Is it better to propagate roses by hydroponics or soil culture?
Main content introduction: This article introduces the advantages of propagating roses through hydroponics or soil culture, along with注意事项 (注意事项) for growing roses. Next, the editor will provide an introduction.
Roses can be propagated at any time of the year, but it is recommended to do so in spring and autumn for quicker root growth. Rose propagation can be divided into soil insertion and water insertion. There is a trick to propagating roses, which is to use water insertion for reproduction and then transfer to soil culture after roots have formed, as this has a higher survival rate and faster root growth than using soil as a matrix for insertion. Let's now look at the containers and steps for rose propagation.
Propagation container: For insertion, you can use simple containers such as alcohol-disinfected wine bottles, glass cups, and beverage buckets.
Insertion steps:
1. Select a healthy branch that has bloomed as the cutting, remove the top 2-3 cm of the lateral branches, leaving 2-3 leaves at the top, and cut the leaves in half to reduce moisture evaporation from the plant.
2. Make a diagonal cut at the bottom and soak in a diluted solution of carbendazim for 1-2 minutes, then insert into water. Use cool boiled water to avoid bacterial contamination.
3. After placing the cuttings, the container should be placed in a well-ventilated area with scattered light. Change the water every 3-4 days with similar temperatures, and roots should form in about 20 days. When the temperature is around 23℃, roots grow the fastest. Avoid sunlight for the first month after potting.
