Quickly distinguishing between good and bad rose seedlings
Let's talk about some small knowledge of flower cultivation for quickly distinguishing between good and bad rose seedlings, the details are as follows:
This is the 808th day of original articles every day
This article is one of the original theories
《Three-Step Rose Cultivation Method》series articles: 8th article
The previous article shared the pros and cons of starting rose seedlings in different seasons, and today let's talk about:
How to choose strong rose seedlings? Are there any standards for measurement?
In the past few days, I have been sharing my own 《Three-Step Rose Cultivation Method》series articles, and many flower friends have come to buy rose seedlings.
In this process, the following common issues have also been found:
1. Many新手 flower friends don't know how to cultivate roses at all; 2. They do not understand the growth habits of roses; 3. They think that taller seedlings are better; 4. They don't know how to choose strong rose seedlings.
It is understandable that新手 flower friends do not know the cultivation techniques of roses, and this is also one of the important reasons for persistently sharing the original 《Three-Step Rose Cultivation Method》series articles every day.
After patiently reading the 《Three-Step Rose Cultivation Method》series articles, even rose novices will definitely become rose masters!
I. Determine the type of seedlings
This has been introduced in previous articles, roses are divided into cutting seedlings and grafted seedlings, and the advantages and disadvantages of the two types of seedlings have been explained.
Everyone can choose cutting seedlings or grafted seedlings according to their needs.
II. Details to pay attention to when purchasing
If you want to choose good and healthy rose seedlings, you should first pay attention to the following 5 points:
1. Whether it comes with a pot
When buying rose seedlings, it is best to choose seedlings with the original pot and soil. Bare-root seedlings can only be purchased in early spring and winter, and新手 are not recommended to buy bare-root seedlings, as the cultivation difficulty is relatively higher.
2. Nutrient pot seedlings or controlled-root pot seedlings
Currently, the market (C-S) has more rose seedlings, which can be roughly divided into the following three types:
a. Nutrient pot seedlings b. V9 pot seedlings c. Gallon pot seedlings
What are nutrient pot seedlings?
Nutrient pot seedlings are cultivated in nutrient pots, usually with a short growth time of only a few months.
Characteristics of nutrient pot seedlings:
Quickly distinguishing between good and bad rose seedlings
Nutrient pot rose seedlings usually have underdeveloped roots, or they may grow entangled at the bottom, which is not conducive to root growth after transplantation.
Due to the short growth time, the seedlings will be relatively weak, and if not properly cared for, they may grow slowly or become僵 seedlings, and in severe cases, may die.
What are V9 pot seedlings?
V9 pot seedlings refer to rose seedlings cultivated in V9 pots.
V9 pots are square pots with a diameter of 9*9, and their bottom has a root control design to prevent root entanglement.
Characteristics of V9 pot seedlings:
V9 pot rose seedlings generally have a growth time of more than one year, and their root systems grow in a scattered manner similar to ground planting, which can quickly grow roots after transplantation.
What are gallon pot seedlings?
Gallon pot seedlings are rose seedlings that have been transplanted and established in gallon pots, with a long growth time and a much larger whole plant form than V9 pot seedlings, belonging to finished pot plants.
Characteristics of gallon pot seedlings:
Gallon pot seedlings are finished pot plants that can be directly observed for flowering after receiving them, skipping the cultivation process of young seedlings, but the price is higher.
3. Whether the root system is developed
The state of the roots determines the survival rate and growth state of the seedlings.
The root system is the root part that absorbs (S-Y) from the soil to ensure the life activities of the plant, so when choosing seedlings, be sure to choose seedlings with a developed root system, which is the foundation for survival and healthy growth.
