Below, I will give you a detailed introduction to the steps of rose cuttage. 1. Selecting cuttings First, we need to select cuttings from healthy rose plants. Generally speaking, it is best to choose current-year, semi-lignified branches as cuttings. The branch length is about 10-15 cm, and 3-4 bud eyes are retained. When cutting cuttings, be careful to keep the top 2-3 leaves and remove the rest. 2. Trim the branches and cut the lower end of the cuttings into a 45-degree slope to help root. The incision should be smooth to avoid tearing. 3. Prepare cuttage substrates and select substrates with good air permeability and good water retention, such as peat soil, perlite, vermiculite, river sand, etc. Vermiculite, perlite and nutrient soil can be mixed in a ratio of 1:1:1. To disinfect the substrate, it can be soaked in potassium permanganate solution or clean water. 4. During the cuttage process, the treated cuttings are inserted into a moist substrate at a depth of 1/3-1/2 of the length of the branch. Gently compress the substrate to tightly bond the branches to the substrate. Pour water immediately after cuttage to keep the substrate moist. 5. In later maintenance, place the cuttaged roses in semi-shade or shade to avoid direct sunlight. As the rose grows, the light can be gradually increased. Keep the substrate moist, watering frequently in the early stage, gradually reduce the watering frequency after 4-5 days, and keep the ambient temperature between 15-28. Precautions for rose cuttage In the process of rose cuttage, there are still some precautions that we need to pay attention to: 1. The selection and handling of cuttings should be clean and hygienic to avoid bacterial infection.
2. Cutting media should be disinfected to prevent the growth of bacteria.
3. Keep the substrate moist after cuttage to avoid dehydration of cuttings.
4. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent cuttings from wither.
As long as we follow the above steps and precautions, we believe that your rose cuttage will be successful!
