Rose planting methods and precautions

As my country’s urbanization process continues to reach a new level, towering high-rise buildings filled with reinforced concrete fill our lives. People are increasingly discovering that we need some green in our lives to relax our nervous mood and calm down in the fast-paced life. The floral fragrance of roses is intoxicating and has become one of the most popular varieties. However, when people plant them, they will find that the roses they plant will always encounter many problems, such as no flowering, few flowering, and rapid withering. . It always makes people feel sad when they see such problems in their carefully planted roses. In fact, the main reasons are environmental and maintenance issues. Therefore, what issues do we need to pay attention to when growing roses?

Precautions for planting roses

The dependence of any plant on soil is obvious. Its roots are rooted in the soil and its nutrients are drawn from the soil. Therefore, soil has a comprehensive impact on plants. Many roses on the market today choose to be planted in nutrient soil, which has great advantages over planting in ordinary soil. Because the nutrient soil is properly prepared and has nutrients, soil quality and appropriate moisture suitable for rose growth, the daily planting process of roses grown in nutrient soil is relatively simple, but there are still some details that need to be paid attention to.

Remove damaged flower buds when pruning

The process of pruning is actually an artificial way to help the roses to select the survival of the fittest. During the construction process, we must remove those flower buds that are not full or even damaged from the appearance, and leave appropriate flower buds on the branches. A large number of buds does not mean more blooms. On the contrary, it may affect the number of blooms. Too many buds will dilute nutrients. Each bud cannot absorb sufficient nutrients, resulting in quality problems or even no blooming after blooming. . And too dense flower buds will also have a negative impact on the absorption of sunlight.

Try to avoid repotting

Plants are also very sensitive to changes in the external environment, and roses are more fragile, so we do not recommend immediate repotting. The roots of any plant are its lifeblood. Immediate repotting of roses will disrupt the ecological balance of the soil at their roots. Therefore, we need to repot the roses after they have bloomed at least once. At this time, the roses have grown vigorously, have strong resistance, and have adapted to the environment for a period of time. If the rose grows too fast and the flower pot can no longer meet its growth needs before it blooms, we can repot it, but during the spraying process, we must ensure that its roots are not exposed and try to keep the roots of the rose with soil. Transplant as many intact plants as possible into the new pot.

Grasp the appropriate amount of light

It is well known that plants need light, but more light is not always better. It is still necessary to grasp an appropriate scale. Most of the roses grown at home are placed on the balcony or window, which is fine in spring when the sunshine is moderate. But in summer, the direct sunlight for a day is unbearable for roses, which is also an important reason why roses wither quickly. High-intensity ultraviolet radiation will not only damage the internal system of the rose leaves, but also traumatize the roots. Therefore, we must pay attention to the time it absorbs light, especially in summer. It is recommended to do it between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m. Let the plants receive light again. Roses should be placed in a cool and ventilated place at other times, so friends who grow roses need to be careful not to place roses at windows or balconies all day long.

Properly use watering cans for watering

Water is the source of life. As this saying goes, roses cannot grow without water. Moreover, roses have greater water requirements than other flower species. But how to water roses is also particular. Different from other watering methods, the best way to water roses is to spray water through a watering can. One thing that needs special attention is that no matter when the rose is growing, you must avoid watering it directly. In the early stage, the buds will be affected by moisture and affect their flowering, and after flowering, the rose will wither quickly. At the same time, the moisture needs of the nutrient soil are taken into consideration when arranging it. It is the best time for us to spray water on it after three months, which also gives it time to fully adapt to the environment.

The amount of fertilizer should not be too much

We choose roses with nutritious soil for planting, so there is no need to rush the fertilization work. This is also the same as mentioned above to give them enough time to adapt to the environment. When we apply fertilizer, we are limited by the size of the flower pot, so the amount of fertilizer should not be too much. This will cause the over-fertilized soil to cause a phenomenon commonly known as “burning” flowers. We only need to choose an appropriate amount of phosphate fertilizer to increase the fertility of the soil.

Precautions for planting roses in clay soil

This is also a common type on the market. Although clay soil may be inferior to nutrient soil in terms of fertility, moisture, etc., it has advantages in terms of soil stickiness and suitability for planting flowers. Fertility, moisture, etc. The disadvantages can be made up for by daily management afterwards, so this also means that we will be more attentive in subsequent planting activities and take careful care of our roses.

Remove all flower buds on the branches

Different from roses grown in nutrient soil, we need to remove all the buds on the branches. This is inseparable from the next step of repotting. Because it is clay soil, it needs to be repotted directly, but the seedlings Direct repotting will cause some damage to the roots, so remove the flower buds directly. By the time the next buds grow, it means that the roots have repaired themselves through their own repair system and regained their vitality.

Directly repot the basin

We mentioned before that roses made of clay need to be repotted directly, but it is not simply transplanted to another pot. We should first place it in a ventilated place and give it about a week to adapt to the environment. During this period, we should ensure that it is watered regularly and supplied with sufficient moisture. After giving it enough time to adapt, we need to completely clean it out of the clay soil. Especially when treating its roots, we need to clean the clay soil at its roots with clean water, turn on the water to the minimum, and use hand movements It should also be done carefully and accurately to avoid damage to its roots.

Avoid bacterial infection

Because we directly exposed the roots for a long time in the previous planting preparation work, this process can easily lead to bacterial infection. At the same time, there is also the possibility of residual bacteria in the cement soil when we purchased it, so our sterilization work is not possible. The missing link. We should soak the roots of the rose in sterilizing liquid for about half an hour to ensure the sterilization of the roots, then put it into a new flower pot and cover it with loose soil. The roots should be in contact with the flower pot. There is plenty of distance at the bottom. However, it should not be buried too shallow, as this will prevent the roots from fully absorbing nutrients from the soil.

Avoid spraying the flower body

Since it is planted from cement soil into a flower pot, we must start watering the flower pot in the early stage. Although it likes a humid environment, we still need to avoid spraying the flower itself directly. Excessive water will cause abnormalities in the leaves. If this occurs, we need to appropriately reduce the frequency of watering and the amount of watering each time.

Reasons for pruning flower buds

The two kinds of roses we can buy on the market, whether they are in nutrient soil or clay soil, all need to prune their flower buds. Why do we need to prune their flower buds?
1. In the fierce market competition, in order to make their flowers have a better appearance, florists will put hormones into the flowers to induce more buds to make them look like they will have a better flowering rate. This It has even become an unspoken rule in the industry. But when we buy it home, too many flower buds without the support of hormones will cause the flower buds to fall off on a large scale, so it is very necessary for us to prune the flower buds.
2. After we buy the roses and bring them home, they not only change their environment, but also need to be repotted, which consumes a lot of their nutrients. At the same time, there will also be some damaged flower buds on the branches. Even if these flower buds are left, they will not bloom well. At the same time, too dense flower buds will block each other, which is very unfavorable for plants that need sunlight for photosynthesis.
3. Roses are a relatively delicate flower. We need to take good care of them to have more beautiful flowers. Therefore, especially in the first year of planting, we prune the flower buds to ensure that the most sufficient and high-quality nutrients are supplied to the strongest and best flower buds. Only in this way can the roses gradually bloom more flowers after adapting to the environment.
