Hydroponic cutting method of rose

1. Cut branches

Choose roses that are growing well on their own, and cut strong branches from them. They should be free of diseases and insect pests, have full buds on them, not be too old, and it is best if the branches have several nodes. Remove the leaves under the branches to prevent them from rotting when placed in water. Use a sharp knife to cut the bottom into a bevel to increase the absorption area. Leave 2 to 3 leaves on the top. If you want to reduce water evaporation, you can cut these leaves in half to increase the chance of rooting.

2. Prepare the container

The container for cuttings does not need to be too large. It needs to be a size that matches the plant. There are not too many requirements on the color, but it is recommended not to use a completely light-proof container.

3. Water quality requirements

You can use tap water, but don't use it right away, because it contains a lot of chlorine used for disinfection, which is not good for the rooting of plant cuttings. You can first draw it out and let it sit outside for a while, and then use it for hydroponic cuttings.

4. Carry out hydroponics

Place the branches in the container, then add the prepared water to cover one-third to one-half of the branches. Pay attention to the later maintenance, change the water once a week, and it will take root in about 20 days.
