Now is the perfect time to propagate these flowers by cuttings, so get moving

At last we have bid farewell to the scorching heat of summer and are about to welcome the crisp, refreshing days of autumn. As the climate becomes more and more suitable, the golden moment for flower cuttings arrives along with it.

In this kind of weather right now, it is exactly the good time to take cuttings of the following flowers. The cuttings root quickly and the success rate of propagation is high, making it a rare opportunity for cuttings, so gardening friends should get started early.

Jasmine

First select a branch with good growth and no pest or disease infection, and cut about 10 cm of it to use as a cutting.

Prepare some loose, fertile soil with good air permeability as the soil medium for the cutting, then insert the cutting into the prepared soil, to a depth of about one third.

After the cutting has rooted, transplant it into a flower pot and care for it normally according to jasmine care methods.

Rose

Choose some relatively strong branches and cut off the excess leaves on them to prevent the loss of nutrients.

Then insert the cutting into a loose, breathable soil medium, water it thoroughly once, and gently press the soil around the cutting firm with your fingers.

After about two weeks the cutting will successfully root. To shorten its rooting time, you can beforehand apply some rooting powder to the cut end of the cutting.

Camellia

Choose a branch about 10 cm long as the cutting; one or two leaves can be appropriately kept on the cutting.

When the root system of the cutting has grown to about 3 cm, the cutting can be transplanted into a flower pot for care.

Periwinkle

Next, place the cutting directly into clear water and care for it in a cool, ventilated place. After about a week the cutting will successfully root.

Then take the cutting out of the water and move it into soil for care. Loose, fertile soil is good for the healthy growth of periwinkle.

Lucky bamboo

Cut off a robust lucky bamboo branch and remove all the excess leaves on it.

Change the water once a week, and after basically about three weeks the lucky bamboo will have rooted. After that you can, according to your own preference, either continue with water culture or grow it in soil, whichever you like.
