What are the treatment methods for the compacted soil in the pot of Chinese roses?
In summer, what will happen if the soil in the pot of Chinese roses becomes compacted? When planting Chinese roses, many flower friends will add some wood chips to the original soil, and do not change the pot from planting to subsequent maintenance, which can easily lead to severe compaction.
Sometimes, although we have watered the Chinese roses, their leaf buds or leaves still appear dry, leading some flower friends to think that the plant has root rot, without considering the compacted potting soil.
In fact, after the soil compacts and we water it, the water flows out completely from the sides of the flowerpot, and the amount of water used by the Chinese roses is very little. Its roots are dry for a long time, its branches naturally become dry, and the leaves will start to turn yellow in large numbers.
During this period, we need to pay attention to amending the soil for the Chinese roses. Some flower friends have very hard potting soil for their Chinese roses, so hard that it can't even be penetrated with a hammer. There are two techniques for amending the soil for Chinese roses.
The first technique is to use a small rake to loosen the potting soil. If it is not loosened when it is already hard, the potting soil will become as hard as a stone block, and its roots cannot grow well in such an environment.
Loosening the potting soil is just the first step. We also need to use the second step, which is to apply some microbial agents in the pot. The material used for amending the soil is organic matter, which can turn into humus after decomposition. The most important thing is that it also contains some beneficial microorganisms.
The activity of beneficial microorganisms can make the potting soil looser and more breathable. Just sprinkle a handful into the flowerpot, mix it well with the potting soil, let these microorganisms decompose, and remold the potting soil again to make it loose and breathable.
Therefore, when growing Chinese roses in summer, it is still necessary to observe their leaves. If there is yellowing or drying, it is important to check the soil compaction in a timely manner.
The introduction above about the treatment methods for the compacted soil in the pot of Chinese roses is hoped to bring some flower knowledge to flower enthusiasts.
