How to propagate roses
For many girls, the experience of propagating roses and the timing and methods of rose propagation in the aspect of green plant maintenance, the site editor will introduce to the netizens next.
Friends who have been growing flowers for a long time often try to propagate flowers themselves, but not all propagations are successful. Propagation still requires a lot of skills, but many friends do not know these skills, so they often fail to propagate. Today, Flower will teach everyone how to propagate roses, to increase the survival rate of your roses!
Rose propagation can be done throughout the year, but it is best to do it in spring, and it is not recommended to do it in summer. The survival rate is the highest in spring, and it is relatively low in summer. Many friends have propagated roses and seen new buds, but they die after a few days. What's going on?
1. Choose strong branches
Many friends choose branches when propagating roses to maintain the beauty of the original potted plant, so they use the branches cut during pruning without selection and propagate directly. Most of the branches cut during pruning are tender or withered branches, so the survival rate is relatively low. Choosing branches for propagation is very important; we must choose strong branches to propagate to ensure the survival rate of the propagated branches!
2. Soak the branches
We can soak the branches in water mixed with rooting powder bought online for two hours, but we can also do it without rooting powder. At home, we can mix vinegar and water in a 1:100 ratio and soak the branches. However, branch soaking is a necessary step in the propagation process!

3. Choose soil
When choosing soil, we should choose loose and nutritious soil, and soil with a simple structure and rich nutrients is not suitable for rose propagation. To prevent soil compaction, when choosing soil, we should add some decomposed leaf soil and river sand to the soil, and also mix in a small amount of perlite. This is mainly to increase the permeability of the soil, allowing the plant to maintain good permeability!
4. Propagate
First, we need to put the selected soil in the pot, then insert the branches we have chosen earlier, and we can add a layer of perlite about 1cm thick on the surface of the soil. Then we start watering, making sure that when we water for the first time, we must thoroughly wet the soil. After that, we move the potted plant to a place with diffused light and let it sit for 5 days. After five days, we will see new buds on the branches we have propagated.
5. Post-propagation care
Our branches sprouting new buds do not mean that our propagation is over; we still need to care for them carefully in the later stages. We must be careful not to expose the propagated branches to direct sunlight, as this is very bad for roses, and do not move the potted plant randomly.
