Flower friends talk about their experience in cutting roses
Do you know these? An introduction to roses and Chinese roses, flower friends talk about their experience in cutting roses, let's understand together next.
Experience in cutting roses, many flower friends don't know how to start when they get rose branches from other flower friends, and don't know how to cut roses. Here are my own experiences in cutting roses for reference:
One, using river sand for cutting is easy to succeed (key) because rose seedlings cannot be too wet or too dry, which is crucial for people like me who can't control water. Although, if you use sand and water too much, it will flow out by itself, but young seedlings don't like to be soaked in water every day, so controlling yourself is also key.
Two, if you want to succeed, endure first.
1 Endure, don't water too much!
2 Endure, don't pull it out to check! After cutting, it may continue to sprout and grow leaves, but it is consuming the nutrients of the original branch because it has not yet grown roots and cannot provide enough nutrition for a long time. Once the nutrients are consumed, it will only have the fate of drying up and dying. Therefore, it's better not to choose branches with too many buds. Generally, there is no change about a month after cutting, and you may wonder: Why doesn't it grow? Is there a problem? Has it rooted? I really want to pull it out and see what's going on! But in order to ensure its survival, you should endure a little longer, don't be too curious or worried. As long as the branches and leaves are green, it means it is still alive.
-- However, it is struggling against fate, adapting, recovering, and trying to grow roots, so it doesn't have time to sprout. We just need not to disturb it.
3 Endure, don't keep moving it around to find a better "environmental location"!
Three, choosing branches is important (key)
Four, the best cutting season is spring, autumn, and winter because roses are warm-season flowers, dislike heat, and prefer cool temperatures. Let's cater to their preferences.
Five, ensure at least two months of care for it. The reason is simple; it cannot be too dry and needs proper sunlight after about two months of cutting -- early morning before 9 a.m. and evening after 5 p.m. sunlight, all of which require your judgment. If you think it's hot, it probably can't take it, and you should avoid it.
Six, don't leave too many leaves, nor can you leave it without a single leaf. It's best to leave mature, dark green leaves to ensure the nutrition for future rooting and sprouting (G-Y).
Seven, change the pot only after new buds start to grow new leaves. About two and a half months after cutting, it has already survived and grown many fibrous roots and is no longer afraid of minor injuries. However, you still need to be very careful when transplanting, so as not to severely damage the roots that have grown with difficulty.
Eight, place it in a shady place for 7 to 10 days to let the newly surviving young seedlings adapt to the new potting soil environment, and then enter normal management and care to let it grow strong. OK, new plant propagation is successful~~~
