How to grow gardenia roots in water

1. Select branches

When rooting gardenia in hydroponics, choose branches with good growth. The branches cannot be too thin and weak, and there must be no bacteria or insect eggs on them. Only when the cuttings used are healthy enough will the roots take root faster and easier after hydroponic cuttings.

2. Pruning

It is best if the branches have 3 nodes. Use scissors to cut off the leaves at the base and only keep 1-2 leaves at the top. If too many leaves are retained, water evaporation will increase. The lower incision of the branch is cut into a horseshoe shape. If the middle branch is used, the upper end of the cutting should be cut flat. If conditions permit, it is best to disinfect with potassium permanganate.

3. Prepare the container

Prepare a clean hydroponic container. Clean the inside of the container and make sure there is no dirt inside. Pour clean water into a bottle or flowerpot. It would be best if there is a strainer in it, or add a piece of foam board in the bottle.

4. Hydroponic cuttings

Insert the pruned branches into the container. Before they take root, you need to change the water every 1-2 days. It will take about 10-15 days for them to take root. When the roots of the branches grow to about 7cm, they can be transplanted.
