Having received a beautiful flower as a present, or having bought it just like that, for a good mood, many people think how to grow a rose from a rose stalk? It turns out that there are even several ways to obtain a viable bush that is fragrant and pleasing to the eye, and there are no particular difficulties in these technologies. You can take advantage of the traditional planting in the ground, but there are alternative methods, for example, forcing the cuttings in potatoes.
When deciding how to grow indoor roses, you should pay attention to the method of rooting in the soil, proven for centuries. This procedure will not require much effort, but the plant will need regular watering. So where does it all start? The flower you like should stand in a vase with water until it completely fades. Then you need to cut the rose’s leg into equal cuttings having a length of 14-15 cm. The main condition: at each such segment there must be at least three buds. With a special tool or an ordinary sharp and thin knife, several sections are made: one should pass directly above the kidney and have an oblique slope, and the second - a straight line - do at a distance of 3-4 mm below it. If dry leaves remain on the handle, then not all of them are removed, but only a part - those that are lower than the buds.
Prepared in this way, cuttings need to be immersed in a special solution that will help the plant take root. How to grow a rose from a rose stalk faster? To do this, we use a store root top dressing or a special drug that accelerates the development of the root system. If you do not want to use unverified fertilizers, there is always an alternative - a traditional, slightly pink
solution of potassium permanganate. Preparations for enhanced root growth can be purchased at a flower shop, and
potassium permanganate will have to be run around in garden centers. Having chosen the appropriate option, the workpieces are lowered into the solution for 12-13 hours and the soil preparation begins.
Now let's talk about the alternative method already mentioned above: we grow rose cuttings in potatoes. After extracting from the solution, the segments are stuck in a large and healthy potato, which has a truly huge supply of nutrients. But most gardeners prefer traditional, time-tested nutritious soil to newfangled "vegetable" plantings. For further experiments designed to learn how to grow a rose from a rose stem, you will need a large pot or bucket, prepared soil and an ordinary glass jar. The nutrient mixture can be made according to the following recipe: peat, high-quality humus, turf and clean river sand are mixed in equal parts. The resulting soil should be light and filled with substances useful for roses. The selected container should be well drained and have a claydite layer at the bottom - to protect future roots from
decay.
Cuttings are planted at a slight slope and very carefully crushed on all sides by soil. Then you need to moderately water the plant and fall asleep to the level of the middle kidney with earth. Many people are interested in how to grow a rose from a rose stalk, and what conditions are required for this. Long-term practice has shown that 24-25 ° C is the optimum temperature regime. The stem is covered with a glass jar and sprayed with standing water 5-7 times a day so that the soil does not dry out. In a month, the plant will give new leaves, and in a year it can be planted in the garden, if there is such a desire.
