Roses propagate quickly with this cutting method
Let's talk about the content of the green plants and flowers that grow roses with this quick-rooting cutting method, here are the details:
It's autumn again, and all you rose lovers, don't miss the great season for propagating roses.
Roses are pruned once in autumn, so why not take this opportunity to exchange branches of different rose varieties with friends, propagate them yourself, or share your propagated rose seedlings with friends, it's a lot of fun. You might say, "I don't know how to propagate, I can never get it to work!" Don't worry, follow these steps and I guarantee your propagated roses will survive.
Propagating roses is very simple, divided into six steps.
1. Select branches: For rose propagation, choose strong semi-woody branches, not old branches, as old branches have less growth hormone and are not easy to root.
It's best to use branches that have just finished flowering, and if possible, cut off the spent flowers first, wait a week before cutting the branches, which allows the branches to accumulate more nutrients.
2. Prune branches: The pruning of cuttings is also quite particular. Many friends cut a long branch to propagate, which is wrong, as a long branch consumes too much before roots grow, making it difficult to survive.
The correct method is to keep only 2-3 buds on each cutting, with the lower bud for rooting and the future笋芽's hidden point, and the upper bud for future branching.
When pruning, the upper cut should be flat, and the lower cut at a 45-degree angle, leaving only 2-4 small leaves for photosynthesis.
3. Disinfect: Disinfection is an important step in propagation. It is recommended that after the cuttings are pruned, they can be soaked in potassium permanganate solution for 20 minutes, with the solution's concentration being light purple. You can also use a carbendazim solution.
4. Prepare soil: The soil for propagation should be loose and breathable, mainly not containing fertilizer, as fertile soil can easily cause the branches to rot in high temperatures. If the temperature is relatively low, it will be better.
To ensure survival, it is recommended to use soil without fertilizer for propagation. You can mix peat and perlite in a 1:1 ratio and propagate.
You can also use pure perlite or pure vermiculite for propagation, but with these two methods, it is often bare-root transplantation, which may cause rot after transplantation.
5. Propagate: When propagating, be careful not to damage the cut. If the soil has many particles and is hard, you should first make a hole in the soil with a stick, then put the branch into the hole, and then water thoroughly to make the soil and the branch stick closely together.
6. Management after propagation: How to manage after propagation? Many friends don't understand how often to water. It's actually very simple.
After propagation, place the pot in the shade or where it can get morning and evening sun, keep it ventilated, and water when the surface of the potting soil is dry.
It's easy to propagate roses in autumn, and once the roots grow, you can pot them with the soil ball. When potting, add enough bottom fertilizer, but be careful not to let the fertilizer come into direct contact with the roots. By the next spring, the rose seedlings will have grown significantly and can even bloom.
How about that? Do you think it's simple after seeing this? Then give it a try! (The text in this article is original, and all images are from the internet.
