White fungus on rose cuttings

9 years ago

Hey to all. I've grown some new rose plants from cuttings before and never seen this. I've planted the cuttings in potting soil with hormone powder like I've done with the rest covered in a diy coke bottle green house. Watering them every 3rd day when I come home from work. Now this fungus starts growing on the cuttings. I've planted them 2weeks ago. Can someone plz tell me what is this and if there is a home made remedy for it? Thnx

That cutting is toast. The black at the bottom is the problem.

Cuttings are always a race between rooting and rotting. For this cutting, rotting won. Why exactly that happened is impossible to say. Some varieties are much slower to root than others, maybe the weather was different. There are a lot of factors.

Thnx for the reply. Luckily its the only cutting like this and all the other cuttings are okay and have nice green stems so they may be luckier. Just waiting patiently for the new leaves to form then I know I have won them.
