How to propagate floribunda roses by cuttings

Time Selection

Generally speaking, this method has a wide range of applications and can be carried out all year round. However, it is mainly autumn or winter. However, please note that if you are doing cuttings in winter, it is best to do it in a greenhouse or greenhouse, which is conducive to ensuring temperature and other conditions.

Choice of substrate

The most basic requirement is that it is loose and breathable, and should not contain some undecomposed organic matter. In addition, it is best not to contain salt substances. The most commonly used ones are perlite, peat soil, river sand and so on.

Selection of slotting machine

This can be selected flexibly according to the actual situation. Various pots, wooden boxes, etc. are all acceptable. Another requirement is that it has to have good drainage performance, so it is best to have holes or cracks at the bottom. If not, we need to put in some drainage material.

Specific steps

First, select strong stems that are growing well, and then cut them into small sections about five to ten centimeters long. It is best if each section has some leaves, so that the success rate will be higher. Then, wait until their cut surfaces are dry and then insert them into the substrate. Be careful to insert them upside down and not invert them. Another thing you need to pay attention to is that you need to tilt it when inserting it so that the area it has to absorb water is larger.

Precautions

If we are doing cuttings in the open field, we must take some measures to keep warm and moisturize, which will help improve the survival rate. In addition, if you choose to do cuttings in the summer, you need to pay special attention to water management and temperature control, otherwise they will not easily take root.
