Rely on these 7 points to grow flowers in autumn. Once you learn them, your pots will be full of flowers!

Cuttings

The temperature drops in autumn, which is a good time for cuttings. If you do it at this time, the cuttings will take root very quickly!

1. Cut off a branch with buds from the rose branch, then apply some carbendazim on the wound, or soak it in carbendazim solution for more than 10 minutes to promote disinfection.

2. You can use pure sand or vermiculite for cuttings, so that rooting will be faster. After cuttings, water them thoroughly once, then place them in a cool and ventilated place to grow slowly for a while.

3. You will soon find that the rose cuttings have taken root. After rooting, you can directly put it in the pot. The soil must be loose and breathable. If you take good care of the rose after cuttings, it will grow up quickly!

Division

Flowers like spider plants and clivias are mainly propagated by division.

1. For example, Clivia often produces small offspring. At this time, the division operation should be carried out.

2. Remove the Clivia from the pot, clean the soil on the roots, soak the roots with carbendazim, dry the roots, cut off the roots with small buds with a sterilized knife, and then soak them in carbendazim for disinfection.

3. After drying, put it back in the pot. The soil for potting must be loose and breathable nutrient soil. For Clivia, you can add some pine needles or something like that. After that, place it in a cool and ventilated place for a period of time to let the seedlings grow slowly, and then you can maintain it normally.

Increase light exposure for dormant flowers

After a hot summer, many dormant flowers have begun to grow gradually. Plants like Christmas cactus, Kalanchoe, geranium, etc. can also be moved from a cool and ventilated place to the sun and taken good care of.

Apply more fertilizer

1. After entering autumn, many flowers begin to enter the growing season, so be sure to apply more fertilizer. For plants like green ivy and spider plants, more nitrogen-containing fertilizers should be applied, such as homemade rice water, fish tank water, and bean cake water.

The process of retting rice water:

1. Collect the water after washing rice in a bottle, and then expose it to the sun. Open the lid to let it breathe after about 5 days.

2. The temperature is still relatively high now, so the fermentation will be done quickly. After composting, water the flowers at a ratio of 1:20. The flowers at home grew more and more vigorously after using rice water!

2. For flowers like roses and jasmine that need to bloom in autumn, it is best to apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote flower bud differentiation and facilitate flowering. For example, you can spray 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, or make your own fish intestine fertilizer, Chinese medicine residue fertilizer, etc., to fertilize roses and other flowers. This will allow more and brighter flowers to bloom in autumn!

Fish intestine composting:

1. Get some fish intestines from the fish intestine seller in the market, put them in a clean plastic bottle, add some water and expose them to the sun. Open the lid to let it air out every 3-5 days.

2. It will take about 3 months for the fish intestines fat to be fermented. After fermentation, mix fish intestine fertilizer and clean water in a ratio of 1:20 and use it directly to water the flowers. Fish intestines contain more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, which are most suitable for use on roses and jasmine!

Control the amount of watering

1. For flowers that are dormant in summer, the amount of watering should be increased in autumn. For example, Kalanchoe can be watered once every 5-7 days, and geranium can be watered 1-2 times a week. Just water it when you find the soil in the pot is dry.

2. For general flowers, the amount of watering must be reduced in autumn. Because the temperature in autumn has begun to drop, if you continue to water like you do in summer, it will easily lead to excessive growth or even root rot. The best time to water is around 8 am or 6 pm, so that the water temperature is close to the room temperature.

Reasonable pruning

If you want the flowers to grow well, you must prune them in autumn. This can avoid consuming too many nutrients in winter, which will result in no flowering next time. When pruning in autumn, remember to do so lightly, and never too much, otherwise the flowers will lose their resistance and will be frozen to death in winter.

When pruning, be sure to cut off all dead branches, diseased branches, overgrown branches, and overly dense branches to keep the plant in good shape.

Repotting

From spring to autumn, the roots of most flowers are almost filling up the pots. At this time, you can take advantage of the cool autumn weather to repot.

1. Remove the flowers from the original pots, clean the roots, cut off some old roots and weak roots, and then soak them in a carbendazim solution for about 20 minutes.

2. Let the roots dry and then repot. The potting soil must be loose and breathable to ensure that the roots will not rot. After potting, water it thoroughly once, then place it in a cool and ventilated place for a period of time, and then switch to normal maintenance.
