Schematic diagram of the principle of bottle inner sponge cutting:
Precautions:
① Sponge block size: 3cm high × 1.5cm long × 1.5cm wide
② Depth of cutting the twig into the sponge: 2cm (2/3 of the sponge's depth)
③ Depth of water: 2cm (2/3 of the sponge's height)
④ Leave one full leaf (too many leaves will block sunlight from each other)
⑤ Do not cover the bottle (beneficial for air exchange)
⑥ Tear off the advertisement paper outside the bottle and ensure that the leaves face south (helpful for improving photosynthesis)
⑦ Use mineral water or cooled boiled water preferably, tap water can also do, place on the balcony or windowsill to bask in the sun (make sure the water inside the bottle does not get too hot, in very hot weather, place it in a semi-shaded or diffused light area)
⑧ No need for rooting powder or disinfectant* (anyway, I haven't used them)
Insert the rose twig into the sponge 2/3 deep:
Put the sponge and the twig together into the bottle and add water to 2/3 of the sponge's height
