I share my passion for gardening, especially everything related to the care and propagation of beautiful roses. I’m excited to show you a special method for propagating roses using only natural organic materials. This is a simple and eco friendly technique that anyone can follow at home.
1. Natural Rose Cutting Propagation: Prepare the Cutting
Select a rose bloom with a vibrant color and healthy stem. Cut the stem to about 15 cm (approximately 6 inches) and remove all the leaves.
Take 1 clove of garlic and gently rub it over the cut end. Garlic acts as a natural disinfectant protecting the cutting from potential diseases.
2. Natural Rose Cutting Propagation: Prepare the Rooting Solution
Ingredients and benefits for Natural Rose Cutting Propagation
In this step we will prepare a powerful natural rooting solution using four easily available ingredients: aloe vera, rice, coffee, and garlic. Aloe vera boosts root growth and protects cuttings naturally. Rice releases nutrients like vitamins and proteins into the water, creating a mild fertilizer that keeps plants healthy and promotes healthy root growth.
Used in moderation, coffee provides nitrogen and antioxidants that improve cell quality, enhance nutrient uptake, and stimulate root growth. Garlic acts as a natural antibacterial and antifungal agent, protecting young cuttings from infections and supporting healthy root development.
Take one small aloe vera branch and slice it thinly. Aloe vera, often called nature’s miracle plant, not only enhances human beauty but also works wonders for plant propagation. I believe every garden should have at least one aloe vera plant.
Mix the solution
Add three tablespoons of rice, about 20 grams, 1 teaspoon of ground coffee, and 300 milliliters of water. Stir thoroughly to combine. Place your rose cutting into the aloe vera mixture and let it soak for about five minutes.
Finally, chop two more cloves of garlic.
3. Natural Rose Cutting Propagation: Prepare the Growing Medium
Prepare clean river sand as the growing medium. It offers excellent drainage. After soaking, strain the aloe mixture to remove any residues.
Use the strained liquid to moisten the river sand. This creates an ideal lightly fertilized environment for rooting. Insert about half of the rose cutting into the moist sand.
Cover the container tightly with another cup. This helps maintain high humidity and reduces evaporation. Place the flower cup in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
Results with Natural Rose Cutting Propagation
After just 5 days, you’ll be amazed to see strong healthy roots developing in the sand. You may also notice new shoots and buds starting to grow.
Final Thoughts
This natural method is simple, eco friendly, and effective for rooting rose cuttings at home. With basic materials like aloe vera, rice, coffee, garlic, and clean river sand, you can support healthy root development and early growth. Follow the steps carefully to give your cuttings the best start.
