This is what you should do in early autumn so that the flowers will not die or be injured and will bloom brilliantly!

How to breed and become a big family

sowing

Common plants that can be sown now include:

Violets, petunias, gloxinias, cornflowers, cyclamen, geraniums, begonias, oxalis, nasturtiums, etc.

Sowing steps (using violets as an example)

1. First prepare a seedling box. When transplanting seedlings, just take out the soil and put it into the flowerpot. It is very convenient.

2. Fill the seedling box with soil, with peat soil and river sand each accounting for half. Sow 3 seeds in one grid of the seedling box, keep them apart and not too close, and then cover them with a thin layer of soil of 0.05 cm. Insert the label.

2. Use a watering can to soak the soil thoroughly. Do not water directly, as this will wash away the seeds. Covering it with plastic film will facilitate germination.

3. If you find that the soil is dry and slightly white, use a spray bottle to spray it until it is moist. In about 2 weeks, you can see sprouts.

4. After sprouting, it grows very fast. Basically, it's different every day. At this time, you still need to water by spraying. If you water directly with a lot of water, the newly grown roots will be washed out.

5. When it grows to the size shown in the picture below, it can be transplanted into a flowerpot. This is what the sowing head needs to do in a month. After transplanting, maintenance does not require such meticulousness. Water when the soil is dry and wet, expose the soil to the sun frequently, and pay attention to ventilation.

Cuttings

Plants that can be propagated from cuttings now include:

Hibiscus, Michelia, rubber tree, oleander, pomegranate, chrysanthemum, Schefflera, Daphne, Milan, hibiscus, jasmine, fig, crape myrtle, admiralty, etc.

Cutting steps (using chrysanthemum as a demonstration)

1. Chrysanthemum is easy to propagate by cuttings, and the success rate of cuttings is very high now. Choose healthy young branches that have not yet formed buds and flowers, and only keep 2 or 3 leaves on the top, removing all others.

2. Trim the cuttings. Cut off the branches that are too long at the bottom, leaving about 8cm of length at the top.

3. Prepare clean plain sand as the cutting medium, and use chopsticks to poke a hole in the sand. This way you won't get the broken section at the bottom of the chrysanthemum.

4. Carefully insert the chrysanthemum branches and gently press down the surrounding sand. Moisten the sand with a watering can.

5. After about 2 weeks, the chrysanthemum will take root.

How to trim and shape

Plants that can be pruned now include:

Salvia, marigold, rose, Milan, jasmine, pomegranate, holly, crape myrtle, globe amaranth, etc.

Pruning steps (using geranium as an example)

1. The branches of geranium will become woody in the second year, but the woody branches will no longer bloom in the next year, and will only bloom on new branches grown that year. Therefore, geraniums should be heavily pruned after blooming in autumn, so that the plant shape will be better looking and there will be more flowers next year.

2. Cut off all the branches grown that year, leaving only the woody trunk and the main branches on it. The pruning method is to keep about 5 cm of the main trunk and cut it off at once with sharp scissors to ensure that the cut is smooth.

3. Leave a few old leaves for photosynthesis. About 7 days after strong pruning, new leaves will grow, and the old leaves can be removed at this time.

This is basically the most important thing to do now.
