It's hot now. If you don't take cuttings now, you won't have a chance.

1. Clematis cuttings

Procedure

1. When cutting clematis, you need to choose slightly tender branches and avoid completely woody branches. Because slightly tender branches are more sensitive to the stimulation of rooting powder and are easier to grow roots.

2. Cut the branches short, about one section per node or two sections per node. Soak the branches in the vitamin B solution for 2 hours, take them out, shake off the surface moisture, dip the ends of the branches in a little rooting powder, and put them in a bag for later use.

3. Put perlite in the seedling box, dig a small hole in the perlite, and put the clematis branches that need to be grafted into it.

4. After all the branches have been planted, use a spray bottle to spray water into the seedling box so that the roots of the branches can quickly merge with the perlite.

5. Cover the seedling box with a transparent lid and place it in a ventilated and diffused light place for maintenance. Avoid direct sunlight, otherwise the branches will easily die from overheating. Flower lovers who don’t have a seedling box can also put a plastic bag on it to prevent moisture evaporation.

6. Open the lid to ventilate the plant about every two days. At the same time, use a spray bottle to spray some vitamin B solution on the leaves. This can not only keep the leaves moist, but also promote rooting.

7. When you see white roots emerging from the bottom of the small box in the seedling box, you can transplant it into a flowerpot. The soil for transplanting can be made by mixing perlite, vermiculite and peat soil in a ratio of 1: 1: 1 and using it as nutrient soil. You can then place it in direct sunlight and water it when the soil is dry.

2. Cutting of Bougainvillea

Procedure

1. You can buy a piece of floral mud from a flower shop and cut it into small pieces of 2cm in length, 2cm in width and 4cm in height according to the needs of cuttings. Flower mud has good water absorption, moisturizing and air permeability, and is very suitable for cuttings.

2. Select branches that have become lignified or semi-lignified in the current year, with a length of about 10-15cm. Leave 2-3 leaves on the upper part, cut a 45-degree slant on the lower part of the branch with a knife, and soak it in rooting water.

3. Insert the processed bougainvillea branches into the floral mud block at a depth of about 2/3 of the floral mud block, then soak the floral mud block in water. Before cuttings, you can soak them in 1% rooting water for about an hour.

4. Place the grafted seedlings in a tray, cover them completely with a plastic bottle, and place them in a place with sufficient diffuse light, making sure they remain moist and breathable. Check the clay block regularly. If it is dry and causing the leaves to wilt, water it immediately. Only branches with intact and vigorous leaves can take root and survive.

5. After about 30 days, you will find white roots coming out of the flower mud, which proves that the bougainvillea cuttings have survived.

6. At this time, you can put the floral mud block and the rooted bougainvillea in the flowerpot for maintenance. The floral mud block can be placed directly in the flowerpot. There is no need to dig it out and then plant it like sand planting, thus avoiding damage to the root system of bougainvillea. After that, apply fertilizer every 7-10 days to promote the growth of bougainvillea.

3. Cutting of African violets

Procedure

1. You can choose healthy leaves from the mother plant of African violet for cuttings.

2. Cut a 45° angle at the bottom of the picked African violet leaf to form a slope, then soak the bottom of the leaf in rooting water for about 3 seconds and take it out to dry.

5. After about 20 days, the cuttings of the African violets will take root. Then you can transplant the rooted African violets into flowerpots. The soil should be mainly leaf mold and pine needle soil. Place them on the east or west balconies to receive scattered light.

4. Hydrangea cuttings

Procedure

1. Select branches for cuttings. The branches for cuttings must be healthy, dark green, and slightly hard to the touch semi-lignified branches, preferably those close to the roots. It is best to cut the cuttings in the morning, and then use a small brush to brush off the dirt and covering on the branches.

2. Use scissors to trim the cuttings, leaving at least one node on each branch, and the lower end of the node should be at least 3-5cm long. It is best to keep a pair of leaves, which can be beneficial to photosynthesis and promote rooting.

3. In order to make hydrangeas take root as soon as possible, you can place the trimmed branches in a rooting powder solution for about 3 seconds, or soak willow branches in water to make your own rooting water.

4. The soil for cuttings can be a mixture of peat soil and perlite in a ratio of 1:1. Fill the seedling box with soil, then place it in a tray filled with water and soak it for more than 30 minutes, making sure that all the soil in the seedling box is wet and there are no dry spots.

5. Insert the hydrangea branch node end 3-5cm into the soil, and try not to let the leaves touch each other, otherwise the leaves will easily rot and become infected.

6. Place the seedling box in a well-ventilated place that is not exposed to direct sunlight. Use a spray during this period, spray water 1-2 times a week to keep the soil moist. Roots will begin to grow after about 3 weeks.

7. The method to determine whether it has taken root is: gently pull upwards with your hands. If you feel resistance, it means the hydrangea has grown roots and can be transferred from the seedling box to the flowerpot. After that, place it in a semi-shaded environment to keep the soil moist, and water it with alum fertilizer every 10-15 days.

5. Cuttings of Gloxinia

Procedure

1. Use a knife to cut a leaf from the mother plant of Gloxinia, preferably cutting it at a 45° angle.

2. Cut the cut Gloxinia leaves into small pieces like normal vegetables.

3. The soil for cuttings can be sand, vermiculite or peat soil. Bury the leaves of Gloxinia in the pot, the height of which should be about 1/2 of the leaves. Then cover it with a lid to keep it moist and place it where it can receive scattered light.

4. After about half a month, the cuttings of Gloxinia leaves will take root. After rooting, it can be transferred to a flowerpot and placed in a living room or east balcony with good diffused light for maintenance. There are many hairs on the leaves of Gloxinia. When watering and fertilizing, be careful not to let them get on the leaves, otherwise the leaves will easily rot.
