These 3 flowers are propagated by cuttings in autumn, and when the time comes, blooms will cover the branches
Autumn has arrived, and it is once again the annual harvest season. Vegetables, melons and fruits need to be harvested, so our flowering plants need "sowing and cutting" propagation. In summer, because the weather is hot, cutting many plants can cause root rot and black rot. Finally, we have endured until autumn when the weather is cool, so how could there be any reason not to take cuttings!
In autumn, many plants and flowers enter their growth period. At this time, cuttings not only sprout relatively quickly, but also grow relatively well. So what kinds of flowering plants are actually suitable for cuttings in autumn? Don't worry, Huahua will recommend some to everyone right now!
1. Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera)
I believe many flower lovers' Christmas cacti remain in a wilted state throughout summer, but this is also normal, since Christmas cactus is in its dormant period in summer. But autumn is different. At this time, Christmas cactus is in its flowering period, and it can even bloom until the following spring. If you take a few cuttings at this time, you can gain another pot of Christmas cactus.
To propagate Christmas cactus by cuttings, you need to choose relatively tender branches, so that they will root more easily after being inserted into the flowerpot. For the cutting soil, it is best to choose fertile soil with relatively good air permeability. Soil like leaf mold, which contains many nutrients, is especially suitable. After cutting, water regularly, and you will find that within a few days the small buds of the Christmas cactus will grow out.
2. Rose (Rosa chinensis)
Rose should count as a popular flower, since sometimes you can spot it just by walking along the roadside. Rose buds are relatively large, the flower colors are many, and after blooming there is a faint fragrance. Growing it at home really saves even the money for "air freshener." The flowering period of rose is very long, so choosing to take cuttings in autumn is a good option.
Rose cuttings also require branches. The vitality and adaptability of rose can truly be said to rank among the best in the flower world. After choosing the branches for cuttings, insert them into prepared fine sand. In this way, within no more than 7 days, the rose will sprout small buds. Afterward, once the rose has grown a complete root system, it can be moved into a larger flowerpot. Remember that rose needs frequent watering to keep the potting soil moist.
3. Jasmine (Jasminum sambac)
Jasmine has a pure white appearance and a fresh scent. Growing a pot of this kind of flower at home is truly full of enjoyment. The flowering period of jasmine is concentrated in summer. If you miss the cutting opportunity now in autumn, that means you will have to wait another year. The cutting method for jasmine is relatively easy. We select a few branches from a mature jasmine plant for cuttings. After cutting, remember to place it in a shady spot for care, and in about a week it can take root!
Take advantage of the cool autumn time to propagate several kinds of flowers by cuttings, and by next year's flowering period you can enjoy the scene of a whole pot in bloom. Just thinking about it makes you happy, doesn't it?
