Christmas cactus and kalanchoe sprout bearded roots in a cup of water in three days, and you'll have more than you can give away

Although it's much cooler now, the autumn tiger is still pretty hot, and the temperature difference between day and night is big. Christmas cactus and kalanchoe are most likely to die at this time... Luckily, we can still take cuttings now. Huahua quickly pinched off a few leaves and put them in water, and they rooted in a week!

Christmas cactus cuttings

Earlier Huahua said Christmas cactus goes dormant in summer, so why is it still restless now that autumn has arrived? It's actually because the temperature difference between morning and evening is big: the low is around 20 degrees and the high is over 30 degrees, so Christmas cactus easily dies. We should hurry and leaf-propagate a few pots now to be safe!

1、

Choose relatively healthy leaves, preferably with more than 2 segments, and just snap them off at the node~

2、

After removing them, you can apply some carbendazim or white flour to the wound, just a tiny bit stuck on is enough, to avoid bacterial infection.

3、

Prepare a glass bottle, fill it halfway with water, put the Christmas cactus in, and just let the bottom 2-3 cm soak in the water.

4、

Water-propagated Christmas cactus is best placed on a cool windowsill, not in the sun, and the water should be changed about once every 3 days. The water is best if it's tap water that has been left to sit for half a day.

5、

For a healthy Christmas cactus, you can usually see small white shoots emerging in 1-3 days. If it's slower, don't worry; as long as the leaves don't die, there's still hope.

6、

For a Christmas cactus that has sprouted, don't rush to move it to soil; continue water propagation for another half a month to let the root system stabilize~

7、

When the roots grow to 2 cm long, it can be planted in a flowerpot. After potting, water thoroughly, then place it on a ventilated windowsill or hallway, and wait until the soil is dry before watering a second time. If the air is usually dry, you can spray water mist around the leaves to keep them moist~

8、

After it adapts to soil for a week, you can consider giving it sun. Just 1-2 hours of morning sun each day is enough, and definitely don't give it too much sun! Still keep watering only after the soil dries, to make sure it doesn't die~

Christmas cactus that has rooted from cuttings can bloom from October to February of the following year. It's simply a blooming machine with ultra-long standby time. Everyone should hurry and take cuttings now~

Kalanchoe leaf cuttings

Many flower lovers grow kalanchoe at home. I don't know how they fared through the summer this year. Don't let them finally make it through summer only to die in early autumn! Hurry and pick off a leaf, throw it in water, and it will root.

1、

Kalanchoe is also a succulent, and it can also be propagated from leaves. Pick off a few leaves, apply some carbendazim, or soak them in sugar water for 10 minutes, then let them dry for half an hour after soaking, which can promote rooting.

2、

Insert the dried kalanchoe leaves and flower stems into a small-mouth water bottle. It's enough for the water to cover about 2 cm; if they soak too deep, they easily rot black.

3、

Water-propagated kalanchoe should avoid light. It's best placed on a cool windowsill or table at home, and the water should also be changed every 2-3 days.

4、

Kalanchoe sprouts quickly, but you must keep up water propagation until the roots grow to more than 2 cm before moving it to soil, which is safer.

5、

When transplanting, it's best to use loose sandy soil, firm the soil, then water thoroughly, and let it recover in a cool place for a week before normal care.

Kalanchoe can also bloom from autumn to winter. Everyone should pick a few more leaves and take cuttings now. By the New Year, there will be so many kalanchoe at home that there's no room for them all!
