How to get rid of bugs on roses
The beauty of roses is different from the loose petals of peonies and peonies. It is a delicate beauty, with a rich fragrance and a solemn and rich purple-red color, which makes people love it.
But roses are always a kind of plant. Not only do people like it, but many insects and fungi also rely on roses for survival.
For rose potted plants, away from the natural growth environment, people’s maintenance levels are uneven, which leads to many diseases and pests in rose potted plants.
People who care about potted plants have fewer diseases in roses; while people who are lazy and have poor maintenance measures have more diseases and pests in rose potted plants.
Rose seedlings are often attacked by pests such as aphids, red spiders, and whiteflies. These pests will have an adverse effect on the growth and flowering of roses, such as yellowing of leaves, wilting, and reduced flowering.
Methods to solve pests include:
Physical methods:
Manual capture: Check rose plants regularly, and capture and remove pests by hand or tools.
Cut off the affected parts: Cut off the leaves, flowers and stems that are severely infested to prevent the pests from spreading further.
Biological methods:
Introducing natural enemies: Introducing natural enemies that prey on pests, such as ladybugs, centipedes, etc., can effectively control the number of pests.
Using insect spray: Use organic or chemical insect sprays and spray them on rose plants to kill pests. Be careful to use them according to the instructions and avoid harming beneficial insects such as bees.
Chemical methods:
Using pesticides: If the pest is serious, you can consider using pesticides for prevention and control. Choose organic pesticides or chemical pesticides that are harmless to beneficial insects such as bees, and use them according to the instructions. Be careful to avoid excessive use and long-term continuous use to avoid negative impacts on the environment and plants.
Preventive measures include:
Keep the garden tidy: Regularly clean up weeds, fallen leaves and dead branches in the garden to reduce the habitat and breeding sites of pests.
Proper fertilization: Avoid overfertilization to avoid excessive soil moisture and increase the chance of pest breeding.
Check the plants regularly: Check the rose plants regularly and take timely measures to prevent and control the signs of pests.
Avoid overcrowding: Adjust the spacing between plants appropriately to avoid overcrowding and reduce the chances of pests spreading and invading.
Pay attention to irrigation methods: Avoid stagnant water to avoid providing an environment for pests to reproduce.
Choose insect-resistant varieties: Choose rose varieties with strong insect resistance for planting to reduce the occurrence of pests.
By comprehensively using physical, biological and chemical methods, combined with preventive measures, the problem of pests on rose seedlings can be effectively controlled.
I have seen a lot of rose bouquets, but potted plants seem to be relatively rare. In fact, planting is not difficult, and many propagation methods are applicable. Today, Xiaohua will introduce the rose division method to you, which has a very high survival rate.
Spring is its flowering period, and winter is the best season for its division. Its branches have a very strong ability to grow new buds, which is also the reason for the high survival rate. The selection of seedlings is also very important. Not every branch can be used, and it needs to be planned. Its goal is to grow a strong mother plant, which can ensure that the branches and new buds grow faster.
It is best for the seedlings to have rhizomes. They can be planted in pots or in the ground. As long as the substrate is fertile, some leaves can be trimmed after covering the soil to avoid nutrient consumption. New leaves can be seen growing at the cut petioles. This is a sign that the seedlings have survived. It takes two to three years for the surviving seedlings to bloom. You should be more patient.
After the seedlings survive, the maintenance of the environment must be well controlled. Whether it is the growth period or the flowering period, the management of water and fertilizer is very important. If there are signs of wilting and yellowing, it is very likely that it is the influence of water and fertilizer. It may be lack of water, water accumulation, too much fertilizer, or lack of fertilizer.
Water and fertilizer should be adjusted according to the season. In spring and summer, more water may be given. Try not to let the seedlings show signs of lack of water. While keeping the pot soil moist, the leaves should not be dehydrated, so they should be done together, usually three times a week. In autumn and winter, you can reduce it appropriately. The air in autumn is relatively dry. Generally, it is just to increase the humidity of the environment. Try not to let there be excess water in the pot.
One month after potting, you can start fertilizing, mainly nitrogen, and decomposed organic fertilizer is the first choice; at the same time, you can also add a small amount of compound fertilizer, which can promote the growth of the root system with greater intensity. This is for plants with relatively good growth. If the growth state is general, Xiaohua is not recommended to fertilize, which can easily cause the plant to wither.
The incidence of bacterial diseases such as powdery mildew and leaf spot is very high. Once the flower buds wilt and the leaves are spotted frequently, this is the manifestation of the disease. Spray the medicine in time and cut off the diseased branches and leaves. These branches and leaves cannot be used and must be burned. High temperature can eliminate bacteria.
Insect pests are still a big problem for the growth of seedlings, but insect pests are not as difficult to deal with as diseases, and the impact on plants is relatively small, but in order to preserve the appearance of roses, preventive work must be done. Do you like roses?
