Propagating Cuttings From Annuals
There are several popular blossoming yearly that can grow from cuttings .
By “ yearly ” we mean non - intrepid flowering plant we typically grow for a single summertime mature time of year .
Thebest timeto take cuttings is inspringwhen the plants are immature and the stems have several sets of leave of absence but have not started to bud or flower .
Cuttings can be rooted inwateror moistpotting mix(here is somepotting mixat Amazon ) . The method are essentially the same for all of the plant number below .
Whilerooting hormonemay be recommended in some tutorial , it ’s often not necessary . Tender , young industrial plant like these ones are prompt to root without assistance . It ’s woody , slow - growing “ hardwood ” cuttings ( not the plant life listed here ) that benefit from it .
Once your annual cuttings are rooted ( have produce roots ) , you could transplant them into youroutdoorsummer garden or attempt bringing themindoorsfor the wintertime . Some like geraniums ( Pelargoniums ) can blossom indoors with great ebullience while others like zinnia may produce smaller but ( still ) beautiful heyday .
I always recommend taking several cutting at a prison term , trying an assortment of plants , both in weewee and potting intermixture .
Some may root , others will not .
And , if nothing work , do not give up . Only the plant knows when the condition are just right — even if we think we ’re doing everything perfectly .
Keep rummy and keep try !
