As the saying goes: grow flowers, grow roots. For any kind of home potted plant, the root system is very important to it, because only with strong roots can the plant fully absorb nutrients and supply them to the branches and leaves, and then grow emerald green leaves and bloom beautiful flowers.

So the root system is very crucial and important for plants. When growing flowers, you must learn to nourish the roots of the flowers, especially for some cuttings plants, such as Christmas cactus, kalanchoe, snake plant, jade plant, Chinese rose, gardenia, lucky bamboo, and so on. When taking plant cuttings, you must choose a suitable rooting agent to speed up the growth of the plant's roots.

Today I will teach you to make 5 common rooting agents at home. They can not only be used when taking plant cuttings, but can also be poured into the flowerpot during daily potted plant care to speed up the growth of the plant's root system, and also make the whole plant become emerald green and strong.

White sugar

White sugar is a kind of seasoning that every household has. In fact, adding white sugar to clean water to make an aqueous solution is a very good rooting agent. Especially when taking plant cuttings, mix white sugar and water at a ratio of 1:100 (1 part white sugar to 100 parts clean water), fully dissolve it, then soak the trimmed cuttings branches in the white sugar water solution for 30 minutes. After taking them out, insert them into clean river sand or perlite, and the branches can take root in 1 week. The survival rate of cuttings is as high as over 90%. Especially when taking cuttings of Chinese rose, camellia, and gardenia, the effect is very obvious.

Salt-free rice vinegar

After being diluted with water, salt-free rice vinegar is also a very good plant rooting agent. For example, when taking cuttings of Chinese rose and kalanchoe, the branches can be soaked in rice vinegar water solution, which can effectively promote the branches to take root. Choose salt-free rice vinegar and mix it fully with water at a ratio of 1:500, soak the trimmed branches in the rice vinegar water solution for 20 minutes, take them out and let them dry, then insert them into the prepared substrate, and strong roots can grow in about 10 days.

Willow branch water solution

Willow branches are rich in salicylic acid, and salicylic acid has the effect of promoting plant rooting and sprouting. So when taking plant cuttings, you can prepare some water solution soaked with willow branches to soak the cuttings branches, which can effectively speed up the rooting speed of the cuttings branches.

In spring, choose strong, emerald green willow branches, trim them off and soak them in clean water for 1 day, then you will get a light yellow water solution. When taking plant cuttings, soak the trimmed branches in the willow branch water solution for 1 hour, then take them out and insert them into the substrate. This can effectively speed up the rooting speed of the plant. Of course, during daily flower growing, you can also pour the willow branch water solution directly into the flowerpot to promote strong growth of the plant's root system.

Aspirin tablets

Aspirin tablets are anti-inflammatory tablets commonly kept at home. In daily life, if you have expired aspirin tablets, do not throw them away. When taking flower cuttings, you can use 1 tablet with 500 grams of clean water to make a water solution and use it to treat the cuttings branches. Soak the trimmed branches in the aspirin water solution for 30 minutes, which can effectively speed up the rooting speed of the branches. Moreover, aspirin has the effect of disinfection and inhibiting bacteria, and during the cutting process it can prevent the branches from black rot.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 has the effect of promoting plant growth. When taking plant cuttings, you can also mix vitamin B12 with water and use it to soak the cuttings branches. Generally, prepare the water solution at a ratio of 1:500, then soak the branches in the vitamin B12 water solution for ten minutes, and inserting them into the substrate can promote the branches to take root.

These 5 common plant rooting agents are not only convenient and simple to make, but also can be used immediately when needed in daily use, and the rooting effect is very good. Their effect is much stronger than rooting powder. You can also, during daily flower growing, mix these five things with water and pour them into the flowerpot, which can effectively promote plant growth.
