Roses symbolize pure love and are popular among many people. Their flowers are beautiful and captivating, filled with a sweet aroma. For those who appreciate them, growing them as potted plants at home is an excellent choice, allowing for constant admiration. Below is an introduction to the planting time and methods for roses.
I. Planting Time
Besides propagating through cuttings, roses can also be propagated by sowing seeds. It is recommended to choose spring or autumn, as these periods have more suitable climates. The optimal temperature for seed germination is between 18 to 25°C. High or low temperatures can have an adverse effect on the growth of new buds.
II. Planting Methods
1. Sowing
Prepare loose and fertile soil in advance, using garden soil mixed with humus. First, soak the seeds in warm water for six hours, then choose a sunny day to plant them in a flower pot. Keep the soil moist, sprinkle a thin layer of soil on top, and place it in a place with plenty of sunlight and good ventilation.
2. Management
When the seedlings grow larger, they can be replanted. During the early stage, keep the potting soil moist, watering every two days or so. On hot days, you can also spray water mist on the leaves with a spray bottle. Note that in the later stage, do not water too much; water only when the soil is dry and make sure to water thoroughly.
For fertilizing, use a diluted organic fertilizer every two weeks, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers twice before flowering. This helps the roses grow better. Ensure the plant gets at least six hours of sunlight daily to make the flowers more beautiful. If placed in a very dark area, it may fail to bloom.
