How to Root Rose Cuttings: An Unexpected Life Hack – Every Gardener Should Have It in Their Piggy Bank
The first thing I would like to advise everyone who is engaged in rose cuttings is to use a sharp blade to ensure a neat cut.
Once you are done cutting the cuttings, use a clean knife to make a few scratches along the bottom of the cuttings.
This needs to be done so that the roots grow faster.
After this, you will need a sponge designed for washing dishes.
It needs to be cut into several pieces and, armed with scissors or a knife, make holes in each of them, vaguely resembling pockets.
Next, take 1 part aloe juice and dilute it in 9 parts water. Aloe will serve as a biostimulant.
Dip the sponge into the resulting solution, let it soak and then squeeze it out.
All that remains is to insert the cuttings into the holes made in the sponge, after which the resulting “constructions” from the sponges and cuttings must be placed in a glass and placed in a highly inflated (like a balloon) bag.
Leave the bag with the cuttings in a warm and bright place - if possible, hang it next to a window, and when roots appear, transplant them into the soil.
