Select a pot with good drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Roses prefer larger pots with enough space for roots to grow.
Consistent watering is essential, but avoid over-watering as roses prefer slightly dry soil between waterings.
Strip away all but the top leaves. This prevents the plant from losing moisture and helps it focus on developing roots.
Dip the cut end of the stem in rooting hormone. This step boosts root growth and improves the likelihood of your rose cutting thriving.
Place the stem in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. Keep the cutting in a pot or a garden area with indirect sunlight.
Keep an eye out for pests like aphids and spider mites, and treat them using natural methods or appropriate insecticides.
Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and protect roots while ensuring the soil remains weed-free for healthy rose growth.
