Which herbaceous flowers are easy to propagate from cuttings?

Many people love growing flowers, but there are also many who, although they love growing flowers, never try any of the new pleasures of gardening themselves. Many flower lovers feel that propagating flowers from cuttings sounds like a very complicated thing, so they never attempt to propagate their flowers from cuttings, and as a result, whenever they come across a flower they like, they always spend their own money to buy it instead of propagating one themselves. Today Huar Valley is here to introduce some of the greenery that is relatively easy to propagate from cuttings, so that even gardening beginners can easily get cuttings to root and survive.

1. Heartleaf aptenia (Aptenia cordifolia)

Cutting conditions: The best time to take cuttings of heartleaf aptenia is in spring and autumn, and the best cutting temperature is around 15-20°C. In such a season and at such a temperature, the survival rate of heartleaf aptenia cuttings is very high.

Cutting method: Snip off some relatively robust branches, let them dry their wounds in a cool, shaded place, then insert them into sandy soil or ordinary soil and keep the soil slightly moist. After a few days you will see them recover from a wrinkled, soft state to an upright, plump state, which shows that the cutting has succeeded; then you just need to wait for the days to pass and new roots will grow.

2. Dahlia

Cutting conditions: Dahlia is a green plant suited to propagation by cuttings in summer, and the best cutting temperature is around 20-30°C.

Cutting method: Snip off a side branch about 10 cm long, then insert it directly into the soil and keep the soil moist. Within a month new roots will grow.

3. Chrysanthemum

Cutting conditions: Many people probably never imagine that chrysanthemum is also a plant that can be propagated from cuttings to take root. In fact, propagating chrysanthemum from cuttings is not difficult either. It is recommended to do it in April to May, at a suitable temperature of around 20°C.

Cutting method: Chrysanthemum cuttings need to use newly grown branches. Cut a new branch about 10 cm long as a cutting, insert it into sandy soil and keep the soil slightly moist. After about a month new roots will grow, and a brand-new chrysanthemum seedling has been grown! At this point we can pot it up for planting.

4. Goldfish plant (Nematanthus gregarius)

Cutting conditions: The goldfish plant is also a green plant very well suited to cuttings, and it can produce very cute goldfish-shaped flowers. Cuttings of the goldfish plant are best taken in spring and autumn, with a temperature of around 20-25°C being suitable.

Cutting method: Snip off robust goldfish plant branches and insert them into slightly moist river sand. During the cutting period you can mist them regularly; prevent the medium from drying out completely and just keep it slightly moist, and within a month new roots will grow. At this point it can be transplanted into a pot.

5. Mint

Cutting conditions: Mint, as a plant that can cool and relieve summer heat, can also be propagated from cuttings. The best time to propagate mint from cuttings is May to June, with an air temperature of around 25°C being ideal.

Cutting method: Cut a small cutting seedling about 10 cm long and insert it directly into the soil, and it will take root and sprout.

6. Lilac (Syringa)

Cutting conditions: Lilac cuttings are best taken in summer, choosing the time after flowering has finished, and selecting two-year-old branches for the cuttings, about 15 cm long.

Cutting method: We first soak them in rooting powder, then insert them into river sand and just keep the medium slightly moist.
