How to cultivate Rosehips
A comprehensive analysis of how to cultivate rosehips and the planting methods of the thorny roses, hereinafter the editor introduces to the netizens.
To cultivate rosehips well, it is first necessary to understand their characteristics. Rosehips are widely distributed in the northern regions of China, and their flowering period is in the winter and spring seasons, making them relatively cold-resistant. However, rosehips enjoy sunny and warm conditions, and grow more robustly in environments with ample sunlight and higher temperatures. They are drought-resistant and do not require much water, and the soil they need should be of the type that is easy to drain. Below are specific introductions from five aspects: soil, sunlight, temperature, water, and fertilizer.
I. Soil
The soil for rosehip growth should be loose, rich in organic matter, and well-draining sandy soil. A mixture of garden soil and sand can be used to allow the soil to filter water quickly and prevent waterlogging that can cause root rot.
II. Sunlight
Rosehips enjoy sunlight, and during the flowering period, they require ample sunlight to ensure the accumulation of nutrients. Under sufficient sunlight, the quality and quantity of rosehip flowers will greatly improve.
III. Temperature
As rosehips are widely distributed in the northern regions, they have a relatively cold-resistant characteristic. A room temperature of 3℃ or above during winter can ensure safe overwintering. However, for rosehips to bloom smoothly, the temperature needs to reach 15℃ or above. If the temperature conditions are consistently met, along with ample sunlight, they will bloom continuously throughout the winter. Therefore, it is best to keep rosehips in an indoor environment with heating equipment during the winter.
IV. Water
Rosehips are averse to moisture and are drought-resistant, with no high demand for water. It is sufficient to keep the soil moist. However, it is important to note that low humidity can cause the leaves to dry and fall off, entering a dormant state, and extreme water deficiency can even lead to wilting and death.
V. Fertilizer
Rosehips are robust and do not require high amounts of fertilizer. During the winter flowering period, it is only necessary to apply top dressing once every half month. Fertilizers can be organic liquid fertilizers or compound fertilizers, with the best choice being decomposed organic fertilizers, which can make the rosehip stems thicker and promote flowering.
The above information introduces how to cultivate rosehips and the planting methods of thorny roses, for everyone to learn and understand!
