If you have a rose plant on your balcony or received one as a gift and want to multiply them to have more, you’ll be glad to know that it’s possible to do so just by using their stems. Roses are among the most beautiful flowers around and can enhance any area of your home, regardless of their color.
While roses are often considered challenging to cultivate, propagating them from a stem allows you to reproduce them abundantly, making their reproduction almost endless. This is a straightforward task that requires no gardening experience.
Here’s how you can get a beautiful collection of roses starting from a stem.
First Step The first thing to do is identify the ideal location for your roses. Dig a hole about 15 cm deep and fill it with sand. Follow these tips to choose the right spot:
- Avoid placing roses too close to each other.
- Keep roses away from walls or under trees.
- Ensure roses receive air and preferably morning sunlight.
Second Step Obtain rose stems or cuttings that will be used to propagate and create your garden. The important thing is that the stems measure approximately 20-25 centimeters in length.
Third Step This step is as simple as it is crucial. Clean the rose stems by removing leaves and impurities to facilitate their regeneration.
Fourth Step Insert the rose stems into the sand, leaving space between them. Push the stems well into the sand to secure them.
Fifth Step Cover the rose stems with fertilized soil and press it down firmly with your feet to compact it.
Your work is done; now, all that’s left is to wait for nature to take its course. In no time, you’ll have a flourishing collection of beautiful roses.
