6 flowers that are impossible to kill, propagate them in autumn with cuttings, they root as soon as you stick them in and need no care

I'm sure everyone is familiar with cuttings by now. This method of propagation lets you turn one potted plant into many, which is very practical. Today I'd like to introduce a few plants with a very high cutting success rate, so come take a look.

1. How to propagate moss rose (Portulaca grandiflora) by cuttings

Moss rose is also known as "can't die" - just from the name you can imagine how strong its vitality is.

It can be propagated either from seed or by cuttings. With sowing, there's no time restriction, any season works; once the seeds are sown in soil and given some water, they'll survive. For cuttings, you just need to prepare a section of stem, stick it in the soil, water it, and then wait for it to root.

2. How to propagate pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris) by cuttings

Pennywort is generally propagated by division, cuttings or sowing. For cuttings, just prepare a stem with 3-5 nodes, cut off the lower leaves, and then stick it in soil - of course, water and sand work too. Give it an appropriate amount of light and water, and it will root in about 15 days

3. How to propagate ivy (Hedera helix) by cuttings

Ivy is also very easy to propagate by cuttings, and it isn't picky about timing. Prepare a section of stem, poke a hole in the soil, then bury the stem in it, cover it with soil, and it will root in one or two weeks. If the soil dries out during this time, you can water it a little. You can also bury several stems in one hole, which will grow even more plants.

4. How to propagate spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) by cuttings

Spider plant is extremely easy to propagate - the small plantlets at the ends of its stems can be cut off and placed in soil to survive. For cuttings, you only need to prepare the clustered leaves on its stolons; generally choose the type with leaves on top and aerial roots below, then bury it in soil (be careful not to bury it too deep, otherwise it will rot easily). Water it thoroughly, then place it in a shady spot

5. How to propagate bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spectabilis) by cuttings

To propagate bougainvillea by cuttings, you need a loose, breathable substrate that contains no salts, unrotted organic matter or fertilizer. First prepare a stem with a clean-cut end, then stick it in the soil, water it in, and finally seal it with transparent film and place it somewhere without direct sunlight.

6. How to propagate heartleaf ice plant (Aptenia cordifolia) by cuttings

To propagate heartleaf ice plant by cuttings, you just need to insert the stem into soil, water it, and place it in a shady spot. Keep the soil moist during this period, and once it has taken root, move it to a sunny spot for photosynthesis.

The plants above are all very easy to propagate by cuttings, and they may well overflow their pots before you know it, so go give it a try.
