At your place is a rose. A beautiful flower, but, unfortunately, it is not eternal. How I wish that there was always such a rose at home! Do you know how to grow a rose from a cut flower? It is quite possible. You will need only a little patience and effort.
There is one way to grow a rose from a cut flower. And he is as follows:
- Cut the bud and all the leaves, and at the bottom, cut diagonally.
- Put the remaining stem in water. And when he gives the roots, transplant into a pot.
It is believed that only roses with sharp thorns can give root.
Cuttings
There is another way to grow a rose from a cut flower - cuttings. Cut cuttings with leaves from the stem of the rose . Cuttings are best left with the “heels”, then they are better rooted. Make a neat oblique cut under the kidney with a sharp razor. The cut should be smooth. Otherwise, the stalk can simply rot. Then make a second cut directly above the kidney. This cut should be straight and even. It is better to cut the cuttings with three buds (in 2 internodes). In this case, the probability of their rooting is much higher. Remove the bottom sheet, and leave 3 leaves in the top two so that the water evaporates more slowly.
In order to grow a rose from the cuttings of the house, a special box for planting or a pot is suitable. The main condition is that they must be clean. Before planting a new plant in a pot, clean and process it. At the bottom of the pot, put expanded clay, then a layer of nutrient soil (you can have this composition: 2 parts of turf, 1 part of sand and 1 part of leafy soil). Pour river sand with a thin layer on a flat surface.
Then proceed to landing. Plant following the following conditions:
- landing angle - 45 °;
- the kidney should be under the stem and close to the surface of the earth (1 cm);
- the length of the handle protruding from the ground is not more than 10 cm.
After planting, pour the cuttings with water. Then fertilize with potassium permanganate. Planted cuttings will feel better in the shade and under "protection." It is best to cover them with a glass cap or jar. Observe the temperature - up to 20-25 ° C. Overheating will not lead to anything good. For the fastest growth, cuttings need to be sprayed often: 5 times in the morning and in the evening. But only spray, do not water. Start watering only after they take root (after about 15 days). After this has happened, the glass can already be removed, and the cuttings can be planted in small pots prepared for them. When the roots of the plant are strong, you can transplant into a larger pot. If buds begin to appear in plants during this period, they must be cut so as not to weaken them. Do not regret it. After all, the plant needs to enter into force and take root. And then it will thank you with its beauty and abundant flowering.
