1. Selecting Cuttings: Choose healthy rose stems with 3-4 leaf nodes, around 6-8 inches long.
2. Preparing Cuttings: Trim stems just below a leaf node, removing flowers or buds.
3. Wrapping in Toilet Paper: Dampen toilet paper, wrap it around the stem, covering it completely.
4. Optional Rooting Hormone: Dip the wrapped end in rooting hormone powder for faster root growth.
5. Planting: Insert the wrapped end into well-draining potting mix in small pots or containers.
6. Covering: Place clear plastic bags or wrap over pots to create a mini greenhouse effect.
7. Ideal Conditions: Put pots in warm, bright area with indirect sunlight. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.
8. Monitoring: Check for new growth regularly and mist with water to maintain humidity.
9. Transplanting: After 6-8 weeks, when roots develop, transplant into larger pots or garden carefully.
10. Continued Care: Water regularly, provide sunlight, and fertilize for healthy growth and blooming.
With these steps, you can successfully propagate roses using toilet paper, expanding your garden effortlessly.
