Have you ever imagined that you could propagate roses at home without using chemical stimulants? Prepare a rose and follow my instructions.
This Garlic-Rice Rose Propagation method uses simple kitchen ingredients to kill bacteria, stimulate root growth, and protect roses from disease and insects.
1. Why Garlic-Rice Rose Propagation Works
Why do we use garlic and rice?
Garlic helps kill bacteria, stimulates root growth, and protects roses from disease and insects. The mixture of water, rice, and garlic not only helps kill bacteria, but also stimulates root growth, but also creates the ideal environment for rose branches to take root and grow strongly.
2. Step-by-Step Garlic-Rice Rose Propagation
Step 1. Prepare the cutting
Rub the garlic clove around the cut.
Step 2. Make the garlic-rice solution
We peel and chop three cloves of garlic and mix with five tablespoons of rice. Add 500 ml of water to the mixture and stir well. We need to filter out the remaining residue, keeping only the prepared garlic solution.
Step 3. Prepare the growing medium
Use toilet paper. You heard that right. Although it may sound strange, you will be surprised at how effective it is.
Moisten the paper with the garlic rice solution. Toilet paper acts as a growing medium that not only helps maintain stable moisture, but also protects the roots and branches, supports faster rooting, clean and environmentally friendly.
Step 4. Wrap and cover
Use a thin layer of paper to wrap around the base of the rose. We used a larger cup and covered it tightly to protect the plant from moisture loss. This is an important step for the plant to grow well without wilting.
Step 5. Provide the right conditions
Place the plant in a cool place away from direct sunlight. You will see the first sprouts marking the new life starting from the old flower branch.
Step 6. Pot up
Now it’s time to remove the old growing medium and transfer the plant to a new pot, ready for a powerful growth journey.
