6 kinds of flowers are all suitable for cuttings, and 1 branch can grow into a potted plant in half a month

The weather is getting cooler and cooler, and this is also the peak growing season for potted flowers. I shared with you before that for flower propagation by cuttings, only two seasons in the year are most suitable, one is spring, and the other is autumn. Autumn is almost here, and growing flowers now can be said to be very worry-free! Of course, you cannot be careless either. Today I will share with you some knowledge about propagating flowers by cuttings. The "6 kinds" of flowers mentioned below can all be propagated by cuttings, and 1 small branch can grow into 1 pot of flowers. It can be said to be very practical!

The first kind of flower for cuttings: Christmas cactus

The flowering period of Christmas cactus is from autumn each year to spring of the following year, so it can be said to be a very beautiful flowering plant for overwintering. Now is exactly the right time to root a pot of Christmas cactus by cuttings! Propagating Christmas cactus by cuttings is also quite easy to do. You only need to use scissors to cut some young branches from a mature Christmas cactus, and then they can be inserted into the potting soil. For the potting soil used for cuttings, it is recommended to mix leaf mold, pine needles, and manure, etc., which can increase the survival rate of cuttings, and roots can grow in three to five days.

The second kind of flower for cuttings: jasmine

Jasmine is a relatively beautiful flowering ornamental plant. Its flowers are pure white and fragrant, making it very suitable for growing at home. Of course, this is also a good time for jasmine cuttings. Cut one or two branches from a mature jasmine plant and insert them into a flowerpot, and lush roots can grow in about 7 days. For the potting soil, it is recommended to mix in more fine sand, because jasmine is suitable for rooting in a loose, breathable environment. After the cuttings are completed, they should not be placed in sunlight immediately, but should stay in a cool, ventilated place for two days.

The third kind of flower for cuttings: money tree

A few days ago I also shared with you that the money tree, a foliage potted plant, is very suitable for growing at home, especially in the living room, because in addition to being evergreen all year round, it also has very good symbolic meaning. The money tree is relatively easy to care for, and propagation is of course very easy too. It can even be propagated by cuttings using leaves. The money trees in the picture above were all grown by inserting leaves into the potting soil, and in just a few days, they all rooted. If cared for this way, perhaps in less than a month they can grow into potted plants and be transplanted into flowerpots.

The fourth kind of flower for cuttings: Chinese rose

Chinese rose, there is no need to say much about this, right? I also grow some in my yard at home, and they bloom beautifully every year. Because they are planted in the ground, they grow very lushly. Of course, growing Chinese roses in pots indoors is also quite good. Chinese roses have strong adaptability, and their cutting propagation ability is much stronger than that of many other flowers. Directly use scissors to cut off branches and insert them into fine sand, and lush roots can grow in three to five days. In about ten days, they can be transplanted into a new flowerpot. For Chinese roses, watering is very important. Only when the potting soil remains moist for a long time will they grow more vigorously, with larger and more brilliant flowers.

The fifth kind of flower for cuttings: pothos

Pothos is one of the plants grown most often at home. It is easy to grow and easy to keep alive. If you casually pinch off a branch and throw it into the potting soil, it can still survive. The pothos cutting cycle is very short. If the potting soil is suitable, it can root in two days. After many people buy a pot of pothos at the flower market, they never go back to the flower market to buy one for two or three years, relying entirely on their own cuttings. After all, even beginners at growing flowers can completely carry out the operation of propagating pothos by cuttings. When caring for pothos, as long as sufficient scattered light and sufficient water are ensured, the leaves can remain glossy green.

The sixth kind of flower for cuttings: kalanchoe

Among all flowering ornamental plants, there are actually not many flowers that can be propagated by branches. In addition to jasmine and Chinese rose, kalanchoe and geranium can also be counted. This is because these two plants are also relatively easy to keep alive. Often, after cutting off a branch and dipping the bottom in some rooting powder, burying it in the soil also leads to fast rooting. In the process of propagating kalanchoe by cuttings, remember a few principles: first, the soil must be moist; second, sufficient scattered light must be provided; third, the environment must be ventilated. With such care, roots can grow in less than a week, and in half a month they can be transplanted into a new pot.
