How long does it take for hydroponic roses to root
Here are some small experiences on plant care for netizens who want to know how long it takes for hydroponic roses to root and the precautions when planting roses. Let's introduce the following.
Hydroponic propagation of roses usually takes 15-20 days to root, and it can root in about 10 days with proper care. The time it takes to root mainly depends on the care after cutting. When hydroponically growing roses, keep the temperature at 20℃-25℃, avoid direct sunlight, remove some leaves from the rose stems to prevent them from competing for water and nutrients, which makes it easy to root and survive. Let's talk about the specifics below.
1. Prepare materials
When propagating roses in water, do not insert them too deep into the water, and the leaves should not touch the water, as this can easily cause rotting, which not only affects water quality but also affects rooting and survival. You need to prepare a piece of sponge for fixation.
2. Selecting branches
Select robust and disease-free branches from the vigorous rose mother plant, cut them to 10-15 cm, remove the base leaves, retain 2-3 top tender leaves, soak them in a rooting solution for 20-30 minutes, let them dry in a shady place, insert the rose branches into the sponge, with the sponge positioned at about 2/3 of the branch.
3. Prepare water quality
Prepare a container of an appropriate size, preferably a transparent glass bottle, which is best for observing whether the rose branches have rooted and also allows for proper light exposure. It is best to use rainwater or river water; if tap water is used, it should be exposed to sunlight for 1-2 days. Fill the glass bottle with water, about 1/2 or 2/3 of the bottle's depth, not filling the entire bottle, add 3-4 drops of nutrient solution to promote rapid rooting of the rose branches.
4. Hydroponic environment
Insert the rose branches into the bottle, about 3-5 cm deep, control the water浸泡 position with the sponge to prevent the leaves from touching the water. Place it in a cool and dark place for maintenance, spray water appropriately to maintain sufficient humidity, keep the temperature at 20℃-25℃, and the branches will root in about 10-20 days.
5. Transition from hydroponics to soil cultivation
Once the rose branches have rooted, they can be transplanted. The process must not damage the roots, or it will be difficult for them to survive. Remove the branches and plant them directly with the sponge block in a pot.
The above introduction on how long it takes for hydroponic roses to root and the precautions for planting roses is for your reference, netizens.
