This is my rose marcot after just 7 days. It is very easy to care for and propagate using the simple method of marcotting. I have previously demonstrated the initial steps of marcoting the plant and explained how straightforward the technique is. Today, I'll be sharing the process of transferring a cut rose from its original plant that I marcoted.

When transplanting a plant like a rose, it's essential to prepare the vase or its designated location. Ensure that the rose has an ample root system before making the cut to ensure its continued vitality.

I also prepared vegetable and fruit peels, dividing and mixing them with crushed eggshells. Additionally, I utilized coconut husk mixed with a small amount of soil.

When using this type of natural or organic fertilizer, it's essential to add it layer by layer to the vase, ensuring a balanced distribution.
I repurposed a transparent glass from my office that was no longer in use due to a small hole. The advantage of using this glass is that its transparency allows for easy observation of the root growth.

As I carefully placed the rose into its new home, the transparent glass from my office, I couldn't help but marvel at the intricate dance of roots taking hold in the nutrient-rich mix. The journey from a simple marcot to this moment of transplanting brought forth not just a thriving plant but a profound connection to the process of growth and nurturing.

In the world of gardening, we often discover beauty in unexpected places—a discarded glass finding new purpose, vegetable, and fruit peels transforming into organic gold, and the resilience of a rose overcoming the odds. Nature, it seems, has a way of teaching us resilience, resourcefulness, and the art of transformation.
So, as I watch my rose settle into its new life, I'm reminded that every small effort, every act of care, contributes to a larger tapestry of growth and renewal. It's a lesson learned not just from the roots of a rose but from the roots of life itself—a reminder that in simplicity and resourcefulness, we find the true essence of nurturing and growth.
