Mini锦绣 rose, loved by gardening enthusiasts for its bright color, compact flower shape, and long blooming period, is often challenging to propagate. We will analyze the method of cutting propagation for Mini锦绣 roses to help you easily reproduce more beautiful Mini锦绣 roses.

Choose the right branches

Before performing the cutting propagation, first select healthy branches. The branches of Mini锦绣 roses should be semi-woody, free of diseases and pests, and have a bright green color. The ideal length of the branches is about 15-20 centimeters.

Prepare cuttings

Cut the selected branches to a length of 15-20 centimeters with a slanted cut to increase the water absorption area. It's best to disinfect the cut end with a flame to prevent the invasion of pathogens.

Process cuttings

Soak the cuttings in a rooting powder solution for 10-15 minutes to promote rooting. The concentration of the rooting powder solution is generally 1000-2000 mg/L. After soaking, remove the cuttings and rinse them clean with water.

Select a suitable cutting bed

The cutting bed can be made of materials such as vermiculite, perlite, or river sand, which have good breathability and drainage and are beneficial for the cuttings to root. Lay the cutting bed material at the bottom of the flower pot with a thickness of about 5-10 centimeters.

Perform the cutting

Insert the processed cuttings into the cutting bed, with a depth of about 3-5 centimeters, keeping a certain distance between the cuttings to avoid mutual shading and affecting rooting.

Watering and moisturizing

After the cuttings are inserted, water them thoroughly to keep the soil moist. In the early stage of cutting, it is necessary to spray water daily to maintain a higher air humidity. As the cuttings take root, gradually reduce the amount of water spraying.

Lighting and temperature

During the cutting propagation period of Mini锦绣 roses, they should be placed in a semi-shaded and well-ventilated environment. The lighting should not be too strong to avoid sunburning the cuttings. The temperature should be controlled at about 20-25°C, as too high or too low temperatures will affect rooting.

Manage after rooting

When the cuttings have rooted, gradually increase the lighting time, keep the soil moist, and fertilize appropriately. When the plants have grown 3-5 leaves, they can be transplanted into pots.

By following these steps, you can easily propagate Mini锦绣 roses. It is important to maintain patience during the cutting process, pay attention to the growth of the cuttings, and adjust management measures in a timely manner. With your careful care, Mini锦绣 roses will surely grow robustly and bloom beautiful flowers.
