When it comes to gardening, you might be surprised by how easy and cost-effective growing your own plants can be. It’s never been easier than now with a wide variety of cuttings available at most stores that cater specifically for plant lovers!
The easiest way is by taking cuttings from existing healthy plants in the garden or even friends who are green thumbs themselves because they give away their spare clippings to help others get started without breaking the bank on expensive materials like pots, soil, fertilizers etc.
To grow plants from cuttings, you will need a few things. This planting technique can be mastered with ease once it gets going.
Plant cuttings are typically categorized into four different groups: semi-hardwood, hardwoods, greenwood and softwoods. We’ll give you a quick definition of each type along with some plants that fall under these categories.
In addition to the types listed above, there are other methods for taking plant cutting such as tip or basal cuts; although they aren’t quite common practices it can work well in certain species of plants.
Semi-hardwood cuttings, also known as semi-ripe cuttings are best taken in midsummer to early fall. These plants generally come from mature trees and should be harvested when the leaves begin changing color or after they have fallen off.
The camellia is widely known for its large, show-stopping flowers that are perfect to showcase in any garden. Camellias grow exceptionally well from cuttings and can even be propagated through a branch or leaf cutting!
Azaleas are a beautiful flowering plant that can add color and life to any garden. They’re easy to grow from just about anything – even a semi-ripe cutting!
This popular shrub is often used in bouquets because it has an aesthetic appeal. The plant grows quickly after a cutting, and can be grown from any type of medium including hardwood or semi-hardwood cuttings.
In order to preserve a plant, one needs hardwood cuttings. A good example of this is Angel’s Trumpet which produces trumpet-shaped flowers that grow on vines.
Hardwood cuttings are taken from perennial plants and the best for these types of plants would be those like Angel’s Trumpet as they produce beautiful white trumpets with an intoxicating scent in large clusters at intervals along their stems.
Greenwood cuttings are the perfect option for those who want a plant that cannot be grown from seed. These plants will always have green leaves and can come in various shapes, sizes, colors or textures to better meet your needs!
If you’re looking for an easy way to grow new flowers without having any skills whatsoever then Greenwood Cuttings is right up your alley.
You’ll never run out of options because these types of plants don’t need woody stems so they’re available all year round with fresh selections every time you visit our store.
Gardenia flowers are so fragrant, they produce a scent that will fill your nose with joy. The delicate fragrance is the perfect way to give someone you love their own little piece of happiness in this crazy world we live in today.
With over 20,000 variations in the dahlia species alone, gardeners need to be creative when planting these beautiful flowers.
Many people know that there are more than just red and yellow varieties of this flower – but did you know they come with a range of colors?
From pinky-purple popsicle tones all the way through deep crimson hues so dark they’re almost black; it’s up to your creativity where you plant them!
Boxwood plants are a beautiful and useful addition to any garden. They’re easy on the eyes, provide plenty of attractive greenery for your space, but won’t get out of hand like other shrubs might in warmer climates.
Boxwoods also thrive indoors which is perfect if you want an instant outdoor feel without dealing with all the upkeep that comes along with it!
Springtime is the most common time to take softwood cuttings. These are taken before new growth starts, so they’re from fresh shoots and not older wood.
Softwood cuttings can be challenging because they only have a few days of viability once removed from their parent tree; it’s best if you start them as soon as possible after taking them off the plant or branch where you found them!
Aster, a large flowering plant with more than 600 species in North America is rooted well from cutting.
This hardy perennial flower can grow to heights of up to 10 feet and thrives best in moist soil that doesn’t dry out too quickly but still drains water away.
