Rose Cutting Lazy Person's Version
This explanation of rose cutting, especially the lazy person's version of rose watering cutting, is sure to help you. Let's learn about it together!
Rose cutting is one of the most common propagation methods, and rose watering cutting is also frequently used by flower enthusiasts. I want to say first that this is not my original idea. I've been using it since last year and have also applied it to other flowers with good results. Today, let's talk about roses.
For bottle watering cutting, leave three to four buds on each section of the stem. The red circles in the picture represent the buds! The leaves on the lowest bud should be cut off, then put it into a mineral water bottle, which can be transparent, green like Sprite, or blue like Pulsan – it doesn't matter. Then pour mineral water to cover the position of the lowest bud. If you don't have mineral water, tap water is fine. Place it indoors or outdoors, in a place with sunlight but not direct sunlight at noon. (Above 25 degrees, it is recommended to place it on a balcony or windowsill indoors, otherwise it can easily dry out.) Add water when it gets low.
Soon, there will be healing tissue and roots will grow. When the temperature is below 20 degrees in autumn, you can transfer them to soil. One bottle can hold two if it is large enough, but if it's a brand like Yibao or Nongfu, it's best to put one stem per bottle. Finally, cut the bottom of the bud half a centimeter to one centimeter diagonally at a 45-degree angle with a sharp knife, unless you have a very sharp pair of pruning shears.
I've been using this method for the past two years, placing it on the windowsill, and it works all year round! Just a bit slower in winter. Those with heating can relax in winter.
That's all for the lazy person's version of rose watering cutting. I hope it helps you, and I also hope everyone comes to see more green plant and flower experience and common sense!
