These 6 kinds of flowers have to be propagated by cuttings in summer, otherwise it will be too late!

Blue Snowflake

In addition to hydrangeas, Huahua’s favorite blue flower in summer is the blue snow flower! In such hot weather in summer, if you have a pot of cool blue snow flowers, you don’t even need to turn on the air conditioner!

Steps:

1. When pruning the branches of blue snow flower normally, the pruned branches can be used for cuttings. Trim off the bottom branches, leaving 3-5cm of smooth stems, and leave branches and leaves in the upper part.

2. Prepare a disposable paper cup, poke a few holes in the bottom of the cup, then fill the cup with vermiculite, insert the blue snow flower branches into the cup, put a tray with water at the bottom, and place it in a place with good scattered light to wait for rooting.

3. The temperature is high in summer, and it only takes about 10-20 days for you to see the blue snow flowers growing white roots!

4. After rooting, transplant the blue snow into a pot. First place it in a cool place for 1 week, then place it in a well-lit place with plenty of water and sunshine, and soon the blue snow will grow out of the pot!

Rose

The roses beside the green belt bloom so beautifully in summer. Every time I pass by after get off work, I can't help but want to pick a few to take home. Yesterday I finally secretly picked two, and I felt so happy!

Steps:

1. When cutting rose branches from the roadside, it is best to choose those sturdy semi-woody branches. It would be even better if they are branches that have bloomed, because branches that have bloomed have accumulated more nutrients and the rooting rate will be higher! Cut the lower end into a horseshoe shape.

2. When pruning the rose branches, generally only 3-4 leaves should be left, which are sufficient for photosynthesis. The rest should be cut off to avoid unnecessary nutrient consumption.

3. Soak the pruned rose branches in carbendazim or potassium permanganate solution for more than 20 minutes to achieve the purpose of sterilization and disinfection, then take them out and place them in a cool place to dry the wounds.

4. Prepare the medium for cuttings. You can use peat, vermiculite and perlite in a ratio of 1:1:1 to make nutrient soil, put it in a disposable paper cup, then insert the dried rose branches obliquely into the soil and place it in a cool and ventilated place.

5. The temperature is high in summer, and the survival rate of cuttings is greatly improved. It only takes about 10-20 days for the rose cuttings to take root!

6. If you have pure sand at home, you can also choose to use sand or sponge blocks for cuttings, the rooting rate is also very high!

7. After the rose takes root, it only takes one month for you to see the root system covering the entire disposable paper cup. At this time, pour the entire rose out of the cup, prepare loose and breathable nutrient soil, and move it to a large pot.

Hydrangea

Speaking of the most popular flowers recently, hydrangea is definitely the first choice! As the most popular flower to grow in summer, don’t you want to take some cuttings now so that you can have more hydrangeas blooming next year!

Steps:

1. Now is a good time to propagate hydrangeas by cuttings, especially since many flower lovers’ hydrangeas have already withered. Cutting off the withered flowers and branches and propagate them by cuttings is the fastest way to root them!

2. Trim the branches slightly after flowering, cut the lower end into an oblique surface with a sharp knife, and retain half of the upper leaves to prevent excessive nutrient consumption. You can apply some rooting powder on the bottom of the hydrangea branches, and then place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wound.

3. Prepare a disposable paper cup, poke a hole in the bottom of the paper cup, mix perlite and vermiculite in a 1:1 ratio, then insert the trimmed hydrangea branches into the disposable paper cup, and then place the paper cup in a tray with water.

4. Place the cuttings in a place with good diffuse light and spray regularly to ensure humidity. It only takes about 20 days for the cuttings of hydrangea branches to take root!

5. Transplant the rooted hydrangea branches into the flowerpot. First place it in a cool and ventilated place to cool for 1 week, and then place it in a place with bright diffuse light for maintenance. As long as you take good care of it, the hydrangea will bloom next year!

Bougainvillea

As a northerner, Huahua is extremely envious of the patches of bougainvillea on the roadsides in the south. After all, every time they bloom, they form a wall of flowers, which makes Huahua really envious and jealous!

Steps:

1. If you encounter bougainvillea on the roadside, you can cut a thick branch and bring it back, and then directly plant it at home. You can trim the branch slightly to 7-10 cm per section.

2. Soak the bougainvillea branches in the carbendazim solution for 3-5 hours to increase the rooting rate.

3. Mix the rooting powder and yellow mud prepared in advance together, knead it into a yellow mud block, then insert the bougainvillea branch into the yellow mud block 2-3cm, and then wrap the lower end of the bougainvillea branch and the yellow mud block with toilet paper.

4. Put the processed bougainvillea branches into a plastic bucket. To ensure the humidity, you can find a plastic bag and wrap the entire plastic bucket.

5. You can mix rooting powder and potassium dihydrogen phosphate in a 1:1 ratio to make a solution, and then spray it on the leaves of Bougainvillea. It only takes about 20 days for the cuttings of Bougainvillea to take root!

6. After rooting, transplant the bougainvillea together with the yellow mud into a large pot. Prepare loose and breathable soil in a large pot. After transplanting, place it in a cool place for 1 week, and then move it to the sun. Soon the bougainvillea will grow more and more vigorously!

Milan

Summer is the best time to grow a pot of Milan at home. Although the flowers are very small, they bloom in large patches each time. Put a pot in the house and the fragrance will linger for a long time. It smells super good!

Steps:

1. Select strong semi-lignified branches from the Milan mother plant, cut them off and trim them slightly, each branch should be about 5-8cm.

2. Mix rooting powder with 100 times water to make a rooting agent, then soak the pruned Milan branches in the rooting water for 10-20 minutes, then take them out, wash them with water, and place them in a cool place to dry.

3. Prepare a clean plastic bottle or disposable cup, mix peat soil and vermiculite in a 1:1 ratio to make nutrient soil, and then insert the dried Milan branches directly into the soil.

4. The rooting of Milan cuttings is very slow. Although the temperature is high in summer, it still takes 2-3 months for rooting to take place. Therefore, flower lovers must be patient and do not pull out the branches frequently to see if they have taken root.

5. Put the rooted Milan into a pot. After potting, place it in a cool and ventilated place for 1-2 weeks, then move it to the sun to get more sun, and it will grow up quickly!

camellia

A few days ago, a flower lover asked Huahua, is it still possible to propagate camellia at home by cuttings in such hot weather? Huahua tells everyone: Of course you can!

Steps:

1. Select strong semi-lignified branches from the camellia plant. The so-called semi-lignified branches are the new branches that have just grown that year. When they begin to turn from green to brown, the branches at this time are most suitable for cuttings.

2. Slightly trim the cut semi-lignified branches, leaving 1-2 leaves on each branch, cut off the rest of the leaves, and then soak them in rooting powder solution for 1 hour, then dry the wounds in a cool and ventilated place.

3. Mix yellow mud and river sand in a ratio of 2:1 to make the soil needed for cuttings. After watering it thoroughly once, insert the camellia branches into the soil and then place them in a cool and ventilated place.

4. It only takes about 20 days for the camellia cuttings to take root! After rooting, transplant it into a pot.

In fact, in addition to the ones introduced by Huahua,

Like azalea, hibiscus...

All of them can be propagated by cuttings in summer!

Dear flower lovers, why don’t you try it in the summer?
