How to pot up flower cuttings after they have rooted

Potting up flowers means transplanting the cuttings into a flower pot after they have rooted and grown true leaves.

Since many flowers can be propagated by cuttings, this method is also very widely used in the flower industry, but if you do not understand how to pot up flowers and blindly transplant and pot them up, even the easiest flowers to grow will be killed.

Potting up flowers is actually not all that complicated; as long as you pay attention to these aspects, you basically will not kill the flowers.

Choosing the flower pot. You should choose the pot according to the size of the plant, the variety, and the growth rate of the flower, with a pot diameter of about 10 cm being best. If it is too large, it is hard to control the water and fertilizer amounts.

Wait until the plant resumes growth before applying additional fertilizer.
