Propagate pothos this way for 100% survival!
1. Use scissors to cut off thick, fresh pothos vines. It is best to sterilize the scissors beforehand with a lighter.
2. Cut the pothos vines into several small segments, each containing 2 nodes, with 1 leaf and 1 growth point in between.
3. Prepare leaf mold, peat soil, and perlite, and mix them evenly in a 2:2:1 ratio. It is best if they have been sterilized beforehand; if not sterilized, put them in the sun for one day. Then spray water to make the soil slightly moist, and it is ready for planting pothos!
4. Insert the pothos vines into the soil upright in a circular arrangement, with the front of the leaves facing upward.
5. After cutting is complete, spray some water and place it in a ventilated, shady spot. Water thoroughly again once the soil surface is dry, and soon small sprouts will grow!
Propagate kalanchoe this way, and 1 pot becomes 10 pots!
1. Do not throw away the kalanchoe branches normally pruned off. Use clean scissors to cut them into several small segments, then place them in a cool, ventilated place to let the wounds dry.

2. Prepare clean leaf mold, mix in some perlite, and spray water to make the soil slightly moist, with a bit of dampness. If you do not have leaf mold at home, clean garden soil mixed with some river sand also works.

5. After rooting, give more sunlight, water about once a week, and apply monopotassium phosphate once a month. After a few months, it will bloom!
Water-propagate snake plant leaves, rooting in 1 week!
1. Break off robust, thick leaves, cut the leaves into several small segments, each about 10 cm, and after cutting, place them in a ventilated, shady spot to dry for 2 days.
2. If the cut ends of the snake plant look slightly shriveled and wilted, that means they are dried and ready. Drying them a bit makes them root faster and improves the survival rate compared with not drying them.
3. Find a cup, fill it with some water, and put the snake plant segments in 3-5 cm, being careful not to mix up the top and bottom, otherwise they will not root.
4. Change the water about once every 4 days. You can add a little carbendazim to the water, and in this way, in 2 weeks, roots will grow!
5. After roots grow, add some nutrient solution or aspirin to the water, and after about 2 months, small sprouts will grow!
Sponge + wet wipe, osmanthus cuttings survive 100%!
1. Prepare a cleaning sponge used for washing dishes, cut it into small pieces, and poke a few small holes in each piece.
2. Cut semi-lignified osmanthus branches, about 10-15 cm long, keep 2-3 leaves at the upper end, and make a slanted cut at the lower end.
3. Put the branches into a potassium permanganate solution and soak for 5-10 minutes to disinfect. Insert the branches into the cleaning sponge.

3. One hole for one branch. Insert the gardenia branches one by one into the small holes, let them float in a container with water, and it is best to cover the top with a plastic bag to retain moisture.
4. In about ten days to half a month, the gardenia branches will grow small white roots!
5. After rooting, they can gradually get some sunlight, and after 1-2 weeks, transplant the branches into separate pots for care.

1. To propagate bougainvillea, you can use coir bricks. Soak them in water with carbendazim for 30-40 minutes to disinfect, then squeeze them slightly dry and put them into disposable cups.
2. Cut bougainvillea branches to about palm length, remove the lower leaves, and keep only about 2 pairs of leaves at the upper end.
3. Insert the bougainvillea branches into the coir soil, then place them in a transparent storage box, spray water on the walls of the storage box, then put the lid on, but do not seal it tightly; leave a small gap.
4. Place the storage box in a cool, ventilated place, open the lid twice a day to spray water and retain moisture, keeping water on the box walls, and roots will grow in about 20 days.
Propagate camellia this way, and every cutting survives!
1. Select healthy, thick camellia branches that have grown for about half a year. This kind of branch has active tissue and plump axillary buds, making it easiest to survive.

3. Use an awl to poke several drainage holes in the bottom of the plastic bottle, then put clean perlite into the lower half of the plastic bottle, set it into a water-filled container to soak from below, or water thoroughly.
4. Insert the azalea branches that have been soaked in carbendazim into the moist perlite, then place them in a tray.
5. Tape the upper and lower parts of the plastic bottle back together, pour water into the tray, and during the rooting period, make sure there is always water in the tray!
6. Place the entire cutting setup in a bright, ventilated place, and in 1-2 months, the azalea will grow roots~!
Propagate roses in plastic bottles, and they live as soon as they are inserted!
1. Collect discarded mineral water bottles and tear off the advertising paper. If there is water inside, keep it; do not pour it out.
2. Cut fresh, healthy rose branches, about palm length. The leaves do not need to be removed. Insert the branches into the mineral water bottle, letting the water at the bottom just slightly cover the bottom of the branches.
3. Place the mineral water bottle holding the branches, with its mouth open, on an east or west balcony or a north balcony. Do not expose it to strong sun or place it somewhere too hot.
4. Change the water about once every 2-3 days. It is best to use purified water or mineral water. Soon the rose branches will form callus tissue, and then grow roots.
5. When transitioning from water propagation to soil propagation, you can put the rooted branches into a disposable plastic cup and add a little soil each day, letting the roots gradually adapt, and gradually they will transition to soil culture.
