The Latest Rose Cutting Method, Easy for Beginners to Learn
The rose has a very good image among flowers and is a very romantic symbol in love. However, the rose is not only a representation of love; it also has the function of extracting essential oils and can be made into flower tea, with relatively high medicinal value. Now the rose planting area in our country is very extensive, and when planting roses, the seedling work is very important. Today the editor brings you the rose cutting method, let's take a look!
1. Soil Selection
First, we need to choose soil with sufficient fertility and strong permeability, which can effectively improve the rooting rate of rose cuttings. Then, after choosing the soil, disinfect it with a solution such as methyl thiophanate to reduce the incidence of disease in the cuttings after planting. If using flower pots for seedling cultivation, then the selection of flower pots must also be done well. Make sure the flower pots have high permeability and good drainage and irrigation capacity, so as to effectively improve the rooting rate of the cuttings and increase planting benefits.
2. Cutting Selection
The selection of rose cuttings is very important. We should choose robust branches with many bud eyes and no wounds that are within two years of growth. The survival rate of this kind of branch is very high because the nutrients and moisture are relatively sufficient. Then the two ends of the cutting incision should be treated into a horseshoe shape. The horseshoe-shaped cutting wound is relatively convenient to handle, and it is not easy to damage the cortex, with fewer rot phenomena. In addition, the nutrient absorption capacity is also relatively strong, and the healing time is short. However, before cutting, we should dip the incision in rooting agent to promote rooting.
3. Timely Cutting
There are no strict requirements for the cutting time of roses, but it is mainly in spring and winter. It is best to carry out all the rose cutting work together; otherwise, it will have a certain impact on the rooting rate. When cutting, be careful to handle it gently and do not damage the cortex. After cutting, press the soil lightly, then water once to increase the contact area between the soil and the cuttings. Then cover with film for about 3 days, and the cutting depth should be controlled at about 1/3. Do not cut too deep; if too deep, slightly improper humidity can easily cause the cuttings to rot.
4. Post-Cutting Management
The rooting temperature of rose cuttings should be controlled at about 20-25 degrees, so temperature control must be done well. Then we should reasonably adjust the management method according to the cutting time. After cutting, be careful not to let direct sunlight hit them; after about half a month, the cuttings can begin to receive sunlight. Then after cutting, be careful to water once, and then spray water appropriately every day to maintain soil moisture until new buds grow. However, be careful to control the amount of watering to prevent excessive watering from causing the cuttings to rot and die.
The above is a brief introduction to the rose cutting method. The survival rate of rose cuttings is relatively high. After the cuttings grow branches and leaves, they should be provided with relatively sufficient sunlight, and ventilation work should be done well to promote growth. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you all for reading and supporting.
