Just a little yogurt to grow rose roots from the stem
The propagation of roses using cuttings is a popular method to multiply your plants. A simple trick is to use yogurt to help develop roots on rose stems.
Materials required:
- Fresh rose branch
- Natural yogurt (not sweet)
- Planting pot
- Earth
- Clean scissors
- Water spray
Steps to follow:
1. Preparation of branch: Choose a healthy and fresh branch of the rose plant you want to spread. Gently cut a stem about 15 cm long.
2. Removal of lower leaves: Carefully remove the lower leaves from the stem to expose a larger area to the roots.
3. Yogurt application: Soak the base of the stem in wild yogurt. Be sure to cover the area where the roots are likely to form.
4. Stem planting: Insert the prepared stem into a pot filled with light, well drained soil. Slightly ground around the stem to ensure good stability.
5. Watering and maintenance: Use a spray to moisten the soil slightly around the stem. Place the pot in a bright place but in direct sunlight. Keep the soil moist but not wet.
6. Patience and Observation: Monitor stem changes and growth. It may take a few weeks before the roots begin to form. Continue to maintain the cutting carefully.
By following these simple steps and using yogurt to promote root development, you can easily spread roses from individual stems. This economical and natural method can allow you to get new plants of roses in no time.
