Detailed Guide to Rose Cutting Propagation: Beginners Can Easily Learn It
The rose enjoys a very good image among flowers and is a very romantic symbol in love. However, the rose is not only an expression of love; it also has the function of extracting essential oils and can be made into flower tea, with relatively high medicinal value. At present, the rose planting area in our country is very extensive, and when planting roses, the seedling-raising work is very important. Today, the editor brings you the rose cutting propagation methods. Let's take a look together!
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, use a solution such as thiophanate-methyl to disinfect the soil and reduce the incidence of disease in the cuttings after planting. If using flower pots for seedling raising, then the selection of the flower pots must also be done well. It is necessary to ensure that 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. Selection of Cuttings
The selection of rose cuttings is very important. We should choose branches that are robust in growth, have many bud eyes, and no wounds, from growth within two years. 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 wound of a horseshoe-shaped cutting is relatively convenient to handle, and it is not easy to damage the cortex, with fewer rotting phenomena. In addition, the nutrient absorption capacity is 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 work of rose cutting together, otherwise it will have a certain impact on the rooting rate. When cutting, be careful to handle 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. The cutting depth should be controlled at about 1/3. Do not cut too deep; if too deep, a slight improper humidity can easily cause the cuttings to rot.
4. Management After Cutting
The rooting temperature for 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 cutting seedlings 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 rose cutting propagation methods. The survival rate of rose cuttings is relatively high. After the cuttings grow branches and leaves, provide relatively sufficient sunlight and do good ventilation work to promote growth. That is all for today's introduction.
