More and more people love growing flowers, and many flower lovers are fond of plants and flowers. Tending them when there is nothing else to do can both relax the mood and cultivate the character, but to grow potted flowers well, a certain amount of skill and knowledge is still needed.

Just like the little propagation trick for bougainvillea I am sharing with you today. Bougainvillea is a very popular woody flowering plant, because it not only has emerald green leaves, but also in summer and autumn every year it can produce beautiful flowers, with the whole plant full of lush branches and leaves and bright blossoms. The main way bougainvillea is propagated is by cuttings, but during propagation, many flower lovers run into the problem of cuttings rotting and the stems failing to root.

Bougainvillea cuttings are very simple: 1 plastic bottle, 1 stem, dip it in a kitchen "seasoning", and it will quickly grow white roots

Bougainvillea is a woody flowering plant, so before taking cuttings you must prune reasonably. Cut a healthy stem of the current year's growth from the mother plant, a 10 cm long stem is enough, cut the bottom at an angle to increase the area for the plant to absorb nutrients, keep one leaf at the top, then soak the bougainvillea stem in a 1:100 white sugar water solution for 30 minutes, which can effectively promote rooting of the stem.

Prepare a clean mineral water bottle, then put 1 cm of clean water in the bottle, then put the base of the bougainvillea stem that was dipped in sugar water into the clean water, put the whole stem in the plastic bottle, open the bottle cap, and place it in a spot on the balcony with scattered light. Inside the plastic bottle, the bougainvillea stem can both receive sufficient light and grow in an environment with high humidity and suitable temperature. In about 1 week, the bougainvillea can grow white roots. After continuing to care for it for two weeks, once the roots have grown sufficiently strong, you can cut open the plastic bottle and plant the bougainvillea stem directly into soil.

This method of using a plastic bottle to grow roots on stems works for many flowers at home, such as Chinese rose, Christmas cactus and kalanchoe, and can effectively promote rapid rooting of the plant. As the saying goes: grow flowers, grow roots. For any flower, during cultivation you must first let it grow strong roots, and only then can it later grow stems, leaves and flowers, so for any flower, the first thing is to cultivate its root system.

It is also autumn now, the time when the bougainvillea flowering period ends, which is suitable for bougainvillea stem cuttings. If you like bougainvillea, you can use this method to get a potted bougainvillea, and the effect will certainly be very good. Plant bougainvillea this year, care for it carefully next year, and two years later it can produce beautiful flowers.
