In the next month, these 8 kinds of flowers will survive if planted in the soil and can bloom in autumn and winter!

Cuttings of bougainvillea will bloom in winter

Cutting steps

1. Choose strong branches grown in the current year, avoid old branches (which take root slowly) and tender branches (which rot easily); just keep a pair of leaves on the top and place them in a ventilated place to dry.

2. Dip the cuttings in some yellow mud, or soak them in rooting water for a few hours, and then insert them into floral mud or sponge blocks soaked in water, about 4/5 of the depth. After inserting, place in a tray filled with shallow water.

3. Place the floral mud in a tray filled with shallow water and maintain it in diffuse light. If the air feels very dry, you can cover the tray with a film and poke a few holes for ventilation.

After a week, if you see that the leaves are still firm, it means that the plant is in good condition and roots have started to grow at the bottom.

4. At this time, you can find a few disposable paper cups, drill holes in the bottom, fill them with half a cup of culture soil, bury the floral mud, and spray water every day to keep it moist.

When the leaves grow bigger, they should be gradually exposed to direct sunlight. You will see obvious root growth in about 15 days.

5. At this time, add more soil into the cup and continue to cultivate it. After the condition stabilizes, start transplanting and planting. During the growth process, pinch the top 2 to 3 times continuously to promote the sprouting of side branches.

If the temperature in the south is suitable, it will bloom before winter, but in the north it usually takes until next spring to bloom.

Cutting of Kalanchoe, buds appear in 1 month

The entire branch of Kalanchoe can be propagated by cuttings. It becomes increasingly difficult to root from top to bottom. The terminal buds, young branches of the current year, and branches that have bloomed take root quickly, while woody stems and old stumps have difficulty taking root.

Cutting steps

1. Select the newly grown terminal buds of the year, with 2 pairs of leaves. Make sure they are in good condition and free of disease. Place them in a cool place to dry the wounds.

2. Mix the cutting medium with nutrient soil, perlite and coconut brick soil, insert the top bud into it, place it in a dark and ventilated place first, and then gradually increase the light.

3. Water thoroughly after cuttings, and keep the soil slightly moist when it is dry. In the first week of cuttings, keep the plant in a dark and ventilated place, and then gradually increase the light. It will take about 10 days to take root.

4. Start transplanting one month later. The soil should not be too wet. It is best if it can be held in a ball and can be scattered when released. Do not water too frequently. Water when the soil is dry. Be sure to increase ventilation, otherwise it is easy to cause black rot.

5. For well-grown cuttings, buds will appear after 3 to 4 weeks of short-day treatment. After buds appear, expose them to more sunlight, add some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and water less.

Cutting chrysanthemums will bloom after 3 months

Cutting steps

1. You must choose tender branches grown that year as cuttings, with a length of about 10 cm. Remove most of the leaves, leaving 2 to 3 leaves on the top, and then place them in a cool place to dry the wound.

2. Prepare the cutting medium by mixing river sand and peat soil. After spraying it with water, use a small wooden stick to poke a few small holes 3 to 4 cm deep. Then put the cuttings in and gently compact them with your hands.

3. After cuttings, water thoroughly, place in a cool and ventilated place, spray water every day to keep moist, and it will take root in about 20 days.

4. Transplant one week after rooting, gradually increase the light during this period, and after the acclimatization period, expose the plant to more sunlight to grow more flower buds. Some varieties can be propagated by cuttings in October so that you can enjoy the chrysanthemums during the Chinese New Year.

Cuttings of Christmas cactus will take root in 10 days

Cutting steps

1. When pruning Christmas cactus, cut off the dense stems and remove 1 to 2 nodes to make cuttings.

Apply some rooting powder to the base of the cuttings to increase the rooting rate.

3. Mix pine needle soil, perlite and vermiculite to make the cutting medium. Spray it with water until it is half wet before cutting, then put the cuttings in and water it thoroughly. Place several cuttings in one pot, maintain good spacing between plants, and you won’t have to transplant them later.

4. Cover the flowerpot with a plastic bag, leaving some holes for ventilation. Open the bag and spray water every 2 to 3 days. New buds will emerge after 10 days. At this time, remove the bag and manage it normally.

Camellia cuttings make management easier

Cutting steps

1. Select healthy semi-lignified branches, each section is 10 cm long, and keep 3 to 4 leaves on the upper part. Cuttings that are too short will not root easily.

2. Soak the branches in raw water and take them out to dry after 5 minutes.

3. You can use vermiculite or pure sand as the cutting medium. Spray it wet and insert the cuttings into it. Water it thoroughly and then cover it with a layer of plastic bag. Don't forget to poke a few holes for ventilation.

4. Place the flower pot in a cool and ventilated place, water it every 2 days, and it will take root in about a month. After taking root, it can slowly expose to direct sunlight.

Cutting azalea, one branch can fill a whole pot

Cutting steps

1. Cut a 8-10 cm long semi-lignified branch and remove the leaves at the base. Cut off half of the upper leaves to reduce water evaporation.

2. Use pine needles and humus as the cutting medium, bury some small stones at the bottom of the flowerpot as a water filter layer, spray the medium with water, then put the cuttings in and water them thoroughly to keep them moist.

If there are a lot of cuttings, you can put them all in a foam box for cuttings, with a cutting depth of about 3cm.

3. After the cuttings are completed, water them thoroughly, then cover them with a plastic bag and place them in a cool place. Open the bag and spray water every day. They will take root after one month and many small buds will grow after two months.

4. Start transplanting at this time. It is best to transplant with soil in the pot. After potting, place it in a place with scattered light for maintenance, spray water every day to keep it moist, and after half a month, expose it to direct sunlight. With normal maintenance, it will bloom in March of the following spring.

Osmanthus fragrans cuttings can also grow outdoors in winter

Cutting steps

1. Cut a semi-lignified branch of the current year, 8 to 10 cm long, and keep the two leaves on the top.

2. Soak the branches in carbendazim or potassium permanganate solution. After 30 minutes, take out and dry them.

3. The cutting medium is a mixture of loose, breathable acidic soil, perlite and vermiculite. After spraying the substrate wet, poke a few small holes and place the cuttings in.

4. After the cuttings are completed, water them thoroughly, place them in a place with diffuse light, spray them with water every day, and when the soil is almost dry, water them along the edge of the pot. They will start to take root in about 20 days, and new leaves will grow after 1 month.

Geranium cuttings can bloom in 3 months

Cutting steps

1. The terminal buds left when topping the geranium can be used for cuttings. Use scissors to cut above the bud point between the two nodes. Move quickly to reduce damage to the branches.

It is best to keep a bud point on the cuttings

Let the cut dry

2. The cutting medium is a mixture of peat, perlite and river sand. First, use a chopstick to poke a few small holes in the medium, put the cuttings in, and press them down slightly.

3. If the medium is very wet, no watering is required after cutting. If it is too dry, it must be watered thoroughly once, then placed in a cool place and exposed to light after 3 days.

4. There is no need to cover and keep moist during the whole process. Gradually increase the light. The shorter and stronger the cutting seedlings are, the faster the flower buds will appear.

Note: When taking cuttings, it is best to plant them at the edge of the pot, where there is no water accumulation, so they are not easy to rot, take root quickly, and have a high survival rate.
