After exactly 2 snips I got too nervous to continue trimming. It's my first time owning roses so until I get more confident trimming will be a nerve wrecking procedure.
Well I thought i'd try to do something I read online once.
Rooting roses in potatoes! Who would have ever thought of such a thing?
They apparently have just enough moisture and nutrients for the cuttings to root.
So I got some old potatoes and stuck them in there!
So Here is what you do:
1. Poke a hole in the potato, I used a fork.
2. Stick the fresh rose cutting into a bottle of rooting powder then put the cutting into the potato.
3. Burry the potato with the rose cutting in a pot with soil. Fill enough to just cover the Potato.
4. Place out of direct sunlight.
5. Keep the soil moist and see what happens is all that's left. If it works you and I will have free roses!
I'l keep up to date on this but here are pics for now.
Freshly cut rose stems stuck into the potato.
Added the soil and now I wait.
Have you done any projects similar to this? Have any helpful hints? Questions? Feel free to ask/tell below!
