Is it too troublesome to make your own rooting water? Do this and you'll take root in minutes

Circumcision

This treatment method is suitable for woody flowers that are most difficult to root, such as gardenia, rose, etc.

Flower lovers who have been growing flowers for many years should all know that there are two nutrient transport channels in flowers and plants: the sieve tubes in the epidermis transport nutrients from the leaves to the roots, and the ducts in the woody stems transport nutrients from the roots to the leaves.

Therefore, peeling off the epidermis can temporarily block the transport of nutrients from top to bottom, concentrating the nutrients on the injured part.

After a few days of nutrient accumulation, pruning and cuttings can be done. The cut will be well-nourished and rooting will become much easier.

Steps:

1. Select the branches to be grafted, but do not cut them off first.

3. Place the whole plant in the sun to accumulate nutrients for 3 days.

4. Cut the branches obliquely at the ring section.

soften

Darkness can accelerate the formation of root primary tissue, so wrapping paper towels around the branches to be cut to block light will help rooting after cuttings.

Steps:

1. Select the branches to be cut and shade them with paper towels.

2. After about 3 days, the shaded cuttings will turn white and gradually soften.

3. Cut the branches at a 45° angle.

4. Carry out cuttings after disinfection.

soaking

Some cuttings contain their own juice when they are cut, and these juices are likely to affect rooting.

Therefore, after the cuttings are cut, it is best to soak them in water for about 4 hours.

On the one hand, the juice from the incision can be soaked out to avoid blockage of the flower and plant ducts; on the other hand, it can also allow the cuttings to absorb enough water to promote rooting.

Of course, you can soak the incision in potassium permanganate solution to disinfect it!

Tips

Besides that, there are some rooting tips.

1. It is best to cut cuttings in the morning. Because morning is the time of the day when the branches have the most water, the wounds after cuttings heal quickly and the roots will take shape quickly.

2. When choosing cuttings, branches that have bloomed are best. Because the branches after flowering have high nutrient content and high rooting rate.

3. Vitamin B12 solution and aspirin solution can both promote rooting.

Usage: Crush the tablets, add water in a ratio of 1:50 and shake well, soak the cuttings in the solution for half an hour, and then carry out cuttings.
