The Green Thumb’s Guide to Unkillable Plants: 5 Varieties That Thrive with Ease

Bougainvillea

Not only is Bougainvillea easy to bloom and care for, but it also comes in a variety of vibrant colors such as orange, purple, white, and pink. Perhaps this is why many people love and grow Bougainvillea to display indoors. In autumn, Bougainvillea will thrive, so you can propagate the branches at this time. Once you’ve selected healthy, flowering branches, cut a 10 cm segment and place it in a pot of soil.

Since older branches develop roots faster and river sand has high moisture and nutrient content, pay attention to your choices when planting. Additionally, factors like sunlight, fertilizer, and watering are crucial for the plant’s growth and leaf development.

Night-blooming Jasmine

Many people believe that Night-blooming Jasmine is quite “temperamental” as it blooms only once a year. However, newer varieties with smaller leaves can bloom all year round, and the flowering period is longer than usual. Night-blooming Jasmine has a delicate beauty and a pleasant fragrance, making it ideal for indoor planting.

If you wish to plant Night-blooming Jasmine in autumn, select thick, healthy leaves and let the sap dry for about a week. Next, soak the cut branches in a root-stimulating solution for 10 to 15 minutes before planting them in a pot, with the leaves about 3-5 cm deep. If placed in a suitable location with adequate sunlight and good ventilation, the Night-blooming Jasmine will take root after half a month and bloom a year after planting.

Vinca

Vinca, a herbaceous plant, will bloom all year round if properly cared for. Because it is easy to grow, Vinca is often referred to as the “immortal plant.” Spring and autumn are the best times to propagate Vinca branches, as the plant tends to grow rapidly and produce many flowers afterward.

After cutting healthy Vinca branches, plant them in moist pots and place them in a well-ventilated, sunny area. Within about ten days, the branches will take root and bloom a month later.

Rose

It’s no coincidence that roses are likened to the “queen of flowers.” They are beautiful, fragrant, easy to plant and care for, and they bring life and cheer to your living space. Autumn is the ideal time to propagate roses, as they tend to thrive during this period.

First, select robust rose branches that aren’t too old, and cut segments of about 10 cm each. Each segment should have one to two buds and leaves. Then, place the cut branches in a well-ventilated pot with nutrient-rich soil, ensuring that one-third of the branch is buried. After about 20 days, the branches will start to take root and grow vigorously.

Vanda Orchid

Vanda Orchid stands out with its broad, thick leaves and eye-catching colors, and its subtle fragrance. You can easily grow this orchid in prominent indoor spots like your garden or balcony. To propagate Vanda Orchid, choose branches with thick, healthy, insect-free leaves. After cutting segments about 8-10 cm long, wipe off the plant’s sap before planting.

Select a well-drained, airy soil rich in humus and ensure your plant has adequate ventilation and good drainage. After 20 to 30 days, the roots will develop, and this is when you should focus on providing nutrients to promote leaf growth.
