Grow these 5 plants in autumn, and their big white roots will grow like crazy and easily fill the pot

Some woody flowering plants are suitable for cuttings in autumn, such as fuchsia, rose, geranium, jasmine, bougainvillea, and winter daphne (Daphne odora 'Aureomarginata'); the survival rate of autumn cuttings is relatively high. Autumn is still a season with a high incidence of pests and diseases, and plants are easily harmed by pests such as scale insects, red spider mites, aphids, and whiteflies. Diseases include leaf spot and rot of branches and stems. Before potted flowers are brought indoors, these pests and diseases must be thoroughly treated, and they must never be allowed indoors to cause harm; for those with no pests or diseases found, medication can be sprayed for prevention.

The survival rate of jasmine cuttings in autumn is relatively high, so many households take jasmine cuttings in autumn. It should be noted that after autumn cuttings of jasmine survive, they should not be transplanted in a hurry in the same year. This is because jasmine is a cold-sensitive flowering plant; if cuttings are taken in autumn and transplanted in winter, the young seedlings will inevitably struggle to withstand the freezing cold, leading to death by freezing. When repotting, remove part of the old soil and residual roots around the jasmine root system, replace with new potting soil, and improve the soil aggregate structure and nutrients again, which is beneficial to the growth of jasmine. After repotting, water thoroughly just as when potting up, so as to help the roots and soil bind closely and restore growth.

Spider plant is a very common green plant in gardening enthusiasts' homes. Spider plant has strong adaptability, is easy to keep alive, and has low requirements for soil. Its roots and leaves resemble those of orchids, it stays green all year round, and it has a certain air-purifying ability, making it a great green plant choice for many newly renovated households. Spider plant sends out flower stems from the leaf cluster, forming creeping roots with aerial roots on them; cut them off and put them in soil or water and they will live!

Elephant bush, scientific name Portulacaria afra, is an evergreen succulent plant. The leaves of elephant bush are small, but glossy and shiny, fleshy, and very attractive. It is a very good bonsai material; branches are often pruned for shaping, and the pruned branches will live when used as cuttings. Elephant bush can be propagated by cuttings in all four seasons, with fast rooting and a high survival rate in spring and autumn. Let the branches dry in the shade for 1-2 days first, then insert them into the soil.

The succulent plant kalanchoe, also known as "immortal bird," as you can tell from the name, is undying. In fact, many gardening enthusiasts find it more and more annoying the longer they grow it, because it grows too easily; a single fallen plant can live. If you keep it, there is not enough space; if you do not keep it, you are a bit reluctant to part with it. There are several varieties of kalanchoe: broad-leaf, narrow-leaf, and stick-leaf. A single leaf of kalanchoe can sprout two densely packed rows of small plantlets, and its reproductive capacity is especially strong. The suitable growth temperature is 13-19°C, and it can overwinter above 0°C.

Finally, there is pothos. Pothos really does not need to be bought. Ask colleagues, friends, or neighbors for a few cuttings, or exchange varieties with one another; growing flowers is just for fun. The original growing conditions of pothos are in forests shaded by towering trees, so its positive phototropism is not strong. But in the northern autumn and winter, to make up for the lack of temperature and photosynthesis, its light exposure should be increased. The method is to place the pothos in the spot indoors with the best light, or move it to a sealed balcony at noon to bask in the sun. At the same time, when the temperature is low, open windows as little as possible, because in a very short time the leaves may be frostbitten.
