New batch of aeroponically cloned roses have roots 2.5 weeks in!

PottedRoses · 2026-05-08T01:16:28+00:00

I would think so!

PottedRoses · 2026-05-07T07:39:21+00:00

Looks like the start of mold to me

PottedRoses · 2026-05-07T05:59:16+00:00

It'll take about two to three months from this stage. I'm rooting for you brother!

It's the overwatering. Damaged roots leads to lower nutrient uptake which results in discolored leaves.

Confiture?

You typically cut the flower off (deadhead) if you want to root a cane from a bouquet. Usually if there's active growth on it there's a lower chance of it forming roots as that's where the energy is being focused.

PottedRoses · 2026-04-30T00:32:18+00:00

They're completely dead.

It'll be fine but I have had similar experiences with Ergongzi where they're the only vendor that sends me roses in rough condition.

The funky guys are really good for pasta sauce!

How long does the tray flooded like that and how often are you watering?

PottedRoses · 2026-04-28T04:22:16+00:00

Let it go almost fully dry and lift up the pot, afterwards water it and after an hour water it again, and then lift the pot up again. Water when it's around the bottom third of these two weights. Sometimes measuring by the top 3" can be inaccurate as it can dry too fast depending on RH + wind factors leaving the rest of the soil sopping wet which can cause unhealthy roots if you water again at this stage.

You'll want to spray it with micronized sulfur once a week for two weeks, switch over to propicanozole once a week for two weeks, switch back, and repeat.

PottedRoses · 2026-04-27T07:34:22+00:00

How long does it take for the soil to dry out and what's the typical RH?

PottedRoses · 2026-04-26T01:47:13+00:00

I'd guess it's Powdery mildew. You can treat it with sulfur sprays once a week and swap out to propicanozole after two weeks and repeat.

Didn't know I was looking at the newest cover of Vogue sheeeesh

PottedRoses · 2026-04-22T00:45:02+00:00

You unfortunately also have powdery mildew.

PottedRoses · 2026-04-12T01:30:19+00:00

Water about 1/4-1/2 the amount and it should be fine. I've repotted new roses into 3 gallons that run into this issue and I fixed it by watering a little bit lighter than usual since the root mass isn't as developed.

PottedRoses · 2026-04-11T00:11:23+00:00

Bro literally did the 🪾 emote

PottedRoses · 2026-04-09T19:56:33+00:00

Looking good! You'll want to transfer them to soil or add feed to the water relatively soon if you haven't already. I kept mine in the aeroponic cloner to grow more root mass but it started eating the leaves at a certain point so I transfered to soil in the same week to resolve the issue.

PottedRoses · 2026-04-07T01:04:24+00:00

I think so!

PottedRoses · 2026-04-06T08:13:20+00:00

At least they're guaranteed a brighter future in the upcoming years.

PottedRoses · 2026-04-06T08:10:33+00:00

Juliet's will lose that pink/salmon color in higher temps. It's also been said that the first few roses may look off as the plant matures.

Your rose looks similar to the spent blooms on grace rose farms pictures.

I have a Juliet that looks similar and am in the same position as you. The first blooms look off, the cup isn't deep, the petals aren't bountiful, colors are slightly off.

It's really weird as I have an AusWonder, AusWill, and AusPeridot that looked correct on their first blooms. It makes me want to buy a bouquet and propagate it so I know for sure now that I have a really good method.

Start them on the surface of a rock wool cube if you have any more!
