Autumn has come. "Take cuttings" of 6 kinds of flowers and they are sure to survive; white roots appear in 1 week, and they grow into dense potted plants in 30 days
The first kind: snake plant
The snake plant is a common household flower. Keeping it indoors, you can enjoy both its leaves and its flowers. The snake plant's emerald green, firm leaves can effectively absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene, making it one of the main forces in purifying indoor air. So there is definitely nothing wrong with keeping a few more pots of snake plants indoors. When taking snake plant cuttings in autumn, choose healthy leaves, cut them with scissors into small sections about 10 cm long, be careful to distinguish the morphological upper and lower ends, then soak the lower ends in a 0.2% carbendazim aqueous solution for 10 minutes. After taking them out, let them dry, and insert them obliquely directly into sterilized sandy soil. Place the pot in a ventilated and shady place. Basically, in about 10 days you can see the snake plant sprouting new shoots, and when you dig one out, it has already grown many white roots.
The second kind: kalanchoe
Keeping kalanchoe indoors implies that the whole family will have health and longevity, and kalanchoe is a typical flowering machine. In one year it blooms from winter all the way to the end of summer before entering a brief dormancy. The propagation methods of kalanchoe include division propagation and cutting propagation. When choosing cutting propagation, autumn is the most suitable. Take healthy kalanchoe branches and trim them into small seedlings 5 to 10 cm long. Cut off the lower leaves and keep only the top two pairs of leaves, which can reduce the plant's own nutrient consumption. Soak the cut plant in a 0.2% indolebutyric acid solution for 20 seconds, which can effectively promote rooting. Insert the soaked branches obliquely into the pot and place them in a shady indoor spot. Basically within 1 week you can see new shoots emerging from the kalanchoe, which means the cutting has succeeded.
The third kind: Christmas cactus
Christmas cactus is a typical flower for the year-end season. Every year it blooms from winter all the way to summer, and the flowering period is also very long. The general propagation methods of Christmas cactus are mainly two kinds: cuttings and grafting. Generally, choosing cuttings is the simplest. Choose healthy, emerald green Christmas cactus segments and trim them into small sections 5 to 8 cm long. Place them in a carbendazim aqueous solution. After sterilization and disinfection, insert them obliquely into sandy soil and place them in a ventilated and shady place. In about 15 days you can see new segments growing on the Christmas cactus. After the plant grows strong, you can divide it according to your own needs.
The fourth kind: pothos
To keep pothos at home, you only need to buy one pot, and in one week you can propagate ten pots from it. That is, cut the pothos vines into small sections. The most efficient way is to find each growth bud on the pothos and cut the pothos into small sections according to each bud, trim off the excess leaves and vines, and after disinfecting in a carbendazim aqueous solution, bury the buds in the soil in a cool and ventilated place. In one week you can see new leaves growing on the pothos. This propagation method is very efficient, and turning one pot into ten pots is entirely possible. Basically in one month you will have a dense, emerald green potted plant.
The fifth kind: jasmine
The jasmine plant is fresh and elegant, and when the plant blooms, the flowers also have a faint delicate fragrance. Keeping it indoors is very elegant. In autumn you can choose healthy jasmine branches. After trimming, leave the top 1 to 2 pairs of leaves. I take the branches I trimmed and often soak them in a 0.2% indolebutyric acid aqueous solution for 10 seconds. After taking them out and letting them dry, insert the branches into sterilized sandy soil. Place them in a cool, ventilated place outdoors. This kind will quickly take root and sprout. When checking, you can choose dense cuttings. At least after they survive, you can then divide and transplant them.
The sixth kind: bougainvillea
Many friends like bougainvillea very much because it is good-looking and easy to grow. Bougainvillea basically keeps blooming every spring and summer, and a blooming bougainvillea is very beautiful, with the whole plant covered in flowers, very spectacular. Autumn is most suitable for taking bougainvillea cuttings. Choose bougainvillea branches that have not bloomed, and do a simple trim just like trimming jasmine branches. Soak the branches in a 0.2% indolebutyric acid aqueous solution, then insert the bougainvillea into sterilized sand. Of course, you can also choose the water propagation method for rooting: put the bougainvillea branches through a foam board and place them in water. In this way the base of the branches stays soaked in water. In about 10 days you can see white roots growing from the bougainvillea branches, and then they can be planted in pots. In.
When taking flower cuttings in autumn, pay attention to placing the cut branches in a cool and ventilated place. Just control watering to keep the soil moist, and also avoid exposure to the sun, otherwise the survival rate will decrease. The six kinds of flowers shared above are the most suitable for autumn cuttings, and basically they can survive in 1 to 2 weeks.
