These 6 flowers are easy to root from cuttings in autumn; one branch becomes a potted flower, and if you miss it you will have to wait another year

For many gardening beginners, growing potted plants is becoming more and more second nature. In the past, when a plant died, they would just throw it away and buy a new pot. Having learned from the experience of killing potted flowers before, now whenever spring and autumn come around, I always remember to divide or propagate some of my potted plants by cuttings, such as the pothos, jasmine and Chinese rose I have been growing recently. Now that cutting propagation season has come again, I would like to share my insights and experience on propagating potted flowers from cuttings for everyone's reference.

Hurry up and take cuttings of these 6 flowers; they root easily in autumn, one branch and leaf becomes a potted flower, and if you miss it you will have to wait another year

Notes on propagating pothos (Epipremnum aureum) from cuttings:

For beginners, pothos is a very easy potted plant to keep alive, and also a very easy plant to propagate from cuttings. Any single branch can be used to grow a whole pot. Because the pothos cutting cycle is very short, it takes only about two days for pothos cuttings to root.

Let me quietly tell you that I actually did not spend any money buying my pothos, because pothos pots are everywhere in the office. I just picked one or two branches from each pot, took them home and planted them directly in the soil, then placed the pothos pot in a ventilated spot with bright, indirect light.

How to propagate Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera) from cuttings:

First, use scissors to cut off a young Christmas cactus branch and stick it directly into the potting soil. Second, the potting soil for Christmas cactus is best made of leaf mold, and you can choose to mix pine needles with organic fertilizer. Remember these two steps, and after the Christmas cactus is cuttings-planted, it will root and sprout within a week.

The flowering period of Christmas cactus is generally in winter, so whenever autumn arrives, it is the best time to take Christmas cactus cuttings. This is because two months after the cuttings are taken, winter arrives, which is also the Christmas cactus flowering season.

Notes on propagating Chinese rose (Rosa chinensis) from cuttings:

Chinese rose cuttings have particularly strong adaptability to growth. But when taking Chinese rose cuttings, note that you should first use scissors to cut off a Chinese rose branch, preferably choosing a branch with leaves and flower buds, then stick it directly into prepared fine sand. Wait one week; after the Chinese rose branch has grown roots, move it together with the fine sand into a flower pot.

After Chinese rose cuttings succeed, watering is a technical job. It cannot be too dry, nor can it have standing water; only by keeping the soil moist can the Chinese rose produce delicate, beautiful flowers and grow more vigorously.

How to propagate ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) from cuttings:

Growing a ZZ plant at home is said to carry extraordinary symbolic meaning; it is an evergreen potted plant in all four seasons. It is suitable for lazy people to grow, because it does not need careful attention to grow well. ZZ plant cuttings are very simple; even just one leaf can grow into a lush, leafy ZZ plant. So if you are usually rather lazy but still want evergreen plants at home, you might as well grow a ZZ plant; cuttings are easy and care is also very simple.

Notes on propagating kalanchoe (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana) from cuttings:

Kalanchoe also has very strong vitality. Usually just one branch is enough for a successful cutting. Many friends, when taking kalanchoe cuttings, apply rooting powder to the bottom of the cutting branch, so that when the kalanchoe branch is buried in soil, it can quickly root and sprout.

But when taking kalanchoe cuttings, be sure to pay attention to the following three points:

First, the potting soil must be kept in a moist state; second, the placement location must be ventilated; third, there must be sufficient bright, indirect light.

Pay attention to the above three requirements, and kalanchoe cuttings will grow many roots within 7 days; after 15 days, they can be moved into a flower pot.

How to propagate jasmine (Jasminum sambac) from cuttings:

First, from a mature jasmine plant, cut off two branches and stick them directly into a new flower pot; usually after one week, they will root and sprout.

Second, the potting soil for jasmine is best made by combining ordinary soil with fine sand, because jasmine likes to grow in a loose, breathable soil environment.

Finally, it is recommended not to directly put the jasmine cuttings in the sun to bake; first place them in a ventilated, shaded spot for two to three days, then place them where there is bright, indirect

light coming in.

Jasmine not only has white, beautiful flowers, but is also a kind of flower tea; it is very suitable for growing at home, enjoying the flowers when they bloom and brewing tea when the flowers fall.

The above 6 flower cutting propagation methods and precautions are hoped to help everyone do a good job in flower cutting propagation. At the same time, I also hope everyone can propagate their own potted flowers from cuttings; this not only brings a sense of accomplishment, but most importantly, it lets you have more and more potted plants at home without spending a single cent.
