Take cuttings of these 3 flowers before Mid-Autumn Festival; they root fast without black rot, and every pot you stick survives

After autumn begins, it is a season of vigorous plant growth. At this time, sowing seeds or taking cuttings is very good. The power of the autumn tiger slowly weakens, Mid-Autumn Festival is almost here, and the weather has gradually become much cooler. Friends who find sowing troublesome can choose cuttings at this time. Friends who like growing flowers should hurry and get started; the survival rate is very high now.

Among these flowers, some are inevitably rather delicate. Today I will introduce these three, which are relatively stronger in vitality. Before Mid-Autumn Festival, just take cuttings of these three flowers; they root quickly, every pot you stick survives, and they do not blacken or rot.

Christmas cactus

Christmas cactus is most suitable for growing from cuttings. After the high temperatures of summer, this is exactly when it grows. Choose a Christmas cactus stem segment and cut it off at an angle. On the cut segment, smear a little carbendazim or white flour; this can prevent bacterial infection. There are also two options for Christmas cactus cuttings. One is to soak the Christmas cactus in rooting liquid, and when the Christmas cactus grows small roots, transfer it to potting soil for cutting propagation.

The other method is direct soil culture. Select a Christmas cactus that is in its growth period and insert it into prepared soil. The soil requirements for potted Christmas cactus are not high; you can choose garden soil plus leaf mold, and add a little sand, which can make the soil more loose and permeable. Generally it will root in about seven days. The survival rate of Christmas cactus is very high, and its growth speed is also fast. It usually blooms in October, and the flowering period is also relatively long. Now is exactly the right time for cuttings.

Purple necklace

Purple necklace, the name sounds very nice. It actually belongs to the succulents. It also has the same trait as spider plant, being able to trail outside the pot, so it can also be called succulent spider plant. When the weather is good, especially on very sunny days, its leaves will change from green to purplish red; this is also a very magical process. Purple necklace is also grown from cuttings, and now is exactly a very suitable season for cuttings.

First cut the stem segments needed for cuttings. Purple necklace itself has a very strong rooting ability; generally cuttings or division are chosen, but the survival rate of cuttings is the highest. Choose a stem segment with plump leaf flesh and cut it off. Wait until the wound on the stem segment dries, then insert it into the soil. Choose loose and breathable soil. Then spray a little water on the surface of the purple necklace's potting soil to keep it moist. Note that purple necklace cannot be propagated using leaves alone; it needs to have both stem and leaves together for cuttings. Water reasonably; do not water too much, and do not let the potting soil dry out.

Bougainvillea

Friends who have grown bougainvillea know that the best season for bougainvillea cuttings is spring and autumn. Bougainvillea itself has very high ornamental value, and many friends choose ready-made potted bougainvillea. In fact, the survival rate of bougainvillea cuttings is also very high. Bougainvillea has somewhat higher soil requirements; use coconut coir plus perlite as the cutting soil for bougainvillea.

First prepare semi-lignified stem segments, cut off some of the leaves on them, then insert these stem segments into the prepared soil, cover with a foam box, uncover them at fixed times every day for ventilation for 10 to 20 minutes, and keep watering once every 3 to 4 days. Bougainvillea roots a little more slowly; it takes about one to two months before it starts to root. After it grows into a small seedling, move it into a pot, place it in a ventilated place, and after one week of acclimation it can be cared for normally.

With these methods, the survival rate of propagation is basically very high, and the phenomenon of blackening and rotting will not appear. The process of planting flowers and plants is itself a very enjoyable process. Seeing the flowers you cultivated yourself grow better and bloom more vigorously is also a very satisfying thing. For autumn cuttings, you can first choose these three. Basically, every pot you stick survives. If you think it is good, you can click to save, follow and share; I hope it can help you.
