August is a great season for growing flowers. Although the weather is still very hot, this is exactly the good time of midsummer. Although many flowers have entered their dormant period, there are still many flowers that are now at their most vigorous. We can carry out cuttings according to the habits of these flowers. For these five kinds, the hotter the weather, the faster they root. Hurry up and take cuttings. One pot this year will become 20 pots next year.
Jasmine
Jasmine is a very common household plant. Its fragrance is very rich, and it is a flower that many people like. Summer is the peak growing season for jasmine. Its growth speed is fastest in summer, and its flowering frequency is also the highest. Moreover, because jasmine grows too vigorously in summer, it needs pruning, and the branches just pruned can be used for cuttings. The method is very simple. We only need some river sand plus some vermiculite, mix them together, water them thoroughly, and then we can directly insert the jasmine branches into it. They will root very quickly, and the hotter the weather, the more favorable it is for their rooting.
Blue snowflake (Plumbago auriculata)
Blue snowflake is a very beautiful flower. Its flowers are sky blue, very lovely, and it is a flower that everyone likes very much in summer. In summer, its vitality is very vigorous and its energy is very good. Like jasmine, it also needs pruning in summer, and the branches just pruned can be used for cuttings. The method is exactly the same as for jasmine. With the same method and the same time, they can all root.
Bougainvillea
Bougainvillea also blooms in summer. Its flower quantity is very large, and its colors are very bright. In order to make bougainvillea bloom, we generally do some pruning, cutting off the branches that have just grown out, so that nutrients are supplied to the old branches, and only then will the flower quantity be larger and more spectacular. In this way, we can take cuttings from the cut branches. Bougainvillea has very low soil requirements for cuttings; sterile loess is enough. If possible, a little rooting powder can be mixed into the loess, and after 20 to 30 days they will be able to root.
Gardenia
Gardenia can be said to be the most common southern flower. This plant relatively likes acidic conditions and a warm, humid environment. In summer, it is also the peak growing season for gardenia, and we also need to prune it. The pruned branches can also be used directly for cuttings. Gardenia cuttings are different from those of other flowers. The branches can be directly soaked in water, with some rooting powder added to the water, and after more than ten days, they will root. Gardenia has very strong vitality, and the rooting rate is also very high, so we do not need to worry at all.
Rubber tree (Ficus elastica)
The rubber tree has thick leaves and is also a plant that very much likes summer. In summer it can receive direct sunlight, so its growth in summer is very vigorous. We can, when it is hottest, cut off a section of branch for cuttings. For the cuttings, ordinary nutrient soil is enough. Keep the soil moist at all times, and it can be prompted to root as quickly as possible.
