Method of high-pressure propagation for roses
When summer comes every year and the weather is relatively hot, the roses in bloom will be smaller and their colors won't be as vibrant, making them look rather ugly. During the cooler weather not long ago, many thicker branches have sprouted, and some gardening enthusiasts would like to take advantage of this time to propagate through cuttings.
However, due to the hot weather, the survival rate of cuttings is not very high. Today, I will introduce to you a method of high-pressure propagation to root, which is simple to operate and has a survival rate close to 100%. Although there are some high-pressure tools available for sale online, we only need a small amount when operating at home.
If we want to perform high-pressure propagation at home, it's not particularly troublesome, and the method of making it is very simple. We can use the upper part of a mineral water bottle, cut one side open with scissors, and it becomes convenient to put the branches into the bottle. The bottle mouth should face down and the wide opening up, and then find a thicker, healthy, and robust branch.
The branches should not be too old or too young. It's best to use branches that have become woody but still have a dark green epidermis. Using these branches is convenient and has a high survival rate. Find a blade or scissors and make a circumferential cut just below a bud, then make another cut 1 centimeter lower.
The depth should reach the woody layer, then peel off the bark. During the rapid growth stage, the epidermis of all plant branches is particularly easy to separate. Remove the leaves from the upper and lower ends of the circumferential cut, put the prepared bottle on, and if the bottle is not very stable, you can also insert a small stick outside.
Then use tape or cling film, or even a plastic bag, to wrap and secure it tightly. Add nutrient-rich soil to the cup, which should be loose and breathable. It's best not to use sticky garden soil. Gently tap or press to make it a little compact, then water it thoroughly. The opening on top can be sealed or left open.
If left open, you need to water regularly to make sure the soil in the bottle doesn't dry out, but also be careful not to overwet it. Keeping it slightly moist is fine. If it's too dry or too wet, the root growth will be slow. You can also cover the bottle opening with a plastic bag to prevent it from getting rained on every day.
In the summer, it takes about 15 days to root. Once the roots are full, you can cut it down. I propagated a plant last month using this method, and there are rarely any failures. I used peat soil.
Look, it's already full of roots inside. Once it reaches this stage, you can cut it down and transplant it. The advantage of using high-pressure propagation to grow roots is that there's no need for acclimatization after transplanting. You can fertilize it immediately after potting.
