Five Flowers with a High Cutting Survival Rate

Autumn is the season when many flowers are propagated by cuttings, but taking cuttings always sounds like it is not so easy, and many gardening enthusiasts run into all sorts of problems when taking cuttings. What is more, in many cases the survival rate after taking cuttings is not very high, which gives many gardening enthusiasts a headache. Today, the editor will introduce several flowers with a high cutting survival rate, and enthusiasts who like them might as well give it a try.

Pennywort

Pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris) has small, round leaves that are very cute, and many friends keep a pot of pennywort at home. Seeing the little green leaves every morning lifts your mood a lot. The cutting method for pennywort is also very simple: cut a section of pennywort stem, about 4 nodes is enough, then trim off the lower leaves and place it in water or soil, either is fine. Then put it on the balcony and shade it properly. After about half a month, new roots will grow.

Mint

Mint (Mentha) is green and very cute, and mint is also very easy to keep alive; a section of stem thrown into soil can survive, and in about one week it can grow new shoots. Mint generally likes to grow in a semi-shaded environment, and the air is best kept somewhat humid, which makes it easier to survive.

Bougainvillea

I believe many gardening enthusiasts have taken cuttings of bougainvillea (Bougainvillea), but the survival rate just cannot be raised. When we take cuttings of bougainvillea, the soil should preferably have good air permeability and water permeability, which makes it easier to survive. Just insert the cut stem into the pot and it is basically fine. After inserting it, add a little water and put it all in a place with fairly good shading.

Heartleaf Ice Plant

Heartleaf ice plant (Aptenia cordifolia) is especially beautiful when it blooms, with bright red flowers that are very pretty. Heartleaf ice plant is also very easy to care for and has low requirements for soil; ordinary garden soil is fine. Take a whole stem, insert it into the soil, then put it in a semi-shaded place, and in one month it will grow many leaves, with quite rapid growth. Moreover, heartleaf ice plant can also be eaten, either as a cold salad or stir-fried.

Moss Rose

Moss rose (Portulaca grandiflora) looks very beautiful when it blooms, small and very cute. Moreover, inserting moss rose stems into soil also makes it very easy to survive. Just pinch off a stem at random, insert it into the soil, pour a little water, and it will quickly take root and sprout. And cuttings can be taken all year round.
