A comprehensive analysis of the best and fastest way to root plants and the formula of root stimulators in the topic of flowers and plants. Next, the editor will introduce to you.
In winter, plants grow slowly, especially newly planted ones, the root system is very unstable and it is difficult to grow and bloom. Take the recently popular plants such as Hippeastrum, Narcissus, and Hyacinthus for example. Before planting, induce the roots first, which can quickly wake up the bulbs and triple the growth speed!
Paper Towel Rooting Method
If you want the plants to root quickly, just covering them with soil won't work, it's best to induce the roots first. Let's introduce the paper towel rooting method, using Hippeastrum as an example, which can also be referred to for other flowers.
1. Clean the Bulbs
No matter it's Hippeastrum or other flowers, they should be cleaned first, such as removing dead leaves and skin, digging out blackened or moldy parts, and cleaning away withered roots.
2. Soak in Multifungin
After cleaning, prepare a basin of Multifungin water or potassium permanganate water. Generally, half a small bag of Multifungin can be mixed with 1 liter of water. Soaking for half an hour is enough to disinfect and kill germs, reducing the risk of bulb rot during cultivation.
3. Place on Paper Towels
Put 3-5 layers of tissue paper on a saucer or plate, place the Hippeastrum on the tissue paper, and then pour water to moisten the tissue paper, not too much. Check it every day to keep the tissue paper moist.

4. Rooting
About 3 days later, the roots will emerge. The temperature at the "Paradise Bird" flower friend's home is around 10 degrees Celsius. If your home is warmer, the roots might emerge even faster.

5. Prepare to Transplant
When the roots grow to 1 centimeter long and there are 2-3 roots, it's time to consider transplanting them into the soil, as there are few nutrients in water. If you are usually busy and can't spray the tissue paper in time, you can wrap several layers more around the bulb.

6. Transplant into Soil
After the root induction is complete, prepare a pot and soil. The pot doesn't need to be too large, with a diameter twice the size of the bulb. The soil should be as loose and breathable as possible. When planting, be careful not to damage the roots, and leave 1/3 of the bulb exposed.
