Did you receive a beautiful bouquet of roses and feel sorry that its lifespan is limited and the flowers will wilt after a while? If you have a piece of garden, you can turn your bouquet into a beautiful flower bed that will please you whenever you look at it. I can’t praise the yeast solution enough; it worked best for me.
Not only in a vase, but also in a flower bed or in a pot.
Yeast solution
- Prepare a mixture of 1 liter of water and 100 ml of crumbled yeast.
- Place the roses in this solution so that one-third of their stems are submerged.
- Leave them for 2 days.
- Then remove the roses, rinse their stems in warm water and soak them again in this solution, this time up to half their length.
- When the amount of water decreases, you may need to top it up to maintain the original volume.
- Leave the stems in the solution until roots appear.
Honey water
- Prepare a mixture of 1 liter of water and 1 teaspoon of honey.
- Dissolve the honey in the water.
- Soak one-third of the length of the roses in this solution.
- Leave for 10 – 12 hours.
- Then remove the cuttings and place them in a bowl of clean water, soaking half their length.
Aloe vera
- Prepare a mixture of 1 liter of water and 10 drops of freshly squeezed aloe juice.
- Soak half the length of the rose cuttings in this solution.
- You need to monitor the water level and when it drops, top up the water so that it again covers half the cuttings.
- After about 10 days add another 5 – 7 drops of aloe juice. This mixture accelerates the formation of lateral roots and activates the regeneration of plant cells.
If the cuttings have a sufficient number of roots, they should be planted in soil.
Depending on your preferences, the roses can be grown in pots with a special substrate or in the garden with favorable conditions for growing plants.
