Pothos and snake plant have a little trigger - open it and they'll grow like crazy to 10 meters

Pothos, snake plant, kalanchoe and other flowers all have a "little trigger" that is not easy to spot. As long as we discover and open this little trigger, they will sprout new shoots like bamboo shoots, shooting up in height in no time. If you don't believe it, give it a try!

Open the little trigger on pothos and it will shoot up 10 meters in no time!

Do you love pothos waterfalls and pothos walls, but no matter how you care for the pothos at home, it still refuses to grow? What should you do? Don't be discouraged - come open its crazy-growth little trigger: aerial roots. I guarantee it will grow into a waterfall in 2 months!

1. What are pothos aerial roots?

On the vines of pothos, several aerial roots of varying lengths grow. They can absorb some water and nutrients from the air to supply the pothos's growth. The more aerial roots there are, the more water and nutrients they absorb, and the faster the pothos grows!

2. How do you make pothos grow more aerial roots?

On one hand, we need to control watering of the potting soil. For example, if you originally watered once every 3 days, now you can water once every 5-7 days, keeping the roots in the soil in a water-deficient state. This way, the vines will quickly sprout several aerial roots to absorb water from the air.

On the other hand, compared with keeping the soil in a water-deficient state, we should also spray more water on and around the vines to create a humid environment, so the aerial roots hurry out to absorb water. In this way, with the two factors working together, the pothos will grow a huge number of aerial roots!

3. How do you care for the aerial roots so the pothos grows faster and faster?

After the pothos aerial roots grow out, we can

place it on a cabinet or flower stand

, let the vines hang down, and then spray water on the ground several more times a day. This way, the pothos vines and aerial roots will desperately grow downward to absorb water, and it will soon grow into a big waterfall!

You can also guide its aerial roots

onto a palm pole

, and usually spray water on the palm pole to increase humidity. The aerial roots will then grow longer and longer, absorb more water, and supply the vines' growth!

Open the little trigger on Christmas cactus and it will whoosh into a big sturdy tree!

Christmas cactus

How do you open the little trigger?

1. When a Christmas cactus branch grows to its 4th leaf segment, we can snap off the 4th leaf segment at the tip, leaving only 3 leaf segments on the branch.

2. After snapping off the tip leaf segment, several small buds will soon grow at the broken spot. If there are too many small buds, you can snap some off and keep only 2-3.

3. The remaining small buds will grow bigger and bigger. When they grow to 4 leaf segments again, snap off the 4th leaf segment again. Repeat this cycle, and the Christmas cactus will develop a particularly dense plant shape!

4. If it is the flowering season but your Christmas cactus has not yet formed flower buds, you can also promote flower bud initiation by snapping off the top leaf segments, so you can enjoy beautiful flowers! But just keep one flower bud per branch, don't be greedy!

Open the little trigger on snake plant and it will sprout 8 shoots overnight!

Although most people can keep a snake plant alive, if it is placed in a corner and shows no new shoots for months, those 3 leaves alone are really frustrating. How can you trigger its little switch and make it shoot out buds in no time? Let's take a look!

How do you open the snake plant's little trigger?

1. Check the snake plant's pot and potting soil. See whether the pot is a deep pot, or whether the soil surface is very compacted. Snake plants themselves do not have well-developed roots. If the pot is very deep or the soil is too compacted, the snake plant's small shoots will have a hard time breaking through.

2. If one of the above conditions is met, we can gently scoop out a layer of soil from the surface, to a depth of about 2-3 cm, exposing the snake plant's surface roots.

3. After that, we don't need to do anything else. Under normal care conditions, in about 1 month the snake plant will sprout many small buds like little bamboo shoots near the surface roots!

4. When the small shoots have grown to about 4-5 cm, fill the soil back in to prevent the snake plant from falling over.

5. After that, give the snake plant more sun and water it once a month with rice-washing water, and the small shoots will grow rapidly! Everyone should usually note that snake plants have shallow roots, so don't use deep pots!

Open the little trigger on roses and buds and shoots will sprout directly and flowers will burst into bloom!

It is another new flowering season for roses, but many flower lovers' roses always have just a few lonely branches, not lush at all, and there are not many flowers to enjoy either. What should you do? Quickly open its little trigger and let it release its tremendous power, shooting out shoots in no time and bursting into bloom!

