How to propagate roses in water
The editor will answer how to propagate roses in water and share the related experience of hydroponic rose cutting techniques in flower planting. Let's learn about it together.
Roses have a wide variety and bloom all year round. The colors are extremely rich, red as if painted with cinnabar, white as plain jade, yellow as silk, and purple like precious stones, with bright and colorful hues that are unmatched by many other flowers.
Roses propagate using water cutting, which has a very high survival rate. I will now introduce the rose water cutting propagation method to friends who love roses for reference.
1. After the rose petals fall, cut off the remaining flowers and allow the flowering branches to grow for several days until the first axillary bud on the branch becomes thick and strong. Accumulate nutrients, then cut a cutting with 3 nodes, remove the leafstalks from the bottom, cut the bottom bud surface obliquely with a sharp blade, and immediately insert it into a bottle filled with clean water that has been prepared. The cutting can be inserted into the water 1/3. To reduce the evaporation of water from the leaves, some leaves can be cut off. In the absence of light, the cut surface is prone to grow new roots, so a brown bottle should be used. If there is no brown bottle, you can wrap the outside of the bottle with a layer of black plastic film. Place the bottle on a south-facing windowsill and avoid direct sunlight.
2. When the temperature is high, change the water once a week. At temperatures between 15-25℃, it takes about 20 days to grow roots. When the young roots grow to 1-2 centimeters in length, they can be transplanted into pots. Since the young roots grow in water, to make them adapt to the environment, water them once a day at the beginning of transplantation, and then gradually reduce the frequency. After shading for a week, they can be exposed to sunlight in the morning and evening and can survive.
3. The advantages of water cutting are: the method is simple, the survival rate is high, and it is not limited by time. You can cut and propagate after the flowers fade.
