Potted roses do not need to choose too big when choosing pots, and the caliber is between 20-30 centimeters. If the flowerpot is too big, the seedlings planted are not conducive to light transmission and poor ventilation. If it is too small and the growth space is insufficient, it will hinder the growth and affect the later flowering. In addition to the size, but also pay attention to the material of the pot, to ensure good permeability, so as to be more conducive to growth.

3. Cuttage Methods

Branch: Cut a section of branch from the mother plant, and it is better to use the branch that is born in the same year.Then remove the lower part of the leaves, leaving 3 or 4 at the top.After pruning, they should dip in the liquid medicine, use vitamin B12, rooting liquid, etc., and then dry for use.
