6 kinds of flowers are just right for cuttings now; both leaves and branches take root easily

Autumn began yesterday, which is lovely, and it rained here again today. They say one autumn rain brings one spell of cold, so on these gradually cooler days, what is the best thing to do?

Haha, of course it is taking cuttings. For people who love growing flowers, if you do not take cuttings at this time, you really cannot forgive yourself. Without further ado, get to work right away!

Fellow flower lovers, let us take a look together at which flowers are suitable for cuttings now. Haha, this is also the topic we are sharing today: these 6 kinds of flowers are just "suitable" for "planting" now; leaves and branches both work, and they take root easily!

Get to work!

1. African violet

This is a particularly beautiful small flower. Its leaves are small and dainty, and its flower colors are rich. Most commonly it blooms with small purple flowers, especially fresh and elegant. Its main method of propagation is leaf cuttings. One leaf can produce a whole pot, and it roots quickly and sprouts quickly too. For the growing medium, just use vermiculite and leaf mold. After leaf cuttings take root, they can bloom in 2 months. As long as the temperature is suitable, flower lovers in the north who keep them indoors in winter can have flowers in all four seasons, with a long flowering period and frequent blooming.

2. Moss rose

Moss rose can be said to be one of the easiest small potted flowers to propagate from cuttings. Just pinch off a branch casually, without any treatment, and stick it into a pot. As long as the potting soil is kept moist, it will quickly take root and sprout. In winter, keep it indoors to overwinter. As long as there is plenty of sunlight, it can still bloom the same way. If you can get it through winter safely and shape it well, it can even be grown into an old stump form, which is especially beautiful too.

3. Geranium

Geranium cuttings are also just right now, and they take root especially easily. Both leaf cuttings and stem cuttings work. Just choose a branch with 3 nodes. Make the cut smooth, cut the oversized leaves in half, soak them in carbendazim, and use vermiculite and leaf mold as the growing medium. After inserting them, put them in a cool, ventilated place. At the current temperature, they can take root and send out new shoots in about 30 days.

4. Snake plant

Snake plant leaf cuttings root relatively slowly, but it is the fastest method of snake plant propagation. Cut off one snake plant leaf, cut it into pieces, then insert them directly into potting soil mixed with river sand and leaf mold. Put it in a cool, ventilated place. During the rooting period, keep the potting soil moist. At the current temperature, they can take root in about 2 months.

5. Golden pothos

For golden pothos, this time is truly just right for cuttings, and it is also the easiest time for them to survive. Casually cut off a section of vine and cut it into segments. Each segment should keep one aerial root. Lay them flat on soil mixed with vermiculite and leaf mold, then cover them with a thin layer of soil, spray with water, and put them in a cool, ventilated place. Remember to mist them often. At the current temperature, they can take root and grow new shoots in about 15 days.

6. Azalea

Azalea can be said to be the southern flower most suitable for cuttings now. The temperature is suitable at this time, and the weather will get cooler and cooler. Planting now gives the highest survival rate. We only need to take strong branches of the current year, preferably 6-10 cm, with a slanted cut. After soaking them in rooting water for more than 10 hours, insert them into sandy soil and keep the potting soil moist. They can take root in about 25 days.

Fellow flower lovers, have you learned it?

If you have learned it, get to work quickly. In fact, there are many more flowers suitable for cuttings now, not just the 6 kinds shared here. For example, orchid tree, gardenia, jasmine, kalanchoe, rose, Chinese rose, periwinkle, camellia, spider plant... all can be propagated from cuttings now. Flower lovers who like them can get started!

A potted plant you propagate yourself from cuttings is absolutely more meaningful than one you buy, and watching it grow day by day, that sense of achievement is really wonderful. Only those who grow them know. However, if you find it troublesome, you can also buy a pot of the one you like.
