Can Impatiens be propagated by cuttings?

Can Impatiens survive from cuttings?

A flower lover's Impatiens was pecked off by a chicken. He wanted to pick it up and throw it away, but he forgot about it and just stuck the branch into the soil in the pot.

Unexpectedly, after a week, when I remembered to throw it away and went to pull out the branch, I found that it had a root system of nearly two centimeters long!

It was really an unexpected success! So, do you still believe what the ferryman said, "Impatiens can only be sown and not propagated by cuttings"?

Impatiens cutting method

Choose a seedling tray with a specification of 10×10. The cultivation medium can be peat ash: sawdust: vermiculite = 4:3:3, and put it into the seedling tray.

When taking cuttings from the mother plant, the cuttings must retain three nodes. When taking cuttings, gently insert the cuttings into the substrate, taking care not to lose the cuttings as much as possible.

Water immediately after cuttings, then spray with 1000 times dilution of thiophanate-methyl, spraying for 10 minutes every 30 minutes to ensure that the leaves are moist but no water accumulates and flows down.

It will take 10 to 14 days to take root, and the rooting survival rate is over 98%. When it grows to 10 cm, leave 2-3 nodes and pinch off the tip. In this way, each node can produce 3-5 branches, and after 10 weeks, the finished product with a crown width of 30-50 cm can be formed.
