These 8 kinds of flowers need to be cut in summer to take root and grow rapidly

Azalea

Summer has high temperature and high humidity, which is a good season for azalea cuttings to take root easily. Cutting steps: 1. The selection of cuttings for azalea is very important, and summer is the best time for cuttings. Because during the several months from sprouting in spring to growing in summer, the branches become strong and mature, neither too tender nor too old. 2. Prune the grafted azalea branches, remove 1-2 leaves at the bottom of the branches, and also remove the tender buds at the top, leaving only about 3 cm. Because of the high evaporation rate in summer, it is necessary to spray water immediately after pruning, and then place the plants in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wounds.

Poke a few small holes in the bottom of the foam box to aid drainage. 4. Place broken tiles or expanded clay on the holes at the bottom of the foam box, as long as the soil does not leak.

Place about 5 cm of coal slag or sand or other well-permeable soil at the bottom of the foam box, and then spread about 8 cm of nutrient soil on the sand and coal slag, and then water it thoroughly to prevent the soil from being too dry and absorbing the moisture in the branches. 6. Insert the azalea branches into the soil to a depth of about 2-3cm. After the cuttings are done, water them a little to ensure that there is no gap between the branches and the soil.

Cover the foam box with a layer of transparent film to prevent moisture evaporation, then seal it with tape or something like that, and place it in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance. It will take about 10-15 days to take root. Because the root system of azalea is relatively small, it needs to be potted with soil and directly transferred to the flowerpot for maintenance.

camellia

Summer is also a good time for camellia cuttings. Cutting steps: 1. Select strong camellia branches and trim them from the mother plant. 2. Soak in rooting water for about 1 minute, take out and place in a cool and ventilated place to dry.

Milan flowers

Summer is also a suitable season for Milan cuttings. Cutting steps: 1. Place the Milan branches trimmed from the mother plant in the rooting water solution and soak for about an hour. Then take them out and place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry. 2. The soil needed for cuttings can be made by mixing peat soil and perlite in a ratio of 2:1 to form nutrient soil, and then watering it thoroughly until water is seen flowing out from the bottom.

Find a small bucket, fill it with soil and water it thoroughly, then use wire and wooden sticks to make a supporting frame. 5. Put the cut Milan into a small bucket, then wrap the bucket with a plastic bag and make a small hole at the bottom for ventilation.

It will take about one and a half months or two months for Milan to take root. After taking root, you can directly transplant it into a pot.

Hydrangea

Summer is the best time for hydrangeas to bloom, and it is perfect to use branches that have bloomed for cuttings. Cutting steps: 1. Select strong hydrangea branches that have bloomed, trim them from the mother plant, then remove the lower leaves, leaving about 8-10cm cutting branches. 2. Apply a little rooting powder on the base of the branches and place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry.

Insert the hydrangea branches into the soil and water them thoroughly until water is seen flowing out of the bottom tray. 5. Place the grafted hydrangeas in a cool and ventilated place, such as a north balcony. It will take about a month to take root.

Gardenia

The temperature is high in summer, so we usually prune gardenias. The pruned branches are just right for cuttings. 1. Choose strong branches from the pruned ones, cut off the leaves at the bottom of the branches, and then place them in a cool and ventilated place to let the wounds dry before cuttings.
2. Make a hole in the bottom of a disposable paper cup and fill it with sand. 3. Insert the dried gardenia branches into the prepared disposable paper cups, and then water them thoroughly.

You can open the film every once in a while, and water the plants when the sand becomes dry. The plants will take root in about a month.

Jasmine

July is the peak flowering period of jasmine. Using branches for cuttings at this time is the fastest time for rooting! Cutting steps: 1. For jasmine branch cuttings, you can choose branches that have finished flowering, or you can directly choose strong branches for cuttings.
2. Prune the jasmine branches, leaving about 2 leaves on each branch. 3. Soak the pruned branches directly in the carbendazim solution for about 2-4 minutes. You can also apply carbendazim directly on the wound and then place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wound. 4. The soil for cuttings can be perlite, vermiculite or peat soil. Simply plant the dried cuttings directly into the soil.
5. Cover the seedling box with a lid to prevent moisture from evaporating easily. It will take about a month for the jasmine cuttings to take root. 6. After the jasmine has taken root, you can directly transplant it into a flowerpot and take care of it.

Osmanthus fragrans

The best time for osmanthus cuttings is from May to July, and now is the end of the season! Cutting steps: 1. For osmanthus cuttings, be sure to choose woody branches grown in the current year, so as to increase the survival rate of the cuttings.
2. For the soil for cuttings, you can choose peat soil and perlite, and mix them into nutrient soil in a ratio of 2:1. If you use pure perlite, be sure to cover the surface of the potting soil with a thin film, otherwise the moisture will evaporate too quickly and cause the potting soil to dry out. 3. Soak the osmanthus branches in the carbendazim solution for about half an hour, then take them out and place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry. 4. After watering the soil thoroughly, plant the osmanthus branches into the soil. 5. It will take about a month for the osmanthus branches to take root.

Rubber Tree

The minimum temperature for rubber tree cuttings to take root is 15°C, so summer cuttings are also great! Cutting steps: 1. When cutting rubber trees, be sure to choose strong branches from the mother plant so that they can easily take root. About 12-15cm is enough. In order to prevent the loss of nutrients from the white glue in the branches, you can scald the bottom in boiling water.
2. Soak the branches in the carbendazim solution for about half an hour, and then place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry. 3. For the soil for cuttings, you can choose to mix peat soil and sand in a 1:1 ratio to make nutrient soil. 4. Insert the trimmed rubber tree branches into the soil and water them thoroughly. They will take root in about a month at most.
