Cut a summer branch into 8 segments for cuttings, roots in 3 days, and a full pot in one month
Cut a pothos branch into 8 segments, and a big pot will sprout in no time!
Pothos is a plant almost every household grows, not to mention that summer's high temperatures are exactly when pothos shoots up. At this time, cut a branch and it will immediately root and survive as a cutting!
Steps:
1. Using a sterilized knife, cut a vigorously growing branch from the mother pothos plant, then use the knife to cut the branch into small segments. Make sure each small segment has a node with aerial roots.
2. Prepare perlite, coconut coir, or loose, breathable soil as the potting medium for the cuttings. At the same time, place the pothos cuttings in a well-ventilated spot to let the wounds dry.
3. If you want the pothos cuttings to fill a pot as quickly as possible, lay the pothos branches horizontally on the soil, water thoroughly once, place them in a well-ventilated spot with good scattered light, and use a spray bottle to mist the surface of the pot to ensure enough humidity.
4. If you want the pothos cuttings to climb and become a curtain as quickly as possible, insert the pothos vertically into the potting soil so the aerial roots are buried in the soil, then water thoroughly once, and likewise place it in a cool, ventilated spot.
5. It takes only about 10 days for the pothos cuttings to root! After rooting, small green leaves will also sprout.
6. Summer weather is hot, so you can mist the pothos leaves and around the pot. You can also mix a little compound fertilizer or foliar fertilizer into the water, which will make the pothos leaves grow more glossy!
Cut a jasmine branch into 8 segments, and big white roots sprout in 10 days!
Right now is the peak blooming period for jasmine, and some flower lovers' jasmine has already finished blooming. For those branches that have finished flowering, we can absolutely cut them off and use them for cuttings, and then we can get more pots of jasmine!
How to do it?
1. For the cuttings, it is best to choose semi-lignified branches, because semi-lignified jasmine branches contain more nutrients and have a higher rooting and survival rate. Using a sterilized knife, cut the jasmine branches into short small segments, making sure each small segment keeps 1-2 leaves.
2. Prepare the soil needed for cuttings; generally, loose and breathable potting soil is fine. Today Huahua chose perlite. Use chopsticks to poke a few small holes in the perlite in the pot so the jasmine branches can be placed in.
3. Insert the trimmed jasmine branches into the perlite, press down slightly, then water thoroughly once, and place in a spot with plenty of scattered light and very good ventilation for care.
4. Summer temperatures are high, so it takes only about 2 weeks to root!
5. After rooting, the jasmine branches can be directly transplanted into a pot to continue growing. First place them in a ventilated spot to acclimate for 1-2 weeks, then move them outdoors or to a south-facing balcony for direct sun. Water 1-2 times a day, and the jasmine will grow more and more vigorously!
Cut a kalanchoe branch into 8 segments, and it immediately becomes 10 pots!
In summer, kalanchoe often suffers from black rot, and if you are not careful it may die completely. To avoid all your kalanchoe dying, we can cut branches and use them to propagate small plants, just in case!
How to do it?
1. Take the trimmed kalanchoe branches and trim them a few more times with sterilized scissors. Keep at least 2 pairs of leaves on each branch, then let the wounds dry in a well-ventilated spot. You can also soak them in carbendazim solution for 2 hours to disinfect.
2. Prepare loose and breathable potting soil; you can also use pure sand for cuttings, and rooting is quite fast too. Use a wooden stick to make a hole in the sand, then insert the kalanchoe branch with dried wounds into it.
3. Insert all the kalanchoe branches into the pot, water thoroughly once, then place in an indoor spot with good scattered light, and remember to ventilate frequently. Usually remember to mist the leaves and the soil surface to keep them moist.
4. It takes only about 1 week for the kalanchoe cuttings to sprout roots! After that, transplant the kalanchoe into a pot, making sure it receives 4 hours of direct light each day, and soon it will grow into a big, lush green pot!
Cut a hydrangea branch into 8 segments, and next year it will bloom into big balls!
