Why are my roses dying
Speaking of roses, the picture that appears in people’s minds is love. Indeed, in ancient Greek mythology, the meaning of roses is that love and beauty come together, and they are the incarnation of the God of Beauty and blended into the blood of the God of Love. Roses are usually used to express love. Every time Valentine’s Day comes, the value of roses doubles. Many people buy roses to express their love for their partners. It is not difficult to find that although many friends have a special liking for roses, when they plant roses, they suddenly die after raising them. What has actually happened? Come with me to learn the technical points of growing roses!
If you want to plant roses in a large area, it is recommended that you choose to plant them in autumn. Why choose autumn? Because there is more rain in spring and roots are more likely to rot, in summer the weather is hotter and more likely to become dehydrated, and in winter plants go into dormancy. Only autumn weather is the best time to plant roses. In terms of seed selection, it is recommended to buy rose seedlings for planting. Of course, I have no objection if you want to use seeds, hahaha… However, planting rose seedlings has a much higher survival rate and on the other hand, it will save a lot of time. If you don’t know where to buy it, you can search it on Taobao or Taobao, and you will find a lot. But it is worth noting that I personally recommend buying one-year seedlings or two-year seedlings.
Are you confused? Shouldn’t the older the better? So let me ask you some questions:
1. From an economic point of view, who is cheaper when comparing the price of one- or two-year-old seedlings and those of five- or six-year-old seedlings?
2. Comparing young people with old people, are young people more energetic than old people?
3. Seedlings that are five or six years old are basically mature and have uneven germination, which is not conducive to pruning and shaping. Seedlings that are one or two years old are the opposite. Which one would you choose? Of course, seedlings that are five or six years old also have an advantage, that is, the flowers are larger.
When purchasing rose seedlings and sending them back, do not rush to remove the packaging. Instead, ventilate the rose seedlings for 1 hour and then soak them in water for 3 hours, because the rose seedlings will cause local dehydration during transportation. Take out the rose seedlings and put them in a cool place to dry. If there are some black branches that will appear on the second day, trim them with scissors. After completing the above steps, choose alkaline soil with good drainage for planting. It is best to ensure sufficient sunlight in a sunny place and ensure water source to avoid severe dehydration and death of the plant. If the planting method is the same on your own balcony, only 1/3 of the tree head part of the seedlings should be left when planting.
Under normal circumstances, according to the above methods, roses can grow healthily, but if the roses suddenly turn yellow and wither, it may be due to the following reasons:
watering
In hot weather like summer, if you find that the roses placed on the balcony have been exposed to the sun and the soil has become dry and the leaves are dry, do not pour water down at this time. This will cause the roots of the flowers to rot and the leaves to shrink. . Just like when a person suddenly jumps into the water to swim under the sun, you can imagine what will happen. The correct approach is to put the roses in a cool place and wait for a period of time before watering.
Fertilize
A real example: A customer came to my house to buy flowers. Before leaving, he picked up a handful of compound fertilizer and put it into the potted plants. He couldn’t stop him even if he wanted to. Then two or three days later, I came back and said that the flowers started to wither for no reason, and that there was something wrong with my flowers. I was speechless. Some people think that applying more fertilizer will make the flowers bloom bigger and more beautiful, so they just apply fertilizer one by one. However, in fact, too much compound fertilizer will burn the flower roots, and in severe cases, it will directly cause the death of the plant. The correct approach is: when applying fertilizer, water it thoroughly first and apply as little as possible, which can shorten the fertilization cycle. If excessive fertilization is found, immediately flush away the remaining fertilizer with water and water heavily. If you feel that you really can’t control the amount of fertilizer, you can choose water fertilizer or controlled-release fertilizer.
Invasion of pests and diseases
Speaking of the difficulty in growing roses, it is the attack of pests and diseases. For example, strong winds, heavy rains, or sudden cooling or heating will lead to the invasion of germs, so you should pay attention to keeping it clean and removing fallen leaves. You can also use some preventive pesticides to prevent damage from pests and diseases. If you want to grow roses well, prevention should be the main method and treatment should be supplemented. Of course, it is impossible to spray pesticides when growing roses at home like in the fields, especially if there are children at home, so it is recommended that you choose a (portable, low-toxicity, ready-to-spray universal pesticide) and spray it in a ventilated area on the balcony.
Having said all that, if your roses are withered, you should first understand the reasons why the roses are withered, and then take the right medicine. The most important thing is to clean up the dead and diseased branches first to avoid further deterioration of the disease. Usually, the reason why roses wilt is due to more attacks by diseases and insect pests, so if you want to grow roses well, you need to carry out prevention and control. The main focus is on prevention and treatment as a supplement. Don’t wait until the disease occurs before treating it. Waiting until the disease occurs and then treating it will not repair it.
