Can roses reproduce with a single potato? With this method, they will be able to flower indefinitely.

Roses  are among the most elegant flowers in the world today, with their fragrance and myriad of colors. Many people wonder if it is possible to reproduce roses with a single potato: experts teach an innovative and fun method that must be tried every day until the roses finally multiply.

HOW TO REPRODUCE ROSES WITH A POTATO?

Nursery experts teach methods that are easy to put into practice, even for those who don’t have a green thumb. The first thing to do to get beautiful infinity roses is to cut cuttings, which will be  about 20 cm long. .

It is important that the plant is mature and has flowered at least once before. The cutting should be cut with scissors, making a clean, angled cut. Before using any tool, it must be disinfected and sterilized with the help of denatured alcohol. The cuttings should be placed in a glass of water until the potatoes are ready to receive them. .

There is no difference in the variety of potatoes chosen, however, it is better to opt for fresh ones that do not have dark parts. The hole should be made in the center of the potato, about 2 cm deep (help yourself with a pencil).

Take the cutting and dip it in the potato, using a little cinnamon to help its reproduction. Now is the time to take large pots and fill them with universal potting soil.  In the center of this potting soil  the potatoes should be planted, leaving the cutting out of the soil. It is important to facilitate the growth of the seedling, perhaps with a plastic bag to counteract the attack of heat and humidity.

If this method is chosen, it should be removed once a day to allow the seedling to breathe.

The work is not over yet, in fact now is the time to observe the growth of the seedling. Normally in fifteen days you can see the roots and their development, thanks to the fact that the potato is an important source of nutrition.

To  promote healthy growth , always avoid direct sunlight and prefer a temperature above 20°C.

The soil should always be moist and water should not be allowed to stagnate, and the saucers should be emptied frequently (every day). Now the seedling should be developed and is ready to be transplanted into the garden or into a pot appropriate to its size.

It is important to note that not all qualities of roses can be used for propagation. Indeed, some varieties do not develop strong roots and do not produce new seedlings. For this reason, always ask your local nurseryman for advice. .