Many flower lovers' hydrangeas have finished blooming now. If you do not prune them now, they probably will not bloom next year! For those branches cut off during pruning, we can directly use them for cuttings!
How to do it?
1. The cut hydrangea branches need to be trimmed a little. Keep at least 1-2 leaves on each branch segment. To reduce unnecessary nutrient consumption, you can use scissors to cut the leaves in half.
2. Prepare the soil needed for cuttings. Since summer temperatures are high, you can use vermiculite or akadama soil for cuttings. Prepare disposable paper cups, poke 3-5 small holes in the bottom, put vermiculite into the disposable paper cups, then insert the hydrangea branches to be rooted into the cups.
3. To ensure the moisture needed for cuttings, place a tray under the disposable paper cups, add water to the tray, set the disposable paper cups in the tray, and finally place it in a cool, ventilated spot. Absolutely do not expose it to direct sun.
4. It takes only about 20 days to see the hydrangea cuttings grow dense roots!
5. After rooting, transfer the hydrangea into a pot, then place it in a cool, ventilated spot. It can be kept outdoors under tree shade. Summer weather is hot, so water once in the morning and once in the evening to ensure enough air humidity.
Cut a blue plumbago branch into 8 segments, and it will keep you cool all summer!
Summer is so hot, so you should grow a pot of cool, refreshing flowers, and that is blue plumbago! Although blue plumbago grows vigorously, sometimes it becomes wild and sprawling. If you do not prune it now, when are you waiting for?
How to do it?
1. Take the cut blue plumbago branches and trim them a little more. Each branch segment should be about 5-7 cm long.
2. Prepare loose and breathable potting soil and put it in a seedling tray. After watering thoroughly once, insert the blue plumbago branches directly into it, and place in an indoor spot with bright scattered light and good ventilation.
3. Summer weather is hot, so it takes only about half a month for the blue plumbago cuttings to basically root!
4. After rooting, transplant the blue plumbago into a pot. First let it acclimate for 1-2 weeks in a ventilated spot without direct sun, then place it in the sun to get more sunlight. Water 1-2 times a day depending on the weather, and soon the blue plumbago will grow more and more vigorously!
Cut an osmanthus branch into 8 segments, and it will keep you cool all summer!
Summer humidity is high, which is exactly the good time to take osmanthus cuttings. When you normally prune osmanthus, the cut branches can be directly used for cuttings. Everyone, do not miss out!
How to do it?
1. Take the trimmed osmanthus branches and cut them a little with scissors, making sure each branch keeps 2-3 pairs of leaves, then place them in a well-ventilated indoor spot to let the wounds dry.
2. If you want a high survival rate for osmanthus cuttings, you can choose pure perlite for rooting. Insert the trimmed branches into the prepared perlite. To ensure humidity, you can place the pot inside a larger pot and cover it with plastic film.
3. Regularly mist water onto the osmanthus leaves to ensure enough air humidity. It takes only about 20-30 days to see the osmanthus cuttings root.
4. After rooting, pot the osmanthus. First let it acclimate in a cool place for about 1 week, then give it more sunlight. By autumn, you will have a pot of blooming osmanthus!
Cut an azalea branch into 8 segments, and it will keep you cool all summer!
Recently, many flower lovers have been telling Huahua that their azaleas are dropping leaves for no reason and are about to die! Before the azaleas die, we might as well quickly take a few pots of cuttings and keep a few small plants as backup!
How to do it?
1. Cut the lower end of the azalea branch at a 45-degree angle, keep 6 leaves, then soak in rooting water for 24 hours. Take it out and let the wound dry in a cool, ventilated spot.
2. Prepare loose and breathable soil, insert the azalea branches into the soil, and water thoroughly once. To ensure the humidity for the azaleas, you can cover the opening with plastic wrap, poke 3-5 small holes, and place it in a cool, ventilated spot.
3. It takes only about 20 days for the azalea cuttings to root!
4. After rooting, transplant the branches into a pot to continue growing. Be careful to maintain humidity, mist the leaves and around the pot in the morning and evening, and the azaleas will grow more and more vigorously!
That is all Huahua is introducing today!
