How to use water to grow roses
As an emerging way of viewing, water-raised roses can not only show the elegant posture of flowers, but also observe the growth process of roots. They are deeply loved by modern families. Compared with traditional soil culture, hydroponics roses require higher maintenance techniques, and only by mastering scientific methods can delicate roses bloom for a long time. This article will systematically analyze the complete process and advanced skills of hydroponics roses. The basic operation of water-raised roses is scientifically pruned and processed using professional flower scissors to obliquely cut the bottom of the stems 45°, and the incision area increases the water absorption rate by 30%. Remove all leaves from the underwater part and keep the top 3-4 healthy green leaves. Focus on treating lignified stems, and use a blade to cut the skin by 2 cm longitudinally to effectively improve water absorption efficiency. Smart container selection recommends the use of transparent glass containers to facilitate observation of changes in water quality. The diameter of the container should maintain a 1:2 ratio to the volume of the bouquet to ensure air circulation. Experiments have proved that conical bottles are more conducive to maintaining a constant water temperature than straight containers. Before use, it should be soaked and disinfected in edible alkali for 30 minutes. Precise water level control injects mineral water into 1/3 of the container to ensure that the incision is completely submerged. When adding special hydroponic nutrient solution, it needs to be diluted at a ratio of 1:200. It is recommended to add activated carbon particles in summer, which can effectively inhibit bacterial reproduction and extend the water quality preservation period to 5-7 days. Advanced Skills for Water Raising Roses Dynamic Water Change Strategy Implement high-frequency water changes in the early stage of rooting (1-15 days), and update the water body every 48 hours. After the new air roots grow to 3 cm, they will be maintained during a stable period, and water will be changed every 10-15 days. In winter,"semi-water exchange method" is used to retain 1/3 of the original solution to maintain microbial balance. Intelligent environmental control maintains a constant temperature environment of 18-25℃, and the humidity is controlled at 60-70%. When using LED plant lights to fill light, the daily light duration should not exceed 14 hours. Important note: The temperature difference between changing water needs to be controlled within ±2℃. The sudden change in temperature will cause "air embolism" to block the catheter.
Through scientific and systematic maintenance and management, the viewing period of hydroponics roses can be extended to 25-35 days. Regularly check the root status, prune browned roots in time, and use it with special nutrients to achieve secondary flowering. Master these core skills and make your rose hydroponics journey twice the result with half the effort.
