😱 Trying to Propagate Roses Using Chicken Egg Yolks – And the Surprising Results!

Have you ever tried propagating roses at home, wondering if a small cutting could truly grow into a new plant with a healthy root system? In today's video, I will guide you step by step through the process, from preparing the cuttings and treating the base to setting up the ideal environment for growth. How long do you think it takes for a rose cutting to begin developing its very first roots? Stay tuned until the end to see the results. Learn how to transplant your new rose into a pot, and let me know in the comments which country you're watching from. To begin today's propagation process, select a rose in full bloom that you particularly like. Before we continue, please leave a comment letting me know which country you are watching from. I'm always delighted to connect with plant lovers from all over the world. Next, use a pair of shears to cut a stem segment about 15 to 20 centimeters long, measuring downward from the bloom. Choose a healthy, fresh-looking stem that shows no signs of pests or disease. Then, use your shears to remove all the leaves and thorns from the portion of the stem you intend to propagate. Finally, trim the base with a clean, precise cut, taking care not to crush or damage the stem. Next, we will perform disinfection using a specialized alcohol solution. Apply the alcohol to the cuts to prevent harmful bacteria from entering and damaging the plant. Now, we will prepare a chicken egg and separate the yolk from the white. Crack the egg gently, then pass the yolk back and forth between the two shell halves, allowing the egg white to drain away. For today's recipe, we will only be using the yolk the egg white is not needed. Place the yolk into a clean cup, ready to be combined with the next ingredient. next take a fresh lemon and cut it in half to prepare the juice squeeze the juice from one half of the lemon into a container holding the egg yolk then stir well with a spoon until the two ingredients are thoroughly combined egg yolks contain proteins fats and various vitamins however they have not been proven effective as a rooting agent when applied directly to rose cuttings lemon juice contains citric acid and vitamin c which increases the acidity of the mixture. It is important to note that a solution that is too acidic can be harmful to plant tissue. Following this recipe, place the base of the rose cutting into the mixture for 10 minutes. After completing the initial soaking step, use the remaining half of the lemon to prepare the next mixture. Squeeze the lemon juice into a clean cup and set the peel aside for later use. Lemon peels contain natural essential oils, including limonene, along with various other plant compounds that give them their characteristic aroma. Next, finely chop the lemon peel and add it to the cup containing the lemon juice. Now, take a potato, peel it, and set the peels aside to use in this recipe. Cut the potato peels into small pieces and add them to the cup containing the lemon peels. While potato peels contain starch, fiber, and certain minerals like potassium, these components do not guarantee that the mixture will effectively stimulate the rooting of rose cuttings. Next, pour 200 milliliters of clean water into the cup, stir well, and let it sit for about five minutes. While waiting for the cuttings to soak for the required amount of time, prepare some clean river sand to serve as a rooting medium. Fill a cup about two-thirds full with the sand, then add the egg yolk, and finally top off the cup with more sand. Clean sand helps hold the cuttings in place and provides space for air circulation. However, it is important to maintain the right level of moisture so that the base of the cutting neither dries out nor becomes waterlogged. After five minutes, prepare a clean strainer. Slowly strain the mixture to remove the lemon peels and potato skins, keeping only the liquid. Next, use this liquid to moisten the sand in the cup, pouring it in gradually until the sand is evenly damp. Be careful not to add too much water, As the sand should not become waterlogged, the base of the cutting needs access to air. Once the sand has reached the right level of moisture, make a small hole in the center of the cup. Gently insert the base of the rose cutting into the sand, about 3 to 4 centimeters deep, and then pack the sand around it to hold the cutting in place. Next, use a transparent plastic bag to cover the cup and rose branches, then wrap tightly with tape underneath to limit moisture from escaping. Place the nursery cup in a cool place with indirect light and avoid direct sunlight shining on the plastic bag, causing the internal temperature to increase. In the following days, observe the humidity and condition of the branches, and open the air if signs of overheating or mold appear. It is time to check on the rose cutting after 5 days in a humid propagation environment. You can see water droplets inside the plastic bag, which indicates that moisture has condensed on its surface. However, this alone is not enough to conclude that the cutting has taken root, so we need to examine the base directly. Now, I will carefully remove the plastic bag to observe the condition of the rose cutting. Next, slowly take the root ball, the sand and the cutting, out of the cup, being careful not to damage any young roots that may have emerged. Examine the part of the stem buried in the sand closely, looking for signs that new roots are forming if the cutting has rooted you might see small white or ivory colored roots growing from the stem if you don't see any roots after five days don't be discouraged the time it takes for roots to develop depends on the quality of the cutting the temperature and the care provided do you find this method of propagating roses easy to try at home please leave a comment to share your own experiences and don't forget to let me know where you are watching from At the end of the video, I will show you how to transplant a rose plant, now that it has developed roots, into a new pot. This is an important step, as it helps the plant further adapt to its growing environment and allows its root system to become more established. When a plant grows well, receives proper care, and gets enough light, it will continue to produce new shoots and subsequent flushes of blooms. Now, let's prepare the potting mix and get started with the transplanting. First, prepare a pot with plenty of drainage holes at the bottom to prevent water from pooling around the root system. Next, use pre-treated coconut coir as the growing medium for your rose plant. When prepared and used correctly, coconut coir retains moisture while providing excellent aeration, creating an ideal environment for the roots to continue growing. Add a layer of the growing medium to the bottom of the pot, then gently place the plant in the center and spread out the roots. Continue adding coconut coir until the roots are completely covered then. Adjust the plant so it stands upright and secure it firmly in place. Once planted, water the rose slowly until the growing medium is evenly moistened and any excess water drains out through the holes at the bottom of the pot. Finally, place the rose pot in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from harsh, direct sunlight during the initial period. Thank you for following HT Garden. See you in the next video. Thank you.
