Precautions

1. Use vermiculite when taking cuttings, vermiculite has good water absorption, which can speed up the rooting of rose branches.

2. Use a transparent disposable plastic cup, burn a few small holes in the bottom of the cup, to make it easier for the vermiculite to absorb water, and you can also observe the rooting situation at any time.

3. During the rooting period, keep water in the tray at all times, do not let it lack water

Using vermiculite to propagate roses by cuttings, guarantee these 3 points, and the survival rate reaches 99%

After roses take root, potting them up is also very important, it is recommended to add a small amount of organic base fertilizer to the potting soil, such as decomposed chicken manure, decomposed sheep manure, decomposed pigeon manure, etc. In addition, it is recommended to add some fungicide to the potting soil, the newly grown roots are still relatively fragile, avoid insect eggs and bacteria in the soil harming the roots.
