Are you still spending money on spider plants? Others use this method to take cuttings, it doesn't cost a penny

Osmanthus cuttings

Autumn is the best time for sweet osmanthus to bloom. Since ancient times, it has been known as "Osmanthus flowers fall in the moon, and the fragrance floats beyond the clouds." Therefore, it is perfect to take advantage of the autumn to plant a pot of osmanthus!

Cutting steps:

1. If you want to have a high survival rate of osmanthus cuttings, you must choose healthy cuttings grown in the current year, leaving 2-4 leaves on each branch.

2. Dip the cuttings in some rooting powder or rooting water. If you don't have rooting powder at home, you can also crush an aspirin tablet, mix it with clean water in a ratio of 1:1000, and then soak the osmanthus cuttings in the solution for more than 2 hours.

3. The soil for cuttings can be made by mixing peat soil and perlite in a ratio of 1:1 to make nutrient soil, and then insert the dried osmanthus cuttings into the soil. You can also use pure perlite, but if you use pure perlite, you need to cover the entire flower pot with a plastic bag to prevent water loss.

4. Then place it in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance. In about one month, the cuttings of osmanthus branches will be able to take root.

5. After rooting, plant in pots. The newly grafted roots cannot withstand concentrated fertilizers, so you can just use old soil, which is conducive to rooting. You can insert a piece of plastic board in the middle of the potting soil. If you plant two seedlings in one pot, you can reduce root damage when you divide the pots later.

6. After potting, slowly water it thoroughly, then place it in a cool and ventilated place to grow seedlings for a while, and then move it to the sun.

Tiger skin plant leaf cutting

Sansevieria is probably one of the easiest flowers to grow by leaf cuttings. Not only is it convenient and simple, but it also takes root quickly after cuttings and is especially easy to grow out of the pot. It is extremely easy to operate!

Leaf cutting steps:

1. Select a healthy leaf from the snake plant, and then cut the leaf into small pieces with a sterilized knife.

2. In order to make the roots grow faster, you can soak them in rooting water. If you don't have rooting water at home, you can also go to the roadside to break off a willow branch, then cut it into small sections of 5-7m, and soak it in water for about 10 days. The willow branch extract obtained in this way has the same effect as the rooting agent.

3. Prepare the soil needed for cuttings. You can mix peat soil and perlite (river sand) in a ratio of 2:1, and insert the dried snake plant leaves into the soil. If you want the snake plant to sprout quickly, you can cover the flowerpot with a plastic bag after cuttings, then poke a few small holes and ensure ventilation for 3 hours a day.

4. Place the grafted Sansevieria in a cool and ventilated place. In less than a month, the grafted Sansevieria will take root and grow small buds.

5. Plant the Sansevieria in a pot. Transfer the rooted Sansevieria to a flowerpot and water it about once every 3-5 days to ensure that the soil in the pot is moist. At the same time, apply well-rotted thin liquid fertilizer once every half a month, and the Sansevieria will quickly bloom!

Clivia division

After the Clivia has grown for a few years, it will produce small offspring next to the mother plant. At this time, we can use the method of division to divide the Clivia into pots, so that we can get several pots of Clivia!

Steps for division:

1. If you find that your Clivia at home has produced young plants, and the leaves of the young plants have grown to 3-4 leaves, you can divide the plants.

2. To divide Clivia, you need to prepare the things needed for division in advance: sterilized knives, carbendazim for disinfection, etc.

3. Remove the Clivia from the pot and clean all the soil on the roots.

4. After cleaning, soak the roots of Clivia in the carbendazim solution for about 1 hour, and then place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry.

5. After the roots are dried, use a sterilized knife to cut off the roots with small buds from the mother plant of Clivia. When cutting, it is best to leave more roots on the small sprouts, so that the survival rate can be higher!

6. Apply carbendazim powder on the wound, then place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry, and then you can put it back in the pot. The soil must be loose and breathable nutrient soil. You can mix peat soil and sand in a ratio of 3:1, or add a little pine needles.

7. After re-potting the Clivia, place it in a cool and ventilated place for 2-3 weeks to allow it to adapt to the pot. In this way, one pot of Clivia can become several pots of Clivia!

Chlorophytum runner division

Like Clivia, Chlorophytum can be divided, but the divided Chlorophytum does not need to have its roots washed and repotted.

Steps for division:

1. After growing spider plants at home for a period of time, you will find that many small spider plants have extended from the spider plants. These small spider plants can be propagated by cuttings.

2. If you find that the spider plant in your home has grown small spider plants, you can put a basin of water under the spider plant and place the creeping stems of the small spider plants in the water. You can also cut the small spider plants, poke a hole in the foam, and place the spider plants in the water.

3. In about 1-2 weeks, the spider plant will grow white roots.

4. When the roots of the spider plant grow to more than 3 cm, you can choose to continue hydroponics, or you can choose to transfer it to a flowerpot and switch to soil cultivation. No matter which method you use, you can get new spider plants!

Rose high altitude layering

Many flower lovers left messages to Huahua in the background, saying that no matter how they took cuttings of the roses at home, they just wouldn't survive and died every time they were planted. In this case, why not use the method of high-altitude layering? Not only is it convenient, but rooting is also very fast!

Steps of layering:

1. Ring the cuttings that you want to layer. It is best to choose branches grown in the current year, so that the survival rate of the layering will be higher. If it is a herbaceous plant, you can just cover the branches with soil.

2. Plastic bottles can be used as containers for layering. Cut off the top of the plastic bottle and cut slits on the sides to accommodate the branches. If the branches you want to layer are harder, cut more. Finally, poke a few small drainage holes at the bottom of the plastic bottle.

3. Fill the plastic bottle with nutrient soil, then pass the branches through the gap of the plastic bottle, making sure that the ringed part is inside the plastic bottle, and then water it thoroughly.

4. In about half a month, the rose will take root in the ringed areas, and the rooting situation can be seen through the plastic bottle. Don’t you think it’s very simple?
