Rose cuttings are mostly done in spring or autumn. Select a 10 cm long hard branch with 3-4 buds, cut the lower end diagonally and remove the leaves at the base. Prepare potting soil with garden soil and river sand, and insert the branches into it. Then use wooden strips to build a support around it and cover it with a layer of plastic film. During maintenance, pay attention to regular ventilation and water spraying, and also control the temperature between 23-27°C, so that roots and germination will soon take root.

1 2. Select branches: Good branches are the first step to successful cuttings. Generally, lignified hard branches are used, with a length between 10-15 cm and at least 3-4 buds. Remove the leaves at the base of the hard branches and cut the lower part into an inclined plane to increase the contact area with the soil and help rooting.

2. Pot soil preparation: Rose is not suitable for alkaline conditions It grows in the environment, so choose acidic soil containing humus. River sand can be added appropriately to increase its drainage. The soil used for cuttings generally does not add base fertilizer, which is not good for plant rooting.

3. Make cuttings: Use chopsticks to poke a 5 cm deep hole in the pot soil and insert the branch into the hole. After compacting the soil, water it thoroughly. If the temperature is very low, you can use wooden strips to build a small shelf, wrap it with plastic film, and place it in a sunny place.

4. Follow-up maintenance: Whether the branches can survive mainly depends on Three factors: ventilation, temperature and moisture. Open the film regularly every day to ventilate the branches to ensure air circulation. The temperature should be controlled at around 23-27°C, which is suitable for branches to take root. Watering should not be too much, just a moderate spray of water.
