Get these 5 flowers propagated by cuttings before autumn: they sprout in 10 days and can bloom by the New Year
Many flower growers like to keep a few more pots of flowers for viewing, but most of the time they still go out and buy ready-made potted plants, because although taking cuttings lets you enjoy the fun of doing it yourself, the follow-up care involves many steps and the plants do not easily survive, so in the end all that enthusiasm comes to nothing. But from now on you do not need to worry about this, because Huahua is introducing these five kinds of flowers to everyone. Plant them during this period, and you will see them bloom around the New Year.
These five plants are all suitable for taking cuttings before autumn, and their survival rate is very high. The first is the gardenia, which everyone knows and loves. Gardenias mostly grow in the south, so they are not very afraid of hot weather. In the scorching summer, the gardenia's branches grow more and more luxuriant and its flowers open very fully, which makes this a very good time to prune the gardenia. The branches left over after pruning can then be used for cuttings.
When taking cuttings, choose a spot with good ventilation and plenty of light. After planting the cuttings, we can put the flowerpot in a bucket, cover it with a layer of plastic film, and poke a few holes in it, because this helps air circulate, and the gardenia stems from the cuttings can quickly sprout and take root.
Pothos is now a must-have plant in every household. As everyone knows, pothos has very tenacious vitality, and it likes to grow in warm, humid environments. Whether potted or grown in water, neither has any effect on it. Right now is a good season for taking pothos cuttings. Cut a few stems from a mature pothos, and whether you press them into soil or just throw them into water, they will grow on their own and sprout within a few days.
Camellia has always been the representative of the artsy, fresh style. Like the gardenia, it is a southern plant, and its flower colors are mainly white and pink. During its growing period it has a great need for light, so try to put it in a sunny place such as a balcony. For its cuttings, you need to select relatively sturdy stems, and the soil is best if it is nutrient soil. One thing to note, however, is that a freshly planted camellia cutting will not grow quickly, and cultivating it takes patience.
Azalea is a flower species very beloved by Chinese people. It has many varieties and beautiful flower colors. Although it is somewhat difficult to care for at first, once mature, azaleas are very suitable for taking cuttings in this current season. During the cutting process, try to choose thick, sturdy stems, and if necessary it is best to disinfect the stems, then just keep the soil loose and the moisture sufficient. However, after the cuttings are first planted, it is best to move them to a dark, damp place first, as this helps them take root and sprout.
If you ask what flower you see the most on the roads in summer, it must be the Chinese rose. Chinese roses not only have gorgeous, moving colors but also a refreshing fragrance, so many households now choose to grow them on their balconies too. However, the biggest problem with Chinese roses is that they are prone to pests, so flower lovers who want to take cuttings should hurry and do it in this current season. Choose stems about 10 cm long for the cuttings, and remember to disinfect the stems; after that, with careful care, you can quietly wait for the flowers to bloom.
I never expected there would be so many plants suitable for taking cuttings in the scorching summer. It seems summer is not entirely without benefits for flowers. Before autumn arrives, everyone should quickly check whether their own beloved flowers are suitable for cuttings. If so, then hurry up and take action, because time waits for no one.
