Propagate 4 kinds of flowers by cuttings during the autumn tiger period, they root fast and grow vigorously, one pot becomes 20 pots
We all know that after the high temperatures of summer pass, there is still an "autumn tiger" waiting for us. During the autumn tiger period, the temperature is even higher than in midsummer, extremely hot! This has troubled a group of flower growers, as many flowers enter dormancy in summer and are just waiting for autumn to let them recover, but who knew there would still be an autumn tiger waiting! However, in despair, we must also see hope. Even during the autumn tiger period, just take cuttings of these 4 kinds of flowers, and the hotter it is, the faster they root, and the more vigorously they grow! Before you know it, 1 pot of flowers becomes 20 pots!
Taking cuttings of these flowers during the autumn tiger period is not only very simple, but the survival rate is also very high! If everyone is interested, come and take a look!
Osmanthus tree
Osmanthus is divided into August osmanthus and monthly osmanthus. What we are talking about today is August osmanthus, and this kind of osmanthus has an even stronger fragrance! In autumn, the osmanthus tree has basically completed part of its yearly growth. During the autumn tiger period, it is exactly when the new branches are lignifying, and cell division within the branches is very vigorous, making it easy to grow new roots and new shoots. Now is a great time for cuttings!
We only need to cut a small section of tip branch, keep two leaves, and insert them into a medium of plain sand, perlite, or vermiculite. It is best to use vermiculite as the substrate, as vermiculite is loose and breathable, has good moisture retention, and is not prone to infection, which helps the cuttings take root and survive. Water thoroughly, spray a little water every day, keep it moist, and place it in a ventilated place with scattered light. In just a few days, new roots will grow.
Camellia
Camellia is a typical southern flower and very much likes a hot and humid environment. Camellia can be propagated by cuttings all year round, but the autumn tiger period has the highest temperatures and is also the most favorable for camellia branches to take root. Moreover, at this time, like osmanthus, it is also in a state of lignification, so the rooting efficiency will be very high, and after rooting, the growth will be especially vigorous, and it will quickly grow into a small plant!
The method is the same as for the osmanthus tree. Cuttings will survive, and the rooting time is very short, generally only requiring one week.
Aglaia
The aglaia plant is very dense and is a plant with very strong growth momentum. In just over a year, a single aglaia can grow into a spherical crown with a diameter close to one meter, and its ornamental value is very high! After summer, entering the autumn tiger period, the aglaia tree needs to be pruned once, and at this time, we can use the cut branches for cuttings, and they root very easily.
Choose tip branches 10-15 cm long, make a slanted cut at the incision, soak them in rooting water for two hours, then insert them into leaf mold soil, keep the soil moist, and spray water once every morning and evening. After about 10 days, the aglaia branches will grow roots and then new buds and leaves, which means they have completely survived.
Rose
During the autumn tiger period, roses have basically completed a year of growth, but in autumn, roses will bloom once more, which ensures the vitality of the cells in the rose branches. Under such conditions, the rooting efficiency of rose cuttings is very high, and roses are plants whose rooting efficiency increases the higher the temperature. Roses themselves very much like high temperatures and humidity, so seize this opportunity for cuttings, and the effect is extraordinary!
Rose cuttings are especially simple. We only need a piece of foam, soak the cut branches in rooting water, then pass them through the foam, exposing 2-3 cm, with a slanted cut at the incision, and let them float on clean water. In about 7-10 days, roots will grow, and there will be a lot of roots. Once the roots are 2-3 cm long, they can be potted in soil, and they survive very easily.
