Rose Cutting Time and Method
This article introduces the timing and methods of rose cutting, as well as related topics about the cultivation of rose盆栽 (potted roses). Let's delve into the details.
Rose cutting is usually performed in spring and autumn, specifically in April-May or September-October. These time periods have mild weather, which increases the viability and ensures a high survival rate.
I. Rose Cutting Time
Rose cutting is usually performed in spring and autumn, specifically in April-May or September-October. These time periods have mild weather, making it easy for the cuttings to survive and ensuring a high survival rate. Moreover, it does not cause significant harm to the rose plant, avoiding any negative impact.
II. Rose Cutting Method
1. Selecting the Branches
Select vigorous, lignified branches from the rose plant, cut them from the mother plant, and retain a length of about 10-15 centimeters. Remove all leaves from the bottom, leaving 3-4 buds, and cut the lower end of the branch diagonally to facilitate contact with the soil and speed up root growth.
2. Preparing the Potting Soil
Rose cutting uses loose, fertile, well-ventilated, and well-drained acidic soil. The best mixture is 1:1 ratio of humus soil and garden soil. A small amount of river sand can be added to improve drainage. There is no need to use substrate fertilizer at the bottom of the potting soil to avoid adverse effects on the plant.
3. Performing the Cutting
Use a chopstick to make a hole about 5 centimeters deep in the prepared soil. Insert the processed branch into the hole and use a stick as support next to it. Tie the branch and the stick together, compact the surrounding soil, seal it with plastic film, water it, and place it in a ventilated area for cultivation.
III. Maintenance Methods
1. Temperature
After cutting, roses thrive in an environment with temperatures between 23-27 degrees Celsius. The temperature should not be too high or too low to avoid affecting the normal growth of the roots.
2. Watering
Water the cut roses based on the dryness or moisture of the soil. When the soil is too dry, water it promptly. Avoid excessive watering to prevent waterlogging.
