Introduction
In traditional Chinese gardening practices, there’s an ancient technique for rejuvenating plants by encouraging quick root growth. This method, passed down through generations, allows you to root any stump or cutting in just two days using a natural, effective solution. Whether you’re replanting a favorite shrub or creating new plants from cuttings, this old Chinese recipe can help bring life back to your garden faster than you thought possible.
Ingredients
1 liter of water
2 tablespoons of honey
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon of ground ginger
1 small piece of activated charcoal (optional, but helps with sterilization)
Instructions
Prepare the Solution: In a large container, mix the water, honey, cinnamon, and ginger together. Stir until all ingredients are fully dissolved, creating a rich, sweet-smelling solution.
Optional Charcoal Addition: If you have activated charcoal, crush it and add it to the mix. This is an optional step but it helps in preventing rot and promoting healthy root growth.
Soak the Stumps: Place the stumps or cuttings into the solution, ensuring that the base of the stump or cutting is submerged. Let them soak for at least 1 hour.
Planting: After soaking, plant the stumps in well-draining soil or directly in a pot, depending on your preference.
Wait for Growth: Within two days, you should begin to notice small roots starting to form. Keep the soil moist but not too soggy during this process.
Serving and Storage Tips
Store the remaining solution in an airtight container, and keep it in a cool, dark place. The solution can last for up to a week.
Once the stump has rooted, transplant it to a larger pot or garden bed where it can thrive.
