Find the Right Rooting Position:
Today, the editor will explain the high-pressure method for roses: related content about the reluctant剪切 of the well-cultivated rose plants, specifically as follows:
Roses need to be pruned frequently to grow well and bloom more, which is known to all rose enthusiasts. However, it is still hard to cut them mercilessly without feeling some reluctance. Think about how hard it is to grow them, and with one snip, it's like going back to square one; isn't it painful?
If you don't prune, the roses won't grow well, bloom less, and the flowers will become smaller. What to do then? Today, I'll teach you a trick that won't miss out on either flowering or seedling care.
High-pressure Method for Roses:
Roses are often propagated by cuttings, but the seedlings obtained from cuttings are usually small and require careful care to grow and bloom successfully. This is relatively difficult for novice gardeners. Today, I'll teach you the high-pressure method to quickly obtain large rose seedlings.
Find the Right Rooting Position:
Before high-pressure, you should first find the desired rooting position, and after confirming the position, proceed to the next step.
Generally, the position for high-pressure should be about 0.5 cm below the bud point. At the same time, observe the condition of the rose branches to see if they need branching and the density of the buds. If the branches grow from suckers, they often have larger internodes, which means the future plant shape will be less compact.
So, it is recommended that before pressing, you first find your target branch and think about the shape of the seedling you need. After finding the position, the next step is to make a ring cut and strip the bark, using a sharp utility knife or grafting knife at the high-pressure position. The width of the ring cut should be 1.5 times the thickness of the branch, not too wide. If too wide, the branch is prone to breakage due to poor wind resistance, and if too narrow, the wound heals easily and it's hard to root.
Make ring cuts at both the top and bottom, then make a cut in the middle to split and strip the bark off.
If you want to root faster, you can apply some rooting powder to the cut wound and then cover the cut wound with loose, breathable, and moist soil.
You can wrap it with a plastic bag or use a small pot, a small bottle, etc.总之, use the matrix to cover the wound and keep the matrix moist.
After covering the wound, there's no need for excessive management, just normal care. If the matrix is not very water-retaining, you can add some water appropriately during the process according to the dryness or moisture of the wrapping matrix. If you don't want the trouble of replenishing water in between, it is recommended that you soak the sphagnum moss in water, squeeze out the excess water, wrap the wound, and cover it with a plastic bag to prevent water loss. Generally speaking, the sphagnum moss can remain moist until the roses root.
About 40 days later, the high-pressure roses will root. There's no need to cut them down immediately after rooting; you can let them grow a bit more to enrich the roots and then cut them down for planting elsewhere.
Advantages of High-pressure Method:
Compared to cuttings, the high-pressure method has the following advantages.
1. The high-pressure method is simple to operate with low technical requirements.
2. High survival rate, almost zero failure.
3. Simple management, not as complicated as cuttings.
4. You can directly obtain large seedlings.
5. Since the branches are cut after the roots have formed in the high-pressure method, it doesn't affect flowering much, so you can bloom and press for rooting at the same time.
Do you think this method is great? Take action instead of just thinking about it, find a rose and try it out. There are surprises in life everywhere!
The above is a comprehensive introduction to the high-pressure method for roses, finding the right rooting position, and the advantages of the high-pressure method, hoping to bring some knowledge about green plants to green plant enthusiasts.
