Autumn and winter are a good time to plant in rose, but many novice flower lovers always say, "the seedlings you buy will not survive for a month." What is the reason? What should I do to keep rose seedlings well?
How do newbies raise rose seedlings well?
Among the many flower varieties, rose is a variety that is easy to feed but difficult to raise. The reason why many of our flower lovers cannot raise roses is mainly because of the following 4 points. Doing any mistakes in any of the roses may cause the rose to wither.
1. Overwatering
Many flower lovers water the potted plants based on their feelings. When they feel that the rose potted plants should be watered, they do not consider the actual dry and wet conditions of the potting soil. When the soil is very wet, they will still water it. This will cause water accumulation in the potting soil, which will directly affect the rose root rot, which is reflected in the leaves that the new leaves turn yellow, or the leaves fall off as soon as they touch, and eventually wither completely.
So the first step to feed rose potted plants is to learn to water. As the saying goes, "Watering for ten years" shows how difficult it is to water flowers, but no matter how difficult things are, they are optional and have techniques to choose from.
Blue Demon share your easiest way to judge the timing of watering a pot. Before each time you want to water it, lift the pot and feel the weight. If it feels light and fluttering, you can water it. If it is still heavy, it means that the pot soil is not dry and there is no need to water it. However, using this method requires that the basin you use is a relatively lightweight material, and the soil in the basin cannot be sticky, otherwise it will affect the judgment.
Before you master enough flower cultivation techniques, Lan Yao personally recommends that you use plastic flower pot with more drainage holes, such as a gallon pot or root control pot, avoid using ceramic pots, and try to use nutrient soil as much as possible, as this will greatly reduce the difficulty of maintenance.
2. Urgently top dressing
Many flower lovers think of changing pots and top dressing when they remove the seedlings. In fact, this idea is not very good. If the seedlings purchased are soil clumps or bare roots, they should be planted as soon as possible after receiving them. However, if they are seedlings with pots, even if the pot is just a nutritional bowl, it is best to place the original pot in the bright astigmatism to slow the seedlings. This treatment method is the most regular and will never be wrong.
Of course, after having certain maintenance experience, we can deal with it according to the seedling conditions, but whether it is changing the pot or not changing the pot, it is a delayed seedling period within one week of receiving the seedlings. It is strictly forbidden to apply water-soluble fertilizer , because the root damage has not yet recovered at this time, and top dressing can easily cause fertilizer damage.
Prepare the seedlings that were originally maintained. You can apply thin fertilizer and water after 5 days of slowing down the seedlings. If it is repotted, start from repotting, and apply water-soluble fertilizer after one week. When repotting, you can only use fermented organic fertilizer and slow-release fertilizer as base fertilizer, and you cannot directly contact the root system. Note that compound fertilizer cannot be used as base fertilizer, and it is easy to cause fertilizer damage. Regarding the usage of various fertilizers, Lan Yao has a detailed introduction in the book "How to Raise Rose", you can refer to it.
3. Over-trimming
Many flower lovers heard that roses should be pruned frequently, so when they received the seedlings, they directly cut them into a bare pole with scissors. Although the roses may not wither after being cut into bare poles, it greatly increases the possibility of withering.
In spring, summer and autumn, roses are in the growth stage. At this time, it is best to have a large number of leaves photosynthesis . If the leaves are gone, the photosynthesis rate of roses will decrease, and there will be less nutrients. transpiration is small. The soil in the pot is dry slowly. If watering is not careful, it will cause root rot. In addition, improper fertilization may cause black poles.
Therefore, except in winter, do not easily cut the rose. During the growth period, you can only cut it lightly. Plants with more leaves generally pruning the pruning range will not exceed 1/2. Rose plants with few leaves generally only cut the remaining flowers and buds, and try to retain the leaves as much as possible. Once the rose has no leaves, watering needs to be strictly controlled and wait for new sprouts to emerge.
4. I hope to grow up and feel eagerly
Many friends who are just starting to grow flowers are often anxious and hope that the seedlings will grow and bloom. Especially when there are problems with seedling growth, we always try our best to spray medicine, fertilize, water rooting powder , etc. In fact, when the seedlings are weak, it is a wise choice to keep changing and respond to changes.
For example, we fertilize the rose and cause fertilizer damage, and a large number of leaves turn yellow. At this time, we just need to pour a lot of water into the roots first, then avoid exposure to the sun, avoid water accumulation in the pot, and let it slowly slow down by itself. Don’t think about changing the soil, which will only cause secondary damage. When the rose seedlings grow significantly, they will gradually resume normal management. If you want to raise roses and don’t take detours, you can
