6. Position Your Glass
Place the glass in a bright spot where it will get indirect sunlight. Avoid direct harsh sunlight that might scorch the cutting.
7. Change the Water Regularly
Replace the water every 2 to 3 days to keep it fresh and oxygenated. Clean the glass to prevent algae or bacterial growth.
8. Wait for Roots to Grow
Within a few weeks, you’ll notice roots starting to form. When the roots are at least a couple of inches long, your rose cutting is ready to be transplanted into soil or kept growing hydroponically if you prefer.
Tips for Success
- Be patient! Root development can take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks.
- Use filtered or distilled water if your tap water is heavily chlorinated.
- Avoid disturbing the cutting too much during the rooting process.
- Once transplanted to soil, continue to care for your rose like a regular plant—water regularly and provide plenty of sunlight.
Final Thoughts
No more running to the garden center and spending money on rose trees that might not survive. By growing your own rose plant from a simple cutting in water, you’re not just saving money — you’re creating a beautiful living memory that you nurtured yourself. Give this easy method a try, and soon you’ll have a lovely rose tree growing right on your windowsill!
