To embark on the journey of having a garden filled with fragrant and colorful roses, follow this innovative yet straightforward method. Planting roses without roots involves a step-by-step process:
- Obtain a Cutting: Select a rose bush and delicately cut a branch approximately the thickness of a pencil.
- Thorn Removal: Use wire cutters to eliminate thorns and old leaves from the cutting.
- Diagonal Cut: Create a diagonal cut on the stem and check for any new shoots.
- Water Soak: Immerse the cutting in water to sustain its vitality.
Simultaneously, prepare a DIY greenhouse for the soil:
- Cut a 5-Liter Bottle: Trim a water bottle to 7cm, leaving a plastic flap for easy opening and closing.
- Coconut Fiber Layer: Add a layer of coconut fiber to the base of the bottle to retain humidity within the greenhouse.
- Aloe Vera Boost: Some gardeners suggest incorporating a small piece of aloe vera to enhance root strength and growth.
- Aloe Application: Rub the cutting’s base with aloe and insert it into the coconut fiber.
