Can you grow roses from cuttings in potatoes? True or False? Watch the real result. This video was made to reveal the truth about growing rose cuttings using the potato rooting method. Numerous websites and YouTube videos try to convince you that this method works and works really well, especially with cut roses. We have summarized all these recommendations and tried to follow them step by step. All sources have slightly different techniques and tips, but the same tricky conclusion: stick the rose cuttings into the potato and watch them grow. There is no explanation as to why this method will be successful. Of course, our result was negative. And we were completely sure that it would happen, and there is a scientific explanation for this. Science tells us that damaged vegetables produce ethylene almost immediately. Even more ethylene will be produced later, when soil inhabitants such as bacteria and fungi get into the potato wound and the rotting process begins. Ethylene is a volatile plant hormone that acts against the root hormone auxin and the growth hormone cytokinin. There is a multi-level interaction between all of them and the result is that large amounts of ethylene, much higher than normal levels, are released from rotten and damaged potatoes. This level of ethylene can even kill the rose itself. No other factor like the ones we have summarized in this video will outweigh such a strong effect of ethylene, including the length of the rose stem, the thickness of the rose pieces, the presence of green leaves for photosynthesis, the presence of a greenhouse effect, the angle of the cut, etc. and the number of nodes or buds on the rose stem. #roses #rosesinthegarden #rootingcuttings #rooting #growingroses #growing #growthhormone Rooting a rose from a bouquet.