How do you open the rose's little trigger?

1. If you want to enjoy more flowers, you first need to make the rose branch out more. We can use the method of horizontally pulling the main branches to encourage the rose to send out thick, strong shoots from the roots or trunk, making the rose plant full and covered with flower buds!

2. The method of horizontally pulling the main branches is very simple: use string or a heavy object to pull the rose branches down 90 degrees to both sides, but do not break them, and keep them that way.

3. This will make the rose branches lose apical dominance. In less than 1 week, new rose branch shoots will sprout from the base.

4. If there are especially many shoots, you can keep the 2-3 strongest ones and cut off the rest, so they will not consume too many nutrients.

5. When the new shoots have grown to the same length as the other branches, you can release the bent branches and care for them together. They will bloom especially abundantly!

Kalanchoe

Open the little trigger and every pot will bloom explosively!

If you want kalanchoe to bloom explosively, you need to apply a secret weapon to its leaves: monopotassium phosphate. Once used, it will sprout flower buds in no time, guaranteed to bloom all over the pot!

How do you open the kalanchoe's little trigger?

1. If your kalanchoe still shows no sign of growing flower buds, you can buy a packet of monopotassium phosphate, take a little, dilute it with clean water at 2000 times, and pour it into a spray bottle.

2. Spray the kalanchoe leaves once a week, spraying both the front and back, especially the back, where absorption is better.

3. After about 1 month, the kalanchoe will grow several flower buds. Note: choose 8 or 9 in the morning or 4 or 5 in the afternoon for spraying.

4. After flower buds appear, you can continue spraying the leaves, but once it blooms, do not spray anymore, otherwise the flowering period will be shortened.

Open the little trigger on bougainvillea and flower buds will sprout in no time!

National Day is almost here. Seeing other people's bougainvilleas sprouting flower buds in no time while yours has not a single flower bud, are you anxious? Don't worry, quickly learn from Huahua how to open its explosive-flowering little trigger!

1

.

If bougainvillea does not bloom, you can give it a bit of tough love and control its water, making it feel water-deficient, and then it will hurry to form flower buds!

2. But about 1 month before controlling water, we should bury a small handful of compound fertilizer in the pot (note: apply less, don't burn the flowers) to supplement nutrients for the bougainvillea, so it has the strength to bloom.

3. About 1 month after fertilizing, we begin water control. At first do not water, and only when most leaves are slightly wilted and a few leaves have dropped can you water once, and the amount of water should be half the previous normal amount. During this period, you can occasionally spray a little water on the leaf surface.

4. In this way, keep the bougainvillea leaves wilted for half a day and not wilted for half a day, so the bougainvillea does not grow new leaves and the old branches mature. Do this every day for 20 days, and the bougainvillea will grow flower buds.

5. After flower buds appear, water thoroughly, and once a week apply monopotassium phosphate by root drenching or leaf spraying. After about 20 days, the flowers will bloom all over the pot!

Open the little trigger on rubber plant and it will not stay a bare bachelor but become very lush!

Many flower lovers' rubber plants are just a straight bare stem, shooting up very tall, and leaning every which way. Really unsightly. What should you do? You might as well perform a little surgery and open its lateral bud trigger!

How do you open the rubber plant's little trigger?

1. On the rubber plant's trunk, find a place where you think lateral buds should grow and mark it. This spot should have a leaf. We can remove this leaf as a marker.

2. At about 1 cm above the marked spot where you want lateral buds to grow, use an art knife or utility knife to make two horizontal cuts, with a gap of 0.2 cm between the cuts.

3. The length of the cuts should be half the circumference of the trunk, and the depth of the cuts should reach the xylem of the bark. Flower lovers who don't know what the xylem is can look at the diagram below.

4. At the cut area, sticky sap will flow out. We can sprinkle some plant ash on it. After about 1 month, many lateral buds will successively sprout below the cut area!

5. Making cuts on the rubber plant can block the transport of nutrients above the bud-forcing area and keep the nutrients at the bud-forcing spot below. This way, the buds below will grow vigorously, forming a beautiful umbrella-shaped tree form!
