Why won't the cutting roots grow?
This is an explanation about the issue of cuttings not rooting in the field of green plants and flowers. Keep reading for more information!
This year, the flower seeds sown in autumn were not protected by an insect net and there was no time to spray pesticides in time. As a result, the seeds were bitten by insects as soon as they germinated. The roses cut and planted in the sandy soil also had no time to be transplanted. Perhaps some gardening friends might think that I'm boasting when I say this, but after all, many of us have difficulties with cuttings not rooting or seeds not germinating.
Actually, everything follows certain rules. If you still can't figure it out after watching my articles and videos on cuttings and sowing, don't worry. I recommend you plant the following flowers, which do not require cuttings or sowing. They produce so many offshoots that even a large pot can't hold them.
1. Spider Plant
Many gardening friends are very familiar with spider plants. They are common indoor potted green plants that love to produce offshoots. The hanging parts of the spider plant are all young plants.
If the spider plant is planted in the ground, the hanging offshoots will root and grow into new plants when they touch the soil. For potted spider plants, if you want the offshoots to grow into separate pots, you can prepare a flower pot with soil, place it next to the spider plant pot, put the hanging offshoots on the soil, and keep the potting soil moist. It won't be long before the offshoots will root in the soil and can be cut off.
Or you can directly cut off the hanging offshoots and plant them in potting soil or hydroponics, both of which are easy to survive. In hydroponics, be careful not to add too much water, as excessive water level can cause root rot.
2. Snake Plant
Having trouble with cuttings not rooting?
Snake plants also love to produce offshoots. Many gardening friends want to propagate their own snake plants, but the cuttings often fail to survive. In fact, snake plants easily burst with offshoots and can be propagated quickly by dividing the pot.
If you want snake plants to burst with offshoots, you need to ensure sufficient fertilizer and water. During the summer when they grow vigorously, you should fertilize frequently. If you are busy and don't have time to fertilize, you can use long-acting controlled-release fertilizer, or bury 4-5 cooked soybeans around the edge of the pot. Do this 1-2 times a month.
When there is sufficient fertilizer and water, snake plants easily produce offshoots. When the offshoots grow to a certain size, you can divide the pot and turn one pot of snake plant into multiple pots.
Before dividing the pot, reduce watering so that the soil is dry, making it easier to operate. Turn the snake plant out of the pot, clean off the soil, and then cut the roots apart with a sharp utility knife. Let the cut wounds dry in a bright and well-ventilated area before replanting.
3. Rainy Flower
Rainy flowers are also called chive flowers because they look like chives.
Rainy flowers are extremely tenacious and can survive by just touching the soil. Previously, when the Green Plant Enthusiast Network was building a greenhouse, the rainy flowers dug from the ground were thrown on the concrete ground and exposed to the sun for many days, but they all germinated after being planted.
