I take great pride in sharing the best practices for growing and propagating flowers, especially my precious roses.
1. Coca-Cola Rose Propagation: Preparing the Rose Cutting
First, select a healthy red rose, vibrant and full of life. Cut a stem about 15 cm long.
Use a clove of garlic to disinfect the cutting surface. Garlic contains natural antibacterial properties which help protect the cutting from infections and harmful bacteria.
2. Mixing Your Natural Rooting Solution for Coca-Cola Rose Propagation
Ingredients and Benefits
Coca-Cola has mild acidity and sugars that boost plant energy and support early root growth. Garlic has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties that protect cuttings and promote root growth.
Rice is packed with enzymes and nutrients. Rice nourishes roots and stimulates growth, especially when soaked.
Make the Garlic and Coca-Cola Base
Prepare five cloves of garlic. Peel and finely chop them.
Pour 300 ml of Coca-Cola into the cup containing the garlic. When combined, garlic acts as a natural protector, safeguarding cuttings while stimulating root growth.
Meanwhile, Coca-Cola creates a favorable environment, providing the necessary conditions for rose cuttings to thrive and develop rapidly. Leave the mixture for about 20 minutes.
Prepare the Rice Water
Take five tablespoons of rice. Rice water is rich in vitamins and proteins necessary for plant growth.
Add 200 ml of clean water to the rice and stir well. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes.
3. Final Setup for Coca-Cola Rose Propagation
Secure the Cutting
Use a piece of sponge as a soft lid to gently hold the rose cutting in place. Secure the cutting with a soft plastic tie to keep it stable and ensure good humidity.
Strain, Dilute, and Place the Cutting
Once the mixture has been soaked, strain out any remaining solids, keeping only the liquid solution. Add 100 ml of clean water to dilute the solution, ensuring the mixture is the right strength for use.
Once the suitable solution is prepared, pour it into a cup and gently place the rose cutting into the mixture. Use another cup to cover the rose cutting, creating a conducive environment for growth while allowing the cutting to retain moisture.
Placement and Early Growth
Keep the container in a cool, well ventilated area away from direct sunlight. After about 10 days, you will start to see new shoots sprouting and a beautiful network of roots forming.
A promising beginning for a strong new rose plant.
Final Thoughts
This method uses garlic, Coca-Cola, and rice water to protect cuttings, nourish roots, and support early growth. Follow the steps carefully to give your rose cutting the best start.
Wishing you happy gardening and everyday filled with beauty and growth.
