How to reproduce roses with a potato?
Experienced nurserymen teach methods that are easy to implement, even for those without the classic green thumb. The first thing to do to have beautiful roses to infinity is to cut the cuttings, which will be about 20 cm long.
It is important that the plant is mature and has flowered at least once in the past. The cut should be made with shears, using a clean oblique cut. Before using any type of tool, it must be sanitized 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.
How to make roses bloom with potatoes
There are no differences in the variety of potatoes chosen, however it is better to opt for fresh ones that do not have dark parts. The hole must be made in the center of the potato, with a depth of about 2cm (help yourself with a pencil).
Take the cutting and dip it in the potato, using cinnamon which helps in reproduction. Now is the time to take large pots and fill them with universal potting soil. The potatoes are planted in the center of this soil, leaving the cut part above the ground. It is important to facilitate the growth of the seedling, perhaps with a plastic bag that counteracts the attack of heat and humidity.
If you choose this method, it will be removed once a day to allow the seedling to breathe.
The work is not finished yet, in fact now is the time to observe the growth of the seedling. Normally in two weeks you can see the roots and their development, thanks to the potato, which is an important source of food.
To promote healthy growth , always avoid direct sunlight and prefer a temperature above 20°C.
The soil should always be moist and stagnant water should not form, emptying the saucers frequently (every day). At this point, the seedling should develop and is ready to be transplanted into the garden or into a pot suitable for its size.
It is important to note that not all qualities of roses can be used for propagation. In fact, some varieties do not develop strong roots and do not give life to new seedlings. Therefore, always ask your trusted nurseryman for advice.
