leaves on each.

Insert them into this soil. The soil used here is leaf mold, large-grained river sand, and garden soil mixed in a 4:2:1 ratio.

After about one month, they will take root. Hydrangeas propagated from cuttings that same year will not bloom; they will only bloom the following year.

Geraniums come in diverse colors and bloom abundantly, and they easily fill a pot and bloom into flower balls. They can also be propagated from cuttings. When taking cuttings, we can also use this kind of leaf mold, large-grained river sand, and garden soil. This kind of soil is loose and breathable. Take the branches you pinch off from the geranium,

and you can use them for cuttings. Pinch off the flower buds, then insert them into the prepared soil, water thoroughly, and place them in a spot with bright indirect light and good ventilation. They will take root in about twenty days and will bloom that same year.

When bougainvilleas bloom, they are like a blooming machine. When they flower, you cannot even see the leaves, which is why they are also called paper flowers.

Bougainvilleas also root fairly quickly from cuttings. Choose a semi-woody branch and cut it off. Then you can use river sand or vermiculite for the cutting. Water thoroughly and place it in a spot with bright indirect light and good ventilation. In about one month, it will take root, and then you can transplant it into nutrient soil.

These three kinds of flowers do not need to be bought; you can propagate them yourself from cuttings, and it is very rewarding. Friends who like growing flowers can give it a try.

Please help forward and support this. Buyan thanks everyone here!
