Cuttings never root? Learn 5 little tricks and every potted cutting will take

As temperatures gradually rise, spring has come, the season of warm spring and blooming flowers throughout the year. Flowers, green plants and nursery stock are all slowly beginning to sprout. This is the best season for flower cutting propagation. Among flowers and green plants, rose cuttings have the highest survival rate and are the simplest. In fact, flowers are not that delicate. As long as the environment is suitable, the cutting methods are relatively the same. Below is an introduction to some little tips for flower cutting propagation, that is, how to carry out flower cuttings and some precautions for promoting rapid rooting after cutting, so as to avoid the situation where cuttings do not root after being taken.

1. Take branches in the morning for cuttings

In the morning, the branches of flowers and green plants contain relatively more water. Taking branches for cuttings at this time can ensure that the wounds heal relatively quickly during cutting, and compared with other times they root more easily and survive more easily.

2. Ring-barking cutting method

The ring-barking cutting method is to use the ring-barking method to peel off the outer skin of the selected branch, and then take the cutting. The advantage of doing this is that the entire ring of the ring-barked wound can produce roots, thereby improving the cutting survival rate of flowers and green plants.

3. Choose branches after flowering for cuttings

Generally, after a flower has bloomed, the plant contains the most nutrients. So when branches are taken at this time, because the nutrients are sufficient, they can continuously supply nutrients for rooting after cutting, so the survival rate is very high. For example, for rose, Christmas cactus, geranium, azalea and so on, using post-flowering branches for cuttings is best.

4. Soak branches in water before taking cuttings

When taking cuttings, soaking them several times in clean water can let the cuttings root better. For example, plants such as walnut often use this method for cuttings.

5. Soak branches in vitamin solution

After we have selected the branches for cuttings, we can use vitamins to prepare a vitamin solution, then place the branches to be cut into the vitamin solution to soak. It does not need to be for too long. After taking them out and letting them dry, then take the cuttings. They will root more easily than branches that were not soaked in vitamins.
