Take Cuttings of These 6 Flowers in Autumn: They Root as Soon as You Plant Them, and Bloom as Soon as They Root

I do not know whether you have a favorite season, but I am especially fond of spring and autumn. The temperature is just around 20-something degrees, neither hot nor cold, the most comfortable. Actually, flowers and plants are the same. Whenever spring and autumn arrive, they also love to grow like crazy in this kind of temperature. To avoid plants overflowing their pots too much, remember to do the job of dividing them. In particular, for these 6 flowers and plants, pothos, jasmine, Chinese rose, Christmas cactus, kalanchoe and ZZ plant, autumn is the best time to do the cutting work for these plants. Below I will share with you the points to note when taking cuttings.

Points to Note When Taking Pothos Cuttings

Pothos is one of the easiest flowers and plants to root from cuttings. Any stem stuck into the soil can survive. Even if a beginner is taking pothos cuttings for the first time, they can still keep the plant alive. Pothos cuttings can be inserted directly into soil, or they can be grown in water. Although pothos cuttings are very easy, in later care it is best to place the pothos in a ventilated spot, and be sure to give it plenty of bright indirect light rather than direct sunlight. In addition, soil-cultured pothos cuttings must be kept with moist potting soil.

Points to Note When Taking Jasmine Cuttings

First, when taking jasmine cuttings, prepare the flowerpot and the potting soil first. Jasmine likes to take root and sprout in a loose and airy environment, so when preparing the potting soil, it is suggested to add some fine sand to the soil. Second, choose jasmine stems that are thick and strong, preferably stems that still have flower buds and leaves on them. Finally, insert the jasmine stems into the potting soil. Note that freshly planted jasmine cuttings should not be placed under the sun, but directly in a cool and ventilated place. After about one week, the cuttings will take root and sprout.

Jasmine has a pleasant fragrance, and the dried flowers can also be made into jasmine tea. For such a beautiful and useful flower, hurry up and take cuttings to grow a few more pots.

Points to Note When Taking Chinese Rose Cuttings

Chinese rose is the plant with the strongest adaptability and the strongest reproductive ability among cut-flower plants. Taking Chinese rose cuttings is very simple. You only need a pair of scissors to cut off a stem of the Chinese rose, insert it directly into fine sand, and after about one week it will take root. Then move the rooted Chinese rose stem into a flowerpot. But there is one thing to note: you must always keep the Chinese rose potting soil moist, so that the Chinese rose can grow better and better.

Points to Note When Taking Christmas Cactus Cuttings

The flowering period of Christmas cactus is generally the three seasons of autumn, winter and spring. So choosing autumn to take Christmas cactus cuttings is a very wise choice. Because throughout the whole winter there will be bright flowers for company, the whole winter feels warm. Christmas cactus also needs scissors to cut some tender stems, which can be inserted directly into the potting soil. But everyone should note that it is best to use leaf mold soil for Christmas cactus cuttings. It can not only quickly promote rooting, but also improve the plant's survival rate.

Points to Note When Taking Kalanchoe Cuttings

After choosing the stems for kalanchoe, it is best to soak the stems in rooting water for a while, or you can directly apply rooting powder to the stems. The purpose of doing this is to improve the survival rate of kalanchoe cuttings. But after kalanchoe cuttings are inserted into the soil, note that you should not expose the plant directly to the sun. It is best to choose a ventilated place with bright indirect light. In the later stage, be sure to keep the soil moist, as this is good for the plant's later growth.

Points to Note When Taking ZZ Plant Cuttings

The ZZ plant can be described as a plant with luxuriant branches and leaves. If you want to take cuttings, it is very easy, and one leaf is enough. If you want the ZZ plant to take root and sprout quickly after cutting, it is best to choose a leaf with a leaf axis, as this gives a greater chance of rooting. But it is worth noting that you should not water the ZZ plant too much. To avoid root rot, it is suggested to use a spray bottle to spray water and just keep the soil moist. It is best to spray water mist on the ZZ plant leaves 1 to 2 times a day.

Aren't the above 6 cutting methods for flowers and plants very simple? Friends who have these flowers and plants at home may as well get started and, while the weather is just right now, give flower and plant cuttings a try.
