Caring for roses brings me peace of mind, thanks to the vibrant colors of their leaves and flowers. I was pleasantly surprised when, just four days after adding fertile soil, the rose plant's health improved, with new buds emerging from its sides, followed by beautiful rosebuds.
I decided to propagate it further by grafting it onto other rootstocks. I aim to graft more than five pieces, as I plan to give one to my officemate.
This time, I employed a different method using what's known as 'coco peat,' derived from the dried skin of coconut fruit. It not only helps retain moisture in the soil for extended periods but also acts as an organic fertilizer once the grafted plant is transferred into the vase.
The process remains the same: gently remove some bark from the tree or rose stem and wrap it with 'coco peat,' covered in plastic. Ensure the surface has small openings to allow for watering.
Just wait for 10 to 15 days, and you'll see the results! You'll notice roots emerging from the plastic, indicating successful grafting. Once roots appear, carefully cut it off and transfer it to the vase. But before transferring, soak it in water for an hour to preserve its fresh juice.
In the art of grafting roses, patience yields the most beautiful blooms. As we nurture these delicate creations, may they serve as a reminder of nature's resilience and our ability to cultivate beauty from simplicity. Happy gardening, and may your gardens be filled with love and blossoms!

I appreciate those who supported and trusted me to create original content. I want you to know that I'll only be writing about my plants until March. I'm considering stopping because all my hard work in writing is being ignored due to the downvotes of a toxic Leader of Filipino from hiveph. If I didn't care about this site, it would have broken down like Steemit a long time ago, receiving automatic comments that most people dislike. Once again, Thank You very much.
