Don't buy a live flower with just one leaf, no matter how cheap it is

1 Geranium

Although geranium flowers are small, they come in a variety of colors and are very beautiful when clustered together. This is a flower that Huahua likes very much! Since this flower is so beautiful, what can we do to make it more beautiful?

Leaf cutting method

1. Select strong geranium leaves and place them in a ventilated place to dry for a while to allow the wounds to dry.

2. Large vermiculite, sand or perlite can be used for cuttings. If you use a plastic paper cup without holes in the bottom, you can keep the water level at about 1 cm at the bottom of the cup and insert the geranium leaves into the soil.

4. Transfer the rooted geranium to the soil. After that, apply liquid fertilizer about once every 10-15 days, water when the soil is dry, and spray water on the leaves frequently.

2 Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe comes in a variety of colors and is very easy to grow. Every time Huahua sees Kalanchoe at the flower market, she wants to bring a few pots home! If you don’t want to buy them, you can use leaf cuttings to propagate a few more pots!

Leaf cutting method

1. Select healthy Kalanchoe leaves and place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry them to ensure that the wounds are dry.

2. The soil for cuttings can be peat soil or garden soil. Bury the dried leaves and petioles in the soil, leaving the leaves exposed, and then place them in a cool and ventilated place.

3. The time for Kalanchoe cuttings is relatively long. Huahua once waited for 6 months. During this period, if you find the soil is dry, just water it slightly to keep the soil moist.

4. Wait until you find that the Kalanchoe has taken root, then transfer it to a flowerpot.

3. Money Tree

Because of its good meaning, more and more flower lovers now keep a money tree at home. If you use leaf cuttings to propagate the money tree, and one pot becomes many, doesn't that mean you are getting richer and richer?

Leaf cutting method

1. Select healthy money tree leaves and place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wounds.

2. For the soil for cuttings, you can choose to mix peat soil, perlite and river sand in a ratio of 3: 1: 1 to make nutrient soil, and insert the leaves into the soil.

3. Keep the soil moist. You can touch the surface of the soil in the pot with your hand, and water it if you find it is dry. It will usually survive in 2 weeks.

4. You can change the pot after the roots have taken shape. In the future, you need to ensure that the water is poured thoroughly once and until it flows out from the bottom of the pot.
