Osmanthus cuttings: use this kind of mud and white roots show in 7 days, better than rooting water

Growing flowers, I believe, has gradually become a habit for many people now. When they have nothing to do, they also like to place two pots of green plants and flowers at home to please the eye and pass some leisure time. Living every day in a world of greenery and floral fragrance, our minds can also gain great satisfaction and comfort.

Many flower-growing enthusiasts like to visit flower markets, so that when they find flowers they like, they can buy them and take them home to care for. But some flower lovers also like to do their own cuttings, so they can get a new pot of flowers without spending money. Taking cuttings is a skilled task, but there are still clever tricks to be found, just like this kind of "mud." Now when we take osmanthus cuttings, if we use a little of it, we can see big white roots emerge in a week!

It is said that in golden autumn osmanthus fragrance drifts for ten li. Indeed, keeping an osmanthus at home not only lets you smell its pleasant fragrance, but the flowers you pick can also be used to make pastries and candied fruit, so it is truly both beautiful and practical. Right now is exactly the growth and flowering period of osmanthus. Take a few cuttings at this time, and by next year you can harvest more and more fragrant osmanthus. Worried that cuttings will not survive well? Dipping the branches in a little mashed potato can solve it. This is also the mashed potato cutting method that Huahua wants to introduce to everyone today!

The mashed potato here is very simple to make, and the raw material is also sprouted potatoes, which can count as recycling waste.

In the first step, we first deal with the sprouted potatoes at home, then put them into a pot and boil them.

In the second step, the boiled sprouted potatoes need to be placed in a cool place to dry, then pressed into mash.

In the third step, the pressed mashed potato needs to be diluted with water into a mashed potato solution, at a ratio of about 1:50. Finally, this mashed potato water can be used to take osmanthus cuttings.

When using the mashed potato water, you only need to put the osmanthus branches to be cut into it and soak them for a period of time, then insert them into the prepared soil medium and it is done. Because the mashed potato is made from sprouted potatoes, after potatoes sprout they produce a large amount of acidic substances, and these acidic substances happen to promote rooting and sprouting of branches, so if we soak the branches in mashed potato water, we can increase the sprouting speed of osmanthus branches.

Using this method for osmanthus cuttings, I believe the survival rate will be greatly improved. Apart from cuttings, the daily care of osmanthus is actually also crucial.

1. Osmanthus is a long-day flower, so when caring for it at home, try to give it sufficient light. This can promote flower buds to emerge quickly, and the number of flowers will also increase.

2. Osmanthus likes a high-temperature, dry growing environment, so pay attention to watering less. In autumn and winter, it only needs to be watered once in the morning, to avoid water accumulation in the pot.

This mashed potato water can not only be used for osmanthus cuttings, but is also equally suitable for flowers such as Chinese rose and jasmine. Flower lovers who like it can try it at home, and perhaps get a different surprise!
