4 kinds of flowers you don't need to buy, just break off a branch and stick it in a pot, roots in 3 days and they grow more vigorously the more you care for them

More and more people are growing flowers and plants now. First, let me ask you a question: where did the flowers you grow come from? Surely some came from the flower market, and others from the internet. No matter which way you buy flowers, it costs quite a bit of money. In fact, some flowers don't need to be bought at all - with a single branch or leaf you can propagate a whole pot by cuttings. So which flowers are so easy to grow? Next, Potted Plant Nook has summed up the following 5 easy-to-grow flowers for flower lovers: no need to spend money to buy them, just break off 1 branch or leaf, toss it in a pot, roots in 3 days, and they grow more vigorously the more you care for them!

Pothos cuttings: bury a branch and it lives

Pothos is the most common houseplant around, and how easy it is to grow really needs no explanation. Pothos has very tenacious vitality - casually break off a branch and bury it in soil and it will quickly take root and grow. Of course, propagating pothos by cuttings has some finer points. For the potting mix, for instance, you must choose a loose, fertile sandy loam rich in humus. Adding barnyard manure, soybeans and so on as a base fertilizer to the mix from the start can speed up the pothos's establishment. Some flower lovers have grown pothos several meters long, which is also the result of proper fertilization.

Rose cuttings: bury a branch and it lives

Roses are also one of the most common flowers. Using scissors, cut its branches into 10 cm sections, and if you plant them in a pot at this time of year, they will take root in three to five days and grow new tender leaves within a month. You could say it's a relatively easy flower to grow. Add to that the rose's bright blooms and fairly long flowering period, and it has always been a favorite balcony flower among flower lovers. One thing to note when caring for roses is that watering must be appropriate. Normally water once every three days; if the potting soil gets too dry, it is bad for strong roots and makes yellowing leaves and early flower drop more likely.

Snake plant cuttings: bury a branch and it lives

The snake plant, known as a natural plant air purifier, has a fairly strong ability to absorb formaldehyde and other harmful gases, so it is very suitable for growing indoors in the living room or bedroom. The snake plant's ornamental value is also very high; its slender leaves reach straight up into the clouds, and its upright appearance carries a fine symbolic meaning too. Snake plant leaves can also be used directly for propagation by cuttings. The specific method is very simple: just use scissors to cut a mature snake plant into sections a few centimeters long, then find a suitable pot and stick them in the soil. Note that right after planting, keep them out of the light and place them in a cool, ventilated spot for two or three days, then move them to bright, indirect light for care.

Geranium cuttings: bury a branch and it lives

The geranium is a flower that is truly worth growing, since its blooms are very bright and it is a typical balcony flower. The geranium's flowering period is also fairly long. This flower doesn't need to be bought either - one pot at the flower market costs dozens of yuan! As long as you have one or two branches, you can absolutely propagate it by cuttings. Just like in the picture above: find some sandy soil, dip the geranium's small branch in a bit of rooting powder, and then stick it straight in. Water once every two days; at the fastest, in less than a week it will grow big white roots, and within a month it will grow new leaves. After that you can transplant it into a larger pot for care.

The above are flowers that are easy to propagate by cuttings. Flower lovers really must give them a try! Besides these, spider plants, figs, bougainvillea, camellias and so on can all be propagated from branches by cuttings too.
