The 5 best flowers for taking cuttings in autumn, easier to grow than pothos, miss it and you'll wait another year!

1. Dahlia

Dahlias are very easy to propagate from cuttings. The best time to take dahlia cuttings is in autumn, when they root more easily than in spring.

1. Choose a side shoot from the base. For the cutting medium, use a 1:1 mix of peat moss and perlite, and moisten the soil.

2. Before inserting the cutting, poke a hole first, then place the stem in, and water thoroughly.

3. Place in a spot with indirect light and good ventilation, and keep the potting soil moist.

2. Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe is very easy to propagate from cuttings, and autumn is the best season for taking its cuttings. Go ahead and take cuttings without hesitation.

1. Cut about 1 cm above an axillary bud; this helps the mother plant branch out. One stem can be cut into several small sections, each retaining at least two nodes with leaves, then remove the leaves from the bottom node.

2. There are many choices for the cutting medium - peat, potting soil, or sand all work. Just make sure to keep the medium on the moist side.

3. After taking the cutting, place it in a cool, ventilated spot to recover for a few days; this helps with survival.

3. Rieger Begonia

1. Select healthy stems for cuttings, divide them into sections. The cutting medium can be a 1:1 mix of vermiculite and perlite.

2. Use a blade to cut the stem at roughly a 45° angle (be careful with the angle when cutting leaves diagonally, with the cut surface facing up). Wait until the cut surface dries before inserting.

3. After inserting, water thoroughly and place in indirect light. Note: the cut surface must be sliced clean in one stroke with a sharp blade, the medium must be thoroughly moistened, and finally, maintaining humidity is key.

4. Christmas Cactus

1. Take 1 to 2 mature stem segments as cuttings. Then let the stems dry for 2-3 days to let the wounds heal.

2. For the cutting soil, you can use pine needle soil, perlite, or vermiculite. The medium should be semi-moist when inserting.

3. Insert to a depth of about 1/2 the length of the cutting. After inserting, water with a fine spray bottle just to make the cutting soil moist.

4. Shade appropriately. Roots generally begin to form in 10-15 days. At this point, the cover can gradually be put on later and removed earlier, gradually exposing them to light. During this period, water appropriately according to the moisture conditions of the air and the medium.

5. Geranium

1. Any medium will do, but it must have good drainage and be sterilized. The medium should not be too wet. Before inserting, mix with water until semi-dry - when you squeeze it in your hand it forms a ball, and when you open your hand it falls apart;

2. After cutting the stem, let it dry slightly until the cut end seals over. When inserting, the bottom end of the stem must not be damaged. You can first poke a hole with a bamboo skewer. You can use a disposable cup for cuttings.

3. After inserting the stem, no need to water thoroughly. After about 5 days, the bottom of the cup can be dipped in water. After inserting, place in a ventilated spot, spray the leaves with water frequently. After one week, it can get morning sun, which helps rooting.
