Christmas cactus

”

-Snake plant-

For cuttings, choose healthy and relatively thick leaves, cut them into lengths of about 5-6 cm, and cut with a flat cut rather than a slanted or curved cut.

After cutting the cuttings, do not rush to plant them; leave them in a cool place to dry, and planting after the wounds have dried can prevent root rot.

Insert the dried cuttings into sand or vermiculite, leaving about half exposed above the soil surface, keep the soil moist, and they will root in about one month.

-Christmas cactus-

Choose healthy Christmas cactus with thick leaves as material, take 1-2 mature stem segments, and let them dry. For the potting soil, choose soil that is breathable, well-draining and nutrient-rich. You can add some perlite or vermiculite to it.

Insert the prepared cuttings into the potting soil, and water only after the potting soil dries out; they will root in about 1-2 weeks.

-Chinese trumpet creeper-

Late autumn and early winter are very suitable for soil cuttings of Chinese trumpet creeper, and the survival rate of Chinese trumpet creeper cuttings is extremely high. Select healthy branches of Chinese trumpet creeper that have grown for more than two years, cut them into cuttings 10-15 cm long, and note that the upper cut should be flat, while the lower cut is best made slanted.

After cutting the cuttings, do not rush to plant them; let them dry in a cool, airy place for about half a day, and then planting will give better results. Once the cuttings are ready, you can plant them; the planting depth is about 1/5 of their length, keep the soil moist, and they will root in about 20 days.

-Hydrangea-

Choose sturdy branches, prune the branches so that only one node remains, and remove half of the leaves as well to prevent water loss from being too fast. Cut the upper cut of the cutting flat and the lower cut slanted.

Water the prepared potting soil thoroughly, and disinfect the cuttings with a fungicide. Insert the part below the node into the soil, then place the flowerpot in a tray, add an appropriate amount of water to the tray, so the water will move upward through the soil and the soil will stay moist all the time.

They will root in about 20 days, and can be moved to another pot at one month.

-Bougainvillea-

From the bougainvillea plant, select vigorous and somewhat thicker branches as cuttings, generally branches that are woody (hard to the touch, not soft), so the germination rate is a bit higher and they are easier to keep alive.

After selecting the branches, cut them into cuttings about 15-20 cm long, with the upper end cut flat and the lower end cut slanted. First use chopsticks to make holes in the potting soil, then insert the prepared cuttings, about 4-6 cm deep, and they will root in about 30 days.

-Ivy-

Ivy cuttings are taken from the top of its branches; pinch off a section of branch about 30 cm long, cut it into cuttings 10-15 cm long with 3-4 nodes, and keep 1-2 leaves at the upper part.

For the soil, it is best to choose soil with strong breathability, and for the flowerpot choose a container with good drainage; using a plastic bottle with a few holes poked in the bottom to make one directly is also very simple and convenient.

Use chopsticks to poke a few small holes in the soil, insert the cuttings into the soil at a depth of about 5 cm. They will root in about 20 days.
