Choose these 4 flowers for autumn cuttings, beautiful and easy to grow
If you ask what autumn is best for, gardening experts will definitely say: cuttings, of course! Why is autumn the best time for cuttings, and why are cuttings so good that many people rush to do them?
Don't underestimate cuttings. If you have plants at home, you can make them more lush and vigorous through this simple act of taking cuttings. And if you don't have plants at home, you can cut a branch from a friend's house, bring it home, and after planting it as a cutting, it will grow into a new potted plant! It doesn't cost any money either, so it's really simple and convenient!
So today Huahua will tell everyone which plants are suitable for cuttings in autumn, easy to grow, and highly ornamental?
NO.1
The ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) is very suitable for cuttings in autumn. Cut off a branch and stick it in soil and it will survive, but this soil can't just be any soil. We should use sandy soil suitable for ZZ plant growth. This kind of soil has good drainage and very good aeration, so it is very suitable for ZZ plant growth. After taking cuttings and caring for them carefully for a period of time, once the ZZ plant has taken root, you can give it appropriate sunlight.
NO.2
Snake plant (Sansevieria) is also a green foliage plant that everyone likes very much. Because this plant has no branches or stems, you can only use leaves for cuttings. Since the leaves are relatively fragile, everyone must be gentle when taking cuttings. After taking snake plant cuttings, you need to pay special attention not to water too much. Don't ask me how I know, it's all painful experience. Just don't make the same mistake.
NO.3
Few people take cuttings of rubber tree (Ficus elastica). Actually, many people don't know that rubber tree cuttings are also very easy to do. Cut the branch of the rubber tree at an angle and insert it into new soil. At the same time, make sure the potting soil stays moist. If you have the conditions, you can apply a little rooting powder before planting, which can speed up the rooting of the rubber tree.
NO.4
Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) is a plant that almost everyone takes cuttings of. Proper cuttings can make the spider plant look more vigorous. After a soil-cultured spider plant grows new shoots, you can cut off the shoots and put them in soil or water to grow them. Putting them in soil can make the spider plant grow more vigorously, while growing them in water lets you enjoy the fun of hydroponic spider plants. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Besides the plants Huahua mentioned above, there are also pothos, lucky bamboo, aloe, and other plants that can all be propagated by cuttings in the good season of autumn. If you want the flowers you grow to become more numerous and more vigorous, taking cuttings is a good method.
Although these plants are all green-leaf plants and cannot bloom, they are by no means inferior to those flowering plants. If you look carefully, they have their own charm too!
