How often to water roses in a pot
Roses are a flower that girls like to receive very much. They not only symbolize passionate love, but they can also be very “pragmatic”. Dried roses can be made into tea or snacks.
Depending on the situation, it is generally more appropriate to water once every 2-3 days.
Because the growing environment of potted roses and indoor air humidity will affect the frequency of watering.
If the pot soil is relatively moist, the watering interval can be appropriately extended to avoid root rot caused by over-watering.
If the pot soil is relatively dry, you should water it in time to ensure the normal growth of potted roses.
In addition, when watering, you should also pay attention to controlling the amount of watering to avoid excessive accumulation of water in the pot soil.
If you find that there is water accumulation in the pot soil, it needs to be cleaned up in time to ensure the healthy growth of the plants.
The following will introduce to you how to raise potted roses and how to grow potted roses.
How to grow potted roses
Preparation of pot soil.
① Mix 70% garbage soil and 30% river sand.
② Mix 60% dry river mud and 40% honeycomb cinder.
③ Mix 70% vegetable garden soil, 20% honeycomb cinder, and 10% river sand.
Potting time.
It should be done after the leaves fall in early winter or before budding in early spring.
Fertilizing and watering.
Potted roses are controlled by limited pot soil, so they have strict requirements on fertilizer and water.
① Compound fertilizer is generally preferred as it is both convenient and hygienic. Because compound fertilizer contains various elements, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium have a better mix. Apply about 20 grams per plant each time (the amount should not be too much). Use iron to cover the edges of the pot around the pot. Dig the soil to a depth of about 10 centimeters, then apply fertilizer and cover with soil.
② Watering is one of the basic tasks of growing flowers, but it is often the reason why plants die easily. Watering depends on the potting soil. Once it is dry, water it thoroughly. If it is too wet, it will easily cause root rot. The soil in the pot should be changed every other year. When changing the pot, the surrounding roots at the bottom of the pot should be cut off, so that the flowers can be more, larger and more colorful.
Plastic trimming
Generally, no pruning is required. Old plants can be pruned away from dense branches, withered branches, and diseased and insect-infested branches. Roses bloom, pick them as they bloom and fall, and bloom again after picking, otherwise they will only bloom once.
Flowering period control
Generally, the natural flowering period is better.
Choose flat land with deep soil, loose layout, and good drainage to create a rose garden. Dig pits with a spacing of 50 cm between plants and 150-200 cm between rows. The depth of the pit is 50 cm. Apply 10 kilograms of field fertilizer or bio-organic fertilizer to each pit.
To choose a good seedling, choose a strong rose seedling. The sprouted seedling should have 2-3 branches; the grafted seedling requires a well-developed root system, a stem diameter of 3-4 mm, and a plant height of 30 cm. It must be planted as it comes and shipped to other places. Seedlings should be packed with pulp.
Reasonable dense planting requires about 700 rose seedlings per acre. Since there are few seedlings that year, in order to save land, 1,500-2,000 rose seedlings can be planted per acre. In the second year, the seedlings can be transplanted or sold. They should be planted in spring before the roses sprout. It is held in early spring; autumn planting is held from October to December, and summer planting is held on rainy days during the rainy season.
Scientifically manage cultivating and weeding. Because the seedlings are small, weeds can easily grow. Weeding must be done promptly to ensure that the seedlings are not damaged and there is no weed. Keep the soil loose.
Fertilization is mainly based on organic fertilizers, and is usually topdressed four times a year. The first time around Qingming Festival is to pour livestock manure water, which is called germination fertilizer, and water it in time. The second time in late April is before budding or flower picking. Manure and water are used to promote more and full flower buds; bio-organic fertilizer is applied in May, and overwintering fertilizer is applied in late autumn and early winter to ensure that the seedlings survive the winter safely.
Prune off old branches, diseased branches, and weak branches after flowering in June and during the winter dormancy period to allow new branches to grow. Pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases at all stages of field management.
Pest and disease control
The main pests of potted roses are caterpillars and scale insects. Caterpillars are easy to control. Once scale insects attack, they are more difficult to control and will cause the entire plant to be infested with insects and cause diseases. Therefore, the prevention and control of scale insects is the focus of domestic roses. To prevent and control scale insects, place roses in a well-ventilated and well-lit area, cut off branches with many roses, and retain a few main branches to allow internal ventilation.
Keep the potting soil moist but not waterlogged. When white spots are found on rose branches, scrape them off with bamboo chips in time. If it is serious, cut off the entire branch or even all the branches, and spray scale insecticides together.
Roses are not afraid of pruning, and we will also introduce the pruning of roses below. If you want roses to grow well and bloom more, pruning is very important. Generally, when overwintering, all branches should be cut off about 10 centimeters above the ground to ensure smooth overwintering.
After spring, new shoots sprout. Select 2-3 new shoots and break off the rest with your hands. When the new shoots grow to about 10-15 centimeters, pick off the tops with your hands. After a few days, each branch will grow again. Produce 2-3 new buds, so that the whole rose plant will be complete and compact. Water and fertilizer can be concentrated on a few branches, and the flowers will be large and the number can be as you wish.
After blooming, you can cut off the flower branches that have bloomed, and new flower branches will grow soon. If you want bigger flowers, keep fewer flower branches and remove some excess flower buds. If you want more flowers, top them more often. Roses consume a lot of nutrients when blooming, so they must be fertilized in time before budding and after blooming.
Maintenance of roses
1. Wrap them with plastic film. After selecting satisfactory flowers, be sure to wrap them in bunches with plastic film to avoid losing water. Cut them as soon as possible after returning home and insert them in water to extend the viewing period.
2. Fill a glass vase with about two-thirds of water, add a little salt, and cut off about one centimeter of the lower part of each flower stem. The cut should be in a horseshoe shape, that is, an oblique mouth, so that it can be kept for about a week.
3. Soak the flower roots in hot water for 15 seconds, then subtract the soaked part. Just insert it into the vase and it will last for a week.
4. Add 5% white sugar and 50PPM silver nitrate per liter of water in the bottle to prepare a bottle insert solution.
5. Roses that have been packaged into bunches usually contain water in the package. Just pour a bowl of water every day.
