What should be paid attention to when planting Chinese roses in pots
The editor will answer the small experience of green plant maintenance on what should be paid attention to when planting Chinese roses in pots. Let's follow the editor to see it!
It is now September, and the weather in autumn is gradually getting cool, which is a good time for us to buy Chinese rose seedlings. Autumn is a very suitable season for the growth of Chinese roses, and the temperature is gradually decreasing. After the Chinese roses bloom in autumn, they will enter a dormant period in winter, which is very beneficial for the recovery of the plant and the growth in spring.
So, what should we do after getting the Chinese rose seedlings? Many flower friends dare not move after buying the seedlings because they will definitely die after transplanting. In fact, this is because the method of transplanting into pots is incorrect. Today, I will introduce to you the correct method of planting Chinese roses.
The process of planting Chinese roses in pots, details determine life and death
When planting newly bought Chinese rose seedlings, there are three most important things: the potting soil, the planting method, and the management during the seedling establishment period. Let's introduce them one by one.
1. Potting Soil Configuration
Many新手 flower friends think that planting Chinese roses is just to buy a seedling and water it, and then the flowers will bloom full pot. In fact, when I first started growing flowers many years ago, I also thought so. Every time I went to the flower shop to buy a lot of potted plants and then dug some clay from my mother-in-law's vegetable garden, planted them randomly, watered them, and thought that the flowers could grow well. As a result, each time, the flowers could not survive more than two months and had to be recycled.
What should be paid attention to when planting Chinese roses in pots
Because of this, at that time, every time I bought flowers back from the Green Plant Enthusiast website, I would be mercilessly teased by my family, which I believe is a process that many新手 flower friends are experiencing. Now, the Green Plant Enthusiast website will tell you how to overcome this barrier of buying and dying, buying and dying. The first step is to pay attention to the potting soil.
No matter what kind of potted plant, even just a seedling, when planting, the Green Plant Enthusiast website recommends that you should not use the soil from the ground (garden soil) directly. It doesn't work for tree seedlings, let alone Chinese rose seedlings. Please don't argue with the Green Plant Enthusiast website. Some people may say they use garden soil and the flowers bloom well, but you never know what others have experienced!
If you just want to plant casually, the Green Plant Enthusiast website recommends that you can use the most economical and practical potted plant formula soil: mix the cheap universal nutrient soil and garden soil in a 1:1 ratio. But if you truly love Chinese roses, the Green Plant Enthusiast website suggests that you use the following formula for potting soil.
Decomposed pine bark: peat soil: decayed leaf soil: compost (decomposed organic fertilizer) mixed evenly in a volume ratio of 2:2:2:1.
This formula of potting soil is suitable for both indoor and outdoor planting. It has good water permeability and aeration, does not easily accumulate water, and the soil is fertile enough. Of course, if you are planting a small number of Chinese roses, you can also buy ready-made Chinese rose formula soil, but it is recommended to buy the one with pine bark formula. The soil with coconut shell formula is relatively better at water retention, which may not be very friendly for新手 flower growers.
