HOW TO PROPAGATE ROSES WITH A GLASS OF WATER: THEY WILL BLOOM IN A FEW DAYS
PAIRING ROSE AND ALOE: A DYNAMIC DUO IN PROPAGATION
An innovative approach involves combining a rose cutting with an aloe vera cutting. After cutting the top and bottom parts, place the rose cutting directly on the cut aloe vera . Create a layered environment in a jar with expanded clay and soil, covering the rose cutting with soil, leaving the top of the aloe cutting visible. Aloe acts as a protective container, regulating the moisture absorption of the surrounding gel. This ensures optimal rooting of the rose, leading to the appearance of new shoots within weeks.
BOTTLE METHOD OF PROPAGATION: NURTURING GROWTH IN MOISTURE
To propagate rose from a cutting, cut a plastic bottle in half and poke small holes in the bottom. Fill the bottle halfway with a mixture of high-quality expanded clay and peat moss, spraying it generously and letting it drain slightly. Take a cutting with 3 or 4 shoots, remove most of the leaves, insert it into the soil and cover it with the other half of the bottle. This ensures that the cutting remains moist until it roots. To maintain proper growing conditions, achieve a balance in soil moisture and avoid direct exposure to sunlight. Opt for a cool, shaded outdoor area to nourish the propagation process.
THE ESSENCE OF SIMPLICITY: TWIG IN A BOTTLE METHOD
The third and final method is to place a clean twig in a half-cut bottle filled with water. For a fragrant touch, add a few drops of essential oil to the water. After a week, witness the twig come to life with sprouting signs, completing the propagation process smoothly.
Embrace the water glass method and its alternatives to embark on a journey of successful rose propagation, ensuring lush blooms and an abundance of these timeless blooms.
