Take cuttings of 6 hard-to-kill plants around National Day and every one will fill a pot

Autumn weather is cool, making it a very suitable season for growing flowers. Why say this? Because many plants and flowers have now entered their growth and blooming periods, and almost every day you can see branches getting longer and blooms becoming more vigorous. But Huahua says autumn is even better for taking cuttings!

Taking cuttings is an essential task in growing flowers. Generally, once plants and flowers have grown to a certain extent, they can be used for cuttings. After successful rooting, it is like having several more pots of flowers, which really is a little trick to save money on growing flowers. Today Huahua will recommend 6 kinds of "hard-to-kill" flowers for everyone. Take cuttings of them now and they will sprout faster!

1. Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe, as we know, is a succulent flowering plant. Its blooming period is very long and its flower colors are numerous, very beautiful. Generally, when we take cuttings of kalanchoe, we choose the branches pruned off in daily care, so there is no waste. After choosing the branches, wash them and let them dry. For the cutting soil, try to choose leaf mold, as this can provide enough nutrients. The next step is to insert the cuttings into the soil. After inserting, first place them in a ventilated spot to root, and finally care for them normally.

2. Snake plant

Snake plant is a common green plant kept at home. Its green leaves stand upright and have extremely high ornamental value. There are many ways to take cuttings of snake plant, but black rot also occurs quite often. At this time, we can first cut the snake plant leaves to be propagated into small sections about 10 cm long, then let them dry. Next, prepare a container with water in it, and you can also add some nutrient solution to the water. Finally, put the dried snake plant sections into the water solution.

Snake plant placed in water will easily grow tender shoots. Then we transplant the sprouted snake plant into soil, and the snake plant cutting work is successfully completed!

3. Bougainvillea

Bougainvillea, this flowering plant, easily grows into a pot so full it bursts. Generally, when taking bougainvillea cuttings, we choose some old branches, and a few leaves can be kept on the branches. The cutting soil for bougainvillea is generally sandy soil with good drainage. The branches must be disinfected before being inserted into the soil, so that later pest and disease problems will not be triggered. After cutting, the bougainvillea should first be placed in a ventilated and shady place for care, and after rooting, care for it according to its normal needs.

4. Pothos

When talking about pothos, this plant should be known to everyone. Pothos grows very fast, so it is very suitable for cuttings. For the cutting branches, try to choose semi-lignified branches, as these root more easily. Remember to trim the leaves at the bottom of the branches clean, to prevent them from absorbing too many nutrients. Before cutting, you can dip the branches in rooting water, so the pothos can root much faster. Friends who like pothos can take cuttings now and give it a try!

5. Gardenia

Gardenia's pure white flowers and refreshing fragrance make people really fond of it. When taking gardenia cuttings, we first need to use a foam board. First drill a few small holes in the foam board, then choose healthy and thick branches and insert them in. Next, take a tray filled with water and place it under the foam board full of gardenia branches. In this way, after a few weeks, the gardenia branches will sprout. Finally, transplant them back into soil for care.

6. Rose

Roses have a very strong fragrance and are flowers we often see by the roadside. For rose cuttings, we generally also choose thick branches that have already bloomed, then soak them in carbendazim solution for disinfection. After disinfection, remember to let them dry. The cutting soil for roses can be prepared with perlite and leaf mold. After preparing it, the rose branches can be inserted. Just after cutting, remember not to expose the roses to strong sun; scattered light is enough.

These 6 kinds of plants can be propagated by cuttings around National Day, so they will root and fill their pots faster. Flower friends who like them, hurry up and get started!
