Presented bouquets of roses always bring triple joy. First, accept the gift in the form of a bouquet of roses - it is a great excuse for a wonderful mood. Secondly, we have a few days to enjoy their beauty and fragrance.
And thirdly, a large bouquet of roses can easily turn into a real rose garden to any flowerbed. To do so is simply to root cuttings of roses donated.
Someone might say that once tried to root out a bouquet of roses, and nothing came of it... Do not hesitate to answer: if you know a few tricks of the trade and do everything correctly, then all must come out!
Council. For the establishment and further successful cultivation of roses, use cuttings of flowers grown in your area.
Preparing Roses for propagation
Flowers I love very much, and given as a gift bouquets'm always careful, trying to extend their vase life as long as possible.
The water in the vase should be changed daily. Moreover, it should be cool and settle. Each time you change the water, I will prune the tips of the stems of roses with a sharp knife to 1 cm.
I've done these procedures exactly as long as the roses begin to drop their petals. This point says that ripened shoots of roses, and comes the time to do their cuttings.
How to of grafted roses from the bouquet
For cutting cuttings need to use a sharp knife. On cutting I cut off the top part of a stalk of rose, leaving it two or three buds.
- The lower section is made obliquely, at a distance of 6-8 mm from the lower buds.
- At the top is straight cut - at a distance of two to three cm above the top bud.
All the lower leaves on the handle Make sure to remove, as they will only hinder rooting evaporating too much moisture. The remaining upper leaf I crop the scissors, leaving only his third. Sometimes even I delete all the leaves on the handle.
rooting cuttings
To make sure your cuttings take root, they should stimulate. And here to the aid of a miracle remedy comes. In people it is called "Triad".
In order to prepare the "magic elixir", you need to take half a cup of water and add defended him:
- one teaspoon of honey;
- two teaspoons of aloe juice, seasoned in the refrigerator at least one day;
- one teaspoon of wood ash.
This "magic elixir" and we put our cuttings, about 5-7 hours.
While your cuttings typed "magic" of power in the miracle elixir, you will have time to prepare pots, cups or any landing capacity. It is also worth an advance supply of nutritious soil rich in humus.
Planting cuttings into humus
At the end of allotted time we took out a miracle solution, our cuttings and planted them in the prepared soil. Now our cuttings need to create hothouse conditions. For this purpose, they can be covered or glass jar or a transparent plastic bottle. Still it is possible to put a container of cuttings planted in a transparent bag and tie it gently from above.
Our little makeshift teplichke we put in a warm place: in the refrigerator or on the kitchen cabinet. From time to time it is necessary briefly to open cuttings, to enable them to be aired and "breathe".
Important. Do not rush to take shelter, even if you have noticed that the handle has already awakened the kidney, and went to pasture leaf. That's not a sign that the sapling rooted, it will need to do a little more time.
