Just dip the cuttings in water and they grow big white roots, this flower is so easy to grow
Throw jasmine branches in water, and big white roots sprout in 10 days!
Jasmine branches pruned after blooming in summer are the most suitable for cuttings, not only do they have a high survival rate, but they also root especially fast.
1. Cut off the flowering branches on top of the jasmine branch, then cut off the aged branches below. As in the picture below, keep only the middle two pairs of buds and one pair of leaves.
2. Take the remaining pair of jasmine leaves and cut off half of them, then soak the lower end of the branch in a rice vinegar solution (rice vinegar:water=1:100) for half a minute, and take it out. Rice vinegar solution is a homemade rooting agent that can promote branch rooting.
3. Find a piece of foam board, poke several small holes, insert the jasmine cuttings one by one into the small holes, making sure the bottom of the cuttings sticks out about 2 cm below the foam board, then put the foam on the water surface, and you're done!
4. Put the jasmine cutting setup in a place with diffused light and good ventilation, change the water often, and it will root in less than half a month.
5. After another 1-2 weeks, the jasmine branch's root system will be quite developed, and at this point you can transplant it!
6. Choose loose, breathable soil, transplant the jasmine into the soil, water thoroughly, and put it in a shady place for 3-5 days, and once the roots are established, put it in a sunny spot with good light.
Throw kalanchoe branches in water, and the roots are thick and dense!
In summer, kalanchoe is especially prone to black rot. To prevent kalanchoe from being completely wiped out, you can cut a few branches for cuttings, not only to keep a variety, but the cuttings will also bloom more~
1. Use clean scissors to cut off healthy kalanchoe branches, and leave them in a cool, ventilated place to dry for half a day.
2. Find a piece of cardboard, use a knife to cut several holes, with a diameter smaller than the kalanchoe branches, just make sure the branches won't fall through.
3. Insert the kalanchoe branches into the holes in the cardboard, and place it at the mouth of a hydroponic bottle filled with water, so that the lower ends of the kalanchoe branches touch the water surface. Wrap a piece of paper around the body of the hydroponic bottle to block the light.
4. Change the water in the hydroponic bottle when it gets dirty, and after about 2-3 weeks, the kalanchoe branches will grow big white roots!
5. Once the roots grow longer than 3 cm, you can transplant it into soil.
Dip gardenia in a bit of aspirin, and it roots twice as fast!
Aspirin is widely used in growing flowers, especially in promoting rooting, it's especially powerful, even better than rooting agent!
1. Cut off robust gardenia branches, and remove the leaves at the bottom of the branches.
2. Prepare one aspirin tablet, crush it, dilute with water 1000 times, mix into a solution, then soak the gardenia branches in it for 2-3 minutes.
3. Prepare 1 plastic bottle and cut it open from the middle, but don't cut it completely through, leave a little bit connected.
4. Find a piece of foam board, cut it into a circle the size of the plastic bottle's diameter, poke several small holes, and insert the lower ends of the gardenia branches into them.
5. Fill the lower half of the plastic bottle with water, then place the foam with the gardenia branches inserted on top, making sure the branches below the foam are submerged in the water.
6. Put the upper half of the plastic bottle back on, and use tape to stick the middle seam together.
7. This way, the gardenia branches stay in a high-humidity state inside the plastic bottle, and they'll root very quickly.
Mint
You must grow a pot of mint in summer, it can be used for tea, for cooking, 1 pot is not enough, why not pinch off a few branches and throw them in water, they'll root in 1 week, grow as many pots as you want!
1. Cut off several sections of mint branches about 10 cm long, making sure the branches are healthy, thick and strong, with no pests or diseases. Make sure the branches have 2-3 nodes on them.
2. Prepare 1 vitamin B12 tablet, crush it into powder, dilute with water 2000 times, to make a solution. Remove the leaves at the lower end of the mint branches, then soak them in the vitamin B12 solution for 3-5 minutes, the vitamin B12 solution can promote branch rooting.
3. Insert the treated mint branches into a hydroponic bottle filled with water, and put it in a cool, ventilated place.
4. Keep changing the water once every 1-2 days, and in less than half a month, the mint will grow roots!
5. After the roots grow longer than 3 cm, you can choose to continue hydroponics, or transplant into soil, no matter how many you plant, basically all will survive.
Throw pennywort in water, and it fills the pot in no time!
Pennywort's ease of growing is simply well known, especially in summer, with plenty of water and plenty of sun, it fills the pot in no time.
1. Pennywort leaves cannot be used for cuttings, what can be used for cuttings is its stolons.
2. Dig out the rhizomes of pennywort, pick off a few sections of its stolons, and when picking, try to bring along the leaves and soil.
3. Prepare a shallow tray, put soil at the bottom, add water on top, forming a half-soil half-water state.
4. Bury the picked pennywort stolons into the half-soil half-water shallow tray, then give them plenty of water and plenty of sun.
5. Add water promptly when the shallow tray runs out, as long as there is enough light, many small pennyworts will quickly grow on the stolons, and after 3-4 weeks, 1 small section of stolon will grow into a big pot of pennywort!
Succulents
Succulents are hard to get through summer, potted ones get black rot at the slightest thing, and the healthy branches left after black rot should be quickly water-propagated as cuttings, not only do they survive easily, but they get through summer better, soil-grown succulents can also be switched to hydroponics to get through summer.
1. Use sharp scissors or a craft knife to cut off the healthy branches of the succulent.
2. Put the cut succulent branches in a place at home with no light and good ventilation to dry for 2 days.
3. Apply a bit of rooting agent to the cut surface of the succulent, then insert it into the mouth of a glass bottle filled with water, making sure the lower end of the branch touches the water just a little. Put it in a place with diffused light and good ventilation, and in summer it will root within 1 week.
4. After roots grow, there's no need to rush to switch to soil cultivation, you can keep growing it in water, and wait until the temperature drops in autumn, then transplant it into soil.
5. For those succulents that are hard to get through summer and prone to black rot, you can also switch them from soil cultivation to hydroponics, hydroponics has good ventilation, is not prone to black rot, and roots very quickly, with no risk.
