It's hard to keep flowers alive in hot weather. They rot at the roots, turn black and mushy, or melt into water at the slightest thing. It's really worrying! But before the flowers completely die, Huahua wants to urge everyone to quickly cut a few branches for cuttings and keep a backup, because branches of plants like jasmine (Jasminum sambac), kalanchoe (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana), and succulents dipped in a bit of water can be saved, and within a few days they will grow big white roots.









Throw jasmine branches into water, and big white roots appear in 10 days!




Jasmine branches pruned after blooming in summer are the most suitable for cuttings. Not only is the survival rate high, but they also root especially fast.

1. Cut off the flowering branches on the jasmine branch, then cut off the old lower branches. As shown in the picture below, keep only the two pairs of buds and one pair of leaves in the middle.









2. Cut the remaining pair of jasmine leaves in half again, 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 place the foam on the water surface, and you're done!







4. Put the jasmine cutting setup in a place with bright indirect light and good ventilation, change the water often, and roots will grow in less than half a month.







5. After another 1-2 weeks, the root system of the jasmine branches will be quite developed, and at this point you can transplant them!







6. Choose loose, breathable soil, transplant the jasmine into the soil, water thoroughly, and put it in a shady place for 3-5 days. Once it has established roots, put it in a sunny spot with good light.












Throw kalanchoe branches into 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, everyone can cut a few branches for cuttings. Not only can you keep the 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 and use a knife to cut several holes with a diameter smaller than the kalanchoe branches, just enough to keep the branches from falling 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 light.







4. Change the water in the hydroponic bottle whenever it gets dirty. 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 2 times faster!




Aspirin is widely used in flower growing, especially in promoting rooting. It is 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 do not cut it completely apart. Leave a little bit connected.






4. Find a piece of foam board, cut it into a circle the diameter of the plastic bottle, 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. Cover with the upper half of the plastic bottle and use tape to seal the crack in the middle.






7. In this way, the gardenia branches stay in a high-humidity state inside the plastic bottle and will root very quickly.








Dip mint in a bit of vitamin B12, and it roots in 3 days!



In summer, you must grow a pot of mint. It can be used for tea and cooking. How can 1 pot be enough? Better to pinch off a few branches, throw them in water, and they will root in 1 week. Grow as many pots as you want!







1. Cut several mint branches about 10 cm long, making sure the branches are healthy, thick, and free of pests and diseases. Make sure the branches have 2-3 nodes.







2.

Prepare 1 vitamin B12 tablet, crush it into powder, dilute with water 2000 times, and 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 place 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 are longer than 3 cm, you can choose to continue hydroponic growing or transplant them into soil. No matter how many you plant, almost all of them will survive.












Throw pennywort into water, and it fills the pot in no time!




It's simply well known that pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris) is easy to keep alive. Especially in summer, with plenty of water and plenty of sun, it fills the pot in almost no time.







1. Pennywort leaves cannot be used for cuttings. What can be used for cuttings are its creeping stems.







2. Dig out the roots and stems of pennywort, pick a few sections of its creeping stems, and when picking, try to keep the leaves and soil on them.







3. Prepare a shallow tray, put soil in the bottom, add water on top, forming a half-soil, half-water state.







4. Bury the picked pennywort creeping stems 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 pennywort plants will quickly grow from the creeping stems. After 3-4 weeks, 1 small section of creeping stem will grow into a big pot of pennywort!










Apply a bit of rooting agent to succulents, and big white roots pop out like crazy!




Succulents are hard to get through summer. Potted ones often get black rot, and the healthy branches left after black rot should be quickly hydroponically propagated. Not only are they easy to keep alive, but they also get through summer more easily. Soil-grown succulents can also be switched to hydroponics to get through summer.







1. Use sharp scissors or a craft knife to cut off healthy succulent branches.







2. Leave the cut succulent branches in a place at home with no light and good ventilation to dry for 2 days.






3. Apply a little 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 slightly. Put it in a place with bright indirect light and good ventilation, and it can root within 1 week in summer.







4. After roots grow, there is no need to rush to transfer it to soil. You can keep growing it in water until the temperature drops in autumn, then transplant it into soil.







5. For succulents that are hard to get through summer and prone to black rot, everyone can also switch them from soil culture to hydroponics. Hydroponics has good ventilation, is less prone to black rot, and roots very quickly, with little risk.







Today's water propagation methods,




Huahua will introduce just these few first,




Flower friends, hurry and cut branches and try it,




Don't wait until the flowers are all dead to regret not keeping a backup!




Everyone hurry and share with more flower friends, and give everyone a reminder!
