Often having received beautiful roses as a gift, their owner begins to think about how to prolong the life of lovely flowers. Of course, you can traditionally dry the bouquet, but in this case, only a memory will remain of the vivid color and smell.
Necessary
Rose, knife, scissors, brilliant green or potassium permanganate, aloe juice, soil for planting, warm water, plastic bottle
Instructions
Step 1
Cut the stem of your favorite rose into cuttings about 15 cm long. Take only the middle part of the stem for seedlings, after cutting off the bud and "renewing" the cut in contact with water. Make sure that there are 2-3 buds on each cuttings. Try to make a bottom cut on the handle 1 cm below the bud at a 45-degree angle. And make the upper edge straight, passing at a distance of about a centimeter above the kidney.
Step 2
Remove the lower leaves of the stem, trim the thorns. Burn the upper cut with a solution of brilliant green or potassium permanganate. Place the resulting cuttings in freshly prepared aloe juice for 12 hours or keep them in special humic concentrates or growth stimulants.
Step 3
Prepare the soil for replanting, moisten it well and sprinkle the top layer with sand. Take your seedlings and plant them, deepening one and a half to two centimeters into the soil. Drizzle with warm water and cover with pre-cut plastic bottles. In this case, the neck of the bottle should be directed upwards. Do not forget that roses are light-requiring and need fluorescent lighting.
Step 4
A month later, when the cuttings are well rooted and start growing, start accustoming them to open air. If buds appear at this time, remove them immediately. Remember that it is best to purchase the soil specially suitable for roses, and the optimum temperature for permanent rooting is 23-25 degrees.
Step 5
For the first 2 weeks, spray the seedlings at least 5-7 times a day. Water as needed, keeping in mind that the soil should be moist but not soggy. If it is not possible to organize multiple spraying manually, use automatic fogging systems, especially when it comes to a large number of rooted seedlings.
