8 Common Flowers to Propagate by Cuttings Right Now, with a Survival Rate as High as 100%

Propagate pothos this way for 100% survival!

1. Use scissors to cut off thick, fresh pothos vines. It is best to disinfect the scissors beforehand with a lighter.

2. Cut the pothos vines into several small sections, 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 disinfected beforehand; if not, leave them in the sun for a day. Then spray water to make the soil slightly moist, and it is ready for planting pothos!

4. Coil the pothos vines around and insert them vertically into the soil, with the front of the leaves facing up.

5. After propagation is complete, spray a little water and place it in a ventilated, shady spot. Water thoroughly again once the soil surface dries, and new shoots will soon grow!

Propagate kalanchoe this way, and 1 pot becomes 10 pots!

1. Do not throw away the kalanchoe branches pruned off in daily care. Use clean scissors to cut them into several small sections, then leave them in a cool, ventilated place to let the wounds dry.

2. Prepare clean leaf mold, mix in some perlite, and spray water so the soil is slightly moist and a bit damp. If you do not have leaf mold at home, clean garden soil mixed with a little river sand will also work.

3. Insert the lower end of the kalanchoe branches into the soil, water thoroughly once, and place them on an east- or west-facing balcony or windowsill with bright, indirect light.

4. In less than ten days to half a month, the propagated kalanchoe branches will grow lots of white roots!

5. After rooting, give them more sun, water about once a week, and apply monopotassium phosphate once a month. In a few months, they will bloom!

Water-propagate snake plant leaves and they root in 1 week!

1. Break off healthy, thick leaves, cut the leaves into several small sections of about 10 cm each, and after cutting, leave them in a ventilated, shady place to dry for 2 days.

2. If you see that the cut ends of the snake plant have shrunk slightly and become limp, that means they are dried and ready. A little drying 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 sections in so they are submerged 3-5 cm. Be careful not to mix up the top and bottom, otherwise they will not root.

4. Keep changing the water about once every 4 days. You can add a little carbendazim to the water. This way, in 2 weeks, roots will grow!

5. After roots grow, add some nutrient solution or aspirin to the water. In about 2 months, small shoots 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 cut the lower end at an angle.

3. Put the branches into a potassium permanganate solution and soak for 5-10 minutes to disinfect. Insert the branches into the cleaning sponge.

4. Then use a water-soaked wet wipe to wrap the sponge.

5. Put the sponge wrapped in the wet wipe into a plastic bottle, and pour 1-2 cm of clean water into the bottom.

6. Put the cap on the plastic bottle, leave a little gap, and then place it indoors on a south-facing balcony, south-facing windowsill, east- or west-facing balcony, east- or west-facing windowsill, and similar spots.

7. The sponge and wet wipe can maintain relatively high humidity, and in less than a month, the osmanthus will root!

Gardenia: just pinch off a branch and toss it in water and it lives!

1. Cut half-year-old healthy gardenia branches, remove the lower part of the branch, and keep only the top 2 leaves.

2. A foam box not in use at home can be washed clean, and an awl can be used to poke several small holes in it.

3. 1 hole for 1 branch. Insert the gardenia branches one by one into the small holes and let it float in a container with water. 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 sun, and after 1-2 weeks, transplant the branches into separate pots for care.

Propagate bougainvillea this way, and big white roots pop out rapidly!

1. To propagate bougainvillea, you can use coconut coir bricks. Soak them in water with carbendazim beforehand for 30-40 minutes to disinfect. After soaking, squeeze them slightly dry and put them into a disposable cup.

2. Cut bougainvillea branches to about the length of a palm, remove the lower leaves, and keep only about 2 pairs of leaves at the upper end.

3. Insert the bougainvillea branches into the coconut coir soil, then place them in a transparent storage box, spray water on the inner walls of the box, and put the lid on without sealing it tightly, leaving a little gap.

4. Place the storage box in a cool, ventilated place, open the lid twice a day to spray water and maintain moisture, keeping water on the box walls. In about 20 days, they will root.

Propagate camellia this way, and every cutting survives!

1. Choose 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.

2. Trim the camellia cuttings so that each cutting contains 2 leaves, then soak them in a carbendazim solution for 15-20 minutes, then take them out to dry.

3. Prepare clean river sand and soak it beforehand in a potassium permanganate solution to disinfect it. This can reduce black stems and improve the survival rate.

Disinfected river sand, pour it into a flowerpot, spray it wet with clean water, and poke holes in the soil surface with your fingers.

4. Insert the camellia branches into the holes, press them down slightly, cover with a layer of plastic film, and place them in a bright, ventilated spot for care. Open it every day and spray water 1-2 times, and they will root quickly!

Propagate azaleas this way, and however many you plant, that many will live!

1. Use scissors to cut healthy azalea branches free of pests and diseases, not too long, about 5-10 cm. After cutting, soak them in carbendazim to disinfect.

2. Prepare a mineral water bottle, cut it open from the middle, and leave a little connected, do not cut it completely apart.

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 the bottom, or water it 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 together, pour water into the tray, and during the rooting period, make sure there is always water in the tray!

6. Place the entire propagation setup in a bright, ventilated spot, and in 1-2 months, the azaleas will grow roots~!
