How to care for cuttings of Chinese roses to promote faster and more rooting
When propagating Chinese roses, we often choose this branch for cutting propagation. Many gardening enthusiasts have a very low survival rate when cutting Chinese roses, and it is also difficult for the plants to root. If you want your Chinese rose cuttings to root and survive as soon as possible, the selection and treatment of the branches are very critical.
1. Branch selection
First, let's talk about the issue of branches. It is essential to choose a strong branch first. After choosing a strong branch, when we process it, we must select the area with bud points for treatment.
This area with bud points, which is the axillary part of the plant, has a high distribution of root primordia and is rich in nutrients. Treating this area and using it for cutting will result in a high survival rate of rooting.
2. Processing cuttings
So how should we process these cuttings? It's actually quite simple. First, we must choose a very sharp pair of scissors, which must be extremely sharp. It's best to use a sharp pruning shear. When pruning, we must cut on the opposite side of the bud point, not near the bud point to avoid injuring it.
Opposite the bud point and close to it, we then make a diagonal cut, not a straight horizontal cut. This avoids injuring the bud and allows for a larger contact area. After making the diagonal cut, the larger and smoother incision can be used for cutting.
3. Rooting hormone
If you want to encourage faster rooting, you can soak the cutting in some rooting hormone. Place about ten drops of the rooting hormone in 500 milliliters of water and soak for about thirty minutes before planting.
Because the area of the incision has a rich concentration of root primordia and high growth activity, it can root quickly. Therefore, when propagating Chinese roses, if you learn this little secret about cutting treatment, the survival rate of rooting can be greatly improved.
