Flowers hard to root? Gardeners share 4 little tricks, one is sure to suit you

Cuttings are a great way to propagate flowers. Taking cuttings is a big project with high demands on environmental factors, and temperature is a key step; spring and autumn temperatures are just right, and now is the perfect time for cuttings and grafting.

Many friends tell Huahua in the comments that their cuttings are not easy to keep alive, which worries them terribly. Running into this kind of situation is truly worrying. The most important thing about cuttings is whether they can survive; if the roots cannot survive, all that work amounts to nothing.

So today Huahua wants to teach everyone a few little tricks to "escort" your cuttings and help plant roots take root and sprout faster.

1. Aspirin

People who grow flowers often know that aspirin is a good thing. Dilute an aspirin tablet at a ratio of 1:10000, then soak the cuttings in the aspirin solution for a while, and the plant's rooting speed will speed up. Aspirin also contains salicylic acid and other ingredients, and these ingredients can do a great job of promoting plant growth and speeding up the plant's growth rate.

2. Clever use of rice vinegar

Rice vinegar is a common seasoning kept at home, but many people do not know that rice vinegar can also be used to help plants root and speed up plant growth. It works on the same principle as beer; before use it must be diluted first. After diluting white vinegar at a ratio of 1:100, soak the cuttings that need rooting in the solution. After about 8-12 hours, dry the cuttings, and then you can proceed to the next steps.

3. Clever use of white sugar

White sugar is also something every household has, so it is very easy to get. Dilute white sugar and water at a ratio of 1:9. As with the other methods, soak the cuttings in the solution for about 30-40 minutes, then use a knife to make a cut on the cuttings, and they are ready for planting.

4. Vitamin B12

Vitamins are something we people take to supplement the vitamins our bodies need, and plants are the same; they also need corresponding nutrients supplemented. Before taking cuttings, dilute the vitamin at a ratio of 1:2, then soak the cuttings in the water for 5 minutes. Then they are ready for planting.

Many of these methods are summed up and tried out by gardening experts, so everyone can give them a try. Especially the two things you can find everywhere, white sugar and white vinegar: if you happen to run into similar problems with your cuttings, you might as well try the methods Huahua has summed up for everyone.

Taking cuttings is not only a technical job, but also a job that requires care and patience. During the cutting process, you must keep a good mindset and avoid getting irritated; only a good mindset can grow good plants~
