Which plants are suitable for propagation by cuttings and can survive just from pruning?

I believe many flower lovers' gardening process is like this: once a plant dies, they immediately throw it away, then go to the flower shop to buy a new one, always repeating this cycle of buying flowers. How much money has been wasted on this process? But don't worry! Starting from reading this article, you can break free from being ripped off by flower sellers. Below, we will explain several easy-to-root plants for cuttings. You only need to casually snap off a small branch from a friend's plant and bring it home, and you can propagate new plants, saving a lot of wasted money and gaining a full sense of achievement.

Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe is an easy-to-care-for plant with good adaptability. In daily care, it only needs a warm, sunny environment to bloom with branches full of flowers. Propagating kalanchoe is also relatively simple. You can choose spring or autumn, cut healthy branches, and insert them diagonally into loose, well-draining potting soil. Inserting about 2 cm deep is suitable. Afterward, just keep it warm and water lightly, and it will quickly take root and sprout.

Aptenia cordifolia

Aptenia cordifolia is a plant very suitable for indoor care. Its leaves are emerald green and tender, and its blooms are brightly colored and highly ornamental. It can also be used as a cooking ingredient. For daily care, as long as it receives enough scattered light and the potting soil is kept moist without waterlogging, it is very easy to grow lush and full. Its propagation can use the cutting method. Select a robust, disease-free branch, cut a stem about 5-10 cm long, let it sit for a moment until the wound dries, then insert it into sandy soil or humus soil. Afterward, keep the potted plant temperature above 15°C, the soil slightly moist, and after 1-2 weeks it will take root and sprout.

Cuban oregano

Cuban oregano is a green plant that releases fragrance when touched. Many flower lovers love to place it on their office desks. It grows very fast and easily fills the pot. For care, it can be placed in a location with scattered light and watered frequently, as long as waterlogging is avoided. To propagate Cuban oregano, the most common cutting method is direct cutting. First, select healthy, pest- and disease-free young branches from the mother plant, cut them into small sections about 10 cm long, and keep 2-3 leaves at the top. Then insert them directly into sandy soil, keep the temperature above 17°C, keep the soil slightly moist, avoid direct strong sunlight, and soon they will take root and sprout.
