How should I care for the roses I just bought?
Do you know these? Information about caring for newly bought roses and the methods and precautions for growing mini roses in a home pet care context are introduced in detail below.
Why do the leaves of the mini roses wilt and curl after repotting, and some leaves fall off? New roses may wilt after repotting, and the old leaves turn yellow and fall off. This is a clear sign of plant acclimatization. Also, consider whether a large amount of fertilizer was used during repotting.
Under normal circumstances, there are usually several reasons for such conditions in newly bought rose seedlings after planting.
One, excessive watering and fertilizing.
Since the plant is small and its roots are relatively weak, whether in a pot or in the ground, the plant should not be watered or fertilized excessively. Frequent watering and fertilizing can cause the tender roots to rot. The watering frequency should be based on the drying of the surface soil, and watering should be done only when the soil is dry. Fertilizing should start when the young plant begins to grow, and gradually apply some light fertilizers such as fermented rice washing water or diluted very light nutrient solutions. Avoid using concentrated fertilizers all at once. When watering and fertilizing are excessive, the young plant's roots will be severely harmed, and the leaves will show symptoms of wilting, curling, and browning.
Two, planting methods.
The mini rose seedlings we buy usually come in two forms: bare-root seedlings and pot-grown seedlings. It is normal for such conditions to occur after planting bare-root seedlings. After a thorough watering, as long as you don't water randomly, the young plant will quickly grow vigorously. If it is a pot-grown seedling, do not break the soil clump when planting. Simply remove the soil clump from the pot and plant it directly in the flower pot or ground hole. Be careful not to press the soil hard. The plant's roots will not be injured, and the young plant will not show signs of acclimatization.
Three, potting and fertilizing.
Many gardening enthusiasts like to add some fertilizer to the nutrient soil when potting or repotting plants. This practice is incorrect. Because newly potted or repotted plants have not yet adapted to the new soil environment, and some plants have very small and tender roots. The new nutrient soil already has some nutrients, and if additional fertilizer is added, it is clearly an excess of fertilizer. Young, weak roots cannot tolerate this. Therefore, when changing soil or pots, use a base fertilizer, usually for plants with larger roots, and organic fertilizers must be composted. The use of fertilizers should not exceed the recommended amount, and there should be a layer of soil separating the fertilizer from the roots to prevent root damage.
The above is a comprehensive explanation of how to care for newly bought roses and the methods and precautions for growing mini roses, hoping it can help you.
