Rose is one of the most beautiful flowers in the world, but if you want it to grow strong and bloom, you must master the right watering method. Especially in summer, we must not only pay attention to proper watering, but also pay attention to avoid problems such as soaking roots and scalding leaves with water stains. Here are some tips and precautions for watering roses in summer.
1. Water in the morning and evening, staggered the high temperature periods. During the high temperature period in summer, we should not water the roses at noon or in the afternoon when the sun is in the sun. This will easily allow the water to evaporate too quickly and is not conducive to keeping the soil moist. Instead, we can choose to water in the morning or evening, when the sun is not strong and the temperature is low.
2. While watering, spray water on the leaves of the roses. During the process of watering the roses, you may wish to spray water on the leaves with a spray can, which can cool down, moisturize, and purify the leaves. However, it should be noted that the time for spraying water on the leaves should be selected in the evening or at night to avoid damage to the leaves after sun exposure.
3. Keep the soil moist, but don't over-water it. Summer is the peak season for rose growth and requires a lot of water to support their growth, development and flowering. However, excessive watering can also cause problems such as hypoxia and root rot in rose roots. We should reasonably control the frequency and amount of watering according to the environment and soil conditions in which the roses are located, and keep the soil moist and breathable.
4. Choose the right watering method The root system of roses goes deep into the soil, so it is difficult to meet their needs simply by watering. It is recommended to loosen the soil before watering, and then use sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation or micro-spraying to water the roses, so that the water can better penetrate deep into the roots.
5. Don't use cold water or sewage. In summer, we often use cold water to water roses, thinking that this can cool down. But in fact, cold water can affect the growth and development of roses, and can even cause burns on rose leaves and flowers. Sewage is also not suitable for watering flowers, because it contains a lot of harmful substances, which will also have adverse effects on the healthy growth of roses.
6. Avoid long-term accumulation of water In summer, there is a lot of rainfall. If the soil where the roses are located is prone to accumulation of water, it will affect the breathing and drainage of the roots, resulting in root rot. Clean up the stagnant water in time after rain to ensure that the roses can breathe normally.
7. Control indoor environmental temperature and humidity. Summer temperatures and humidity are high, which have an important impact on the growth, development and flowering of roses. If we place roses indoors, we need to pay attention to the temperature and humidity of the indoor environment. Appropriate environmental temperature and humidity can be maintained by opening windows for ventilation, humidifiers, etc., so that roses can grow better.
8. Choose the right pot soil and fertilizer. Roses grow vigorously in summer and require sufficient nutrients to support their growth, development and flowering. We can choose pot soil with lighter texture and good drainage, and apply organic fertilizers or compound fertilizers at appropriate times to provide sufficient nutrition for roses.
9. Trim off withered branches and flowers in time. In summer, roses grow rapidly, and branches and flowers easily wither, which will affect the beauty and growth speed of roses. We need to prune withered branches and flowers in time to keep roses healthy.
10. The plant density should not be too high in summer, high temperatures and humidity. If the plant density is too high, it may easily lead to diseases. When planting roses, pay attention to controlling the plant density and appropriately thinning the plants so that the roses can have sufficient air circulation and light.
11. Don't place water bottles directly in the sun. During the high summer temperatures, we often use water bottles to provide moisture to roses. However, it should be noted that the water bottle should not be placed directly in the sun, which may easily increase the water temperature and even burn the roots of the roses. You can place the water bottle in a shaded area or adjust the water temperature to a temperature close to room temperature.
12. Use more neutral cleaners to clean the leaves. Summer rose leaves are easily contaminated by dust and bacteria. We can clean the leaves with a neutral cleaner in the evening or at night, which can remove dirt, kill bacteria, and keep roses healthy.
13. Regularly fertilize to avoid over-fertilization Summer roses require a lot of nutrients to support their growth and development, so we need to fertilize regularly. However, it should be noted that excessive fertilization can lead to problems such as soil acidification and salinization, affecting the growth and health of roses. When fertilizing, attention should be paid to the control of fertilizer amount and the choice of fertilizer types.
14. Reasonable control of irrigation water quality Irrigation water quality has a great impact on the growth of roses. If the irrigation water contains too much salt, impurities, harmful substances, etc., it will have an adverse impact on the growth and health of roses. We need to select the right irrigation water source and improve irrigation water quality through appropriate treatment.
15. Summer is an important period for rose growth, but it is also a period where problems are prone to arise in its growth, development and flowering. By mastering the right watering methods, we can make roses thrive and bloom beautiful flowers in the summer. The key is to pay attention to timing and skills, reasonably control the frequency and amount of watering, keep the soil moist and breathable, and provide sufficient nutrients and environmental conditions for roses.
