Rose cuttings soaked in water, and when the flowering season comes, you won't be able to stop them from blooming

A few days ago, in one of Huahua's articles, the cultivation of roses was mentioned. Now that autumn has arrived, it's time to propagate roses by cuttings, so they grow denser and bloom more abundantly. A friend who has only recently started growing flowers told Huahua that they wanted to propagate their own roses by cuttings, but they weren't confident about the soil method and wanted to try water propagation instead, and asked Huahua whether that would work.

Huahua told this friend, of course it works!

So today, taking this question as an opportunity, Huahua will explain to everyone how to propagate roses by water cuttings.

Whether it's water propagation or soil propagation, the first step is of course to find the rose branches to be used for cuttings. When selecting branches, be sure to choose healthy and robust rose branches, and they must be from the current year's growth. Cut the branches into small sections of about 10 cm, and remove the leaf stalks.

Then just place the branches in a container filled with water. Beginners may not be sure exactly how deep the branches should be inserted to be a reasonable and appropriate position. Huahua will tell everyone here that in general, for propagation by cuttings, one third of the branch is placed in water or soil. If the mouth of the container cannot support the branch to grow vertically, we can use a foam board.

When taking rose cuttings, we should note that it is best not to use a transparent container. During the process of the rose taking root, we need to provide some shading for the plant. If the light is relatively strong, it will prolong the plant's rooting.

When propagating by cuttings, also remember to change the water for the roses once a week. Whether shading the plant or changing the water, both are meant to help the roses root and grow better. Everyone should pay attention to these two points.

After about one month, the roses can take root. Once rooted, the roses must be transferred into soil to survive and grow better. Beginner friends should not panic; transplanting is not that difficult. We can slowly add soil to the water. At the beginning, there is a lot of water in the soil, roughly a half-dry, half-wet state. Then gradually add soil until it is all soil.

In this way, the transplant can be successfully completed. After successful transplanting, do not directly place the flowers in the sun, and even more so, do not expose the roses to scorching sun. Keep them in a cool place for about one week, and then the roses can appropriately get some sunlight.

This is the method for water propagation of roses by cuttings. Actually, Huahua thinks water propagation is not simpler than soil propagation, because it involves the later transplanting issue. But if some friends still prefer the water propagation method, they can also refer to this article by Huahua.

When the roses slowly grow into potted plants, they are so beautiful when they bloom!
