Introduction
When you want to spread roses, cuttings are an efficient and economical method. In this article, we will guide you step by step on how to grow a rose from cutting using coconut fiber as a growth substrate.
Materials required:
- Bouture of rose
- Coconut fibre
- Croppot
- Water
- Fertilizers for plants
Steps to follow:
Here’s how to grow a rose from cutting in coconut fiber:
1. Preparation of cutting:
Choose a healthy, non-flowering stem from your rose to make it a cutting. The stem should be about 15 cm long and have some leaves. Remove the lower leaves to leave only a few at the top.
2. Preparation of substrate:
Fill a croppot with previously humidified coconut fiber. Make sure the substrate is ventilated and draining well to promote the development of the cutting roots.
3. Planting the cutting:
Make a hole in the substrate using a stick or pencil and gently insert the pink cutting. Lightly pull the substrate around the cutting to keep it in place.
4. Watering:
Water the freshly planted cutting thoroughly to ensure optimal hydration. Ensure that the substrate remains moist but not wet throughout the growth process.
5. Location and maintenance:
Place the pot containing the cutting in a bright place but in direct sunlight. Make sure to maintain a constant temperature and fertilize the plant regularly with fertilizer suitable for growth.
6. Root development:
After a few weeks, roots should begin to form from the cutting. Once the roots are well established, you can consider transplanting the rose into a larger pot or into the ground.
Conclusion:
By following these simple steps, you will be able to grow a beautiful rose from cutting in coconut fiber. This method of propagation is not only rewarding, but also ecological, as it allows you to multiply your favorite plants without having to buy new varieties. Enjoy your beautiful rose and its abundant flowering obtained through your own work and patience.
