How to cultivate mountain roses
The web introduces how to cultivate mountain roses and the planting methods and maintenance of green plants and flowers. Next, the editor will introduce.
It's time for the annual sowing season again. This season, the seeds stored by meat friends in spring or whenever are probably about to be sown!
A large part of them should be mountain roses, after all, they are so beautiful when dormant!
Confession tool!
And there are many varieties, which can fully satisfy the variety control.
For example, the Chinese representatives include large mountain, pink mountain, and jade ball, etc.
English representatives include Greenovia aizoon, Greenovia aurea, Greenovia diplocycla, Greenovia dodrentalis, etc.
If you are planting mountain roses for the first time, you must read the following paragraphs carefully.
Precautions
Season
For rose sowing, the highest germination rate is usually in early spring or autumn. The weather is cool at this time, with a certain temperature difference.
Soil mixture
The climate in the native place of mountain roses is very harsh, and the soil is also very poor.
However, the soil there at least ensures good ventilation and strong drainage. Because there, their soil is generally composed of weathered rocks and some mud.
So we have to mimic the native place.
You don't have to look for weathered rock.
Just follow the soil proportion of the native place for soil mixture!
Therefore, generally, the particle content is 40%, and the peat soil accounts for 60%, which is the most basic!
Choose particles from 1 to 3 mm.
Peat soil can be selected as grass peat, or Pinshi peat soil, and David peat soil is also good. But you must not use that black nutrient-rich soil.
To prevent bacteria from later attacking the seeds and the newly sprouted seedlings, after the soil is mixed well, you must put it in the microwave for a spin.
This is the healthiest method. Because I also said that medicine is三分 toxic and can be avoided!
Spray water on the soil first.
Then smooth the surface of the soil.
Then evenly sprinkle the seeds on the soil surface!
Cover with plastic wrap to keep moist.
Attention, the seeds must not be covered with soil!
And later, watering should not use a spray bottle!
Because this way, the soil may be splashed by water and cover the seeds.
This way, the seeds will not germinate, so you must use the immersion pot method.
After planting, you should immerse the pot once a day, preferably in the evening.
Keep the soil moist, as soon as it dries out, the delicate seeds will basically dry and die.
Rose seeds do not germinate slowly, and they can grow together in about a week, excluding a few seeds that are still dormant.
At this time, you cannot continue to keep them covered; you must uncover the plastic wrap to let them ventilate, or they may die from being too stuffy!
Seedling Maintenance
After germination, mountain roses will begin to grow rapidly!
At this time, you should slowly try to let them be exposed to the sun and not put them directly under the sun!
Let them adapt slowly, and in the end, place them next to the window to receive scattered light.
Do not keep them indoors all the time!
Otherwise, if you take them out to bask in the sun in the later stage, they can die in a day.
Although roses do not grow slowly, within three weeks after germination, they basically do not grow true leaves!
Only one or two cotyledons are growing wildly.
By the fourth week, you should be able to see the true leaves!

3. Medium Seedling Maintenance
When the young seedlings grow and shed their cotyledons, if they are too crowded, you can transplant them at this time!
You don't have to worry about the plants dying from transplanting; they should be quite strong by this time.
The soil mixture is not much different, the same as the soil mixture for sowing!
After all, in the native place, does someone go there to transplant and change the soil for them?
4. Pest Control
I don't know why, maybe because the young seedlings are too tender, they are very susceptible to snails.
And those disgusting snail-like creatures will also come.
The ones that are more difficult to deal with are the small black flies. Their adults are not harmful to succulents, but they lay eggs in the soil.
After the eggs hatch, a kind of large white worm will grow, and then it will start to eat the roots of the young seedlings. Since the roots of the young seedlings are not developed, they will basically be ruined after being eaten.
At this time, you need to use medication!
If it is discovered too late and they have already eaten everything, there is really no way to save them!
Therefore, it is necessary to observe the succulents carefully and frequently, or these pests will leave a deep impression on you!
It is recommended to use blue and white small medicine buried in the soil to prevent the larvae of small black flies!
There are special medicines for snails and snail-like creatures.
I use Shiqi's soft-body pest killer. Spraying once a week will pretty much keep the pests away.
But the dosage must also be controlled well; if the medicine is too strong, it will also cause the plants to die from toxicity.
5. Watering
Young seedlings cannot be watered in a formulaic way, saying to water them every few days.
You need to learn to tell with the naked eye whether they need water or not.
However, young seedlings do like water and should be kept slightly moist, a little damp, but they really do not like dry environments.
After all, mountain roses are not like other succulents; they are thin-leaved plants with poor water storage capacity!
With the premise of being young seedlings, their roots are not developed, and if it dries out, it's easy for them to wither!
Usually, when planting together, it's inevitable that one or two will die!
At this time, you cannot leave it there; you must pull it out and throw it outside.
Otherwise, the bacteria produced may infect other healthy plants.
About Fertilizer
Young seedlings generally do not need fertilizer, thank you!
Their roots are not developed, and the nutrition in the soil is not fully absorbed, so what fertilizer is needed?
Moreover, excessive fertilizer may cause root burn and make a big mistake. Why take that risk?
Do you give your child calcium tablets when they are five months old?
