How to properly care for Chinese roses
Do you know these? Let's understand some small experiences in plant cultivation on how to properly care for Chinese roses and related maintenance issues.
Raising a Chinese rose to full bloom is not an easy task, especially in the case of potted Chinese roses, which are prone to various diseases and pests. Especially in summer, as temperatures rise, the eggs in the flower soil start to hatch slowly, leading to the appearance of aphids or other pests on the Chinese roses.
Planting Chinese roses in spring may not cause significant problems, and the plants will grow normally. However, once summer arrives, especially with outdoor care, various pests can be encountered. To avoid diseases and pests, it is necessary to spray pesticides. The name "plant in a medicine jar" comes from this, as Chinese roses require pesticide spraying almost every week during the summer.
How to properly care for Chinese roses
Due to the unique nature of Chinese roses, their leaves contain higher amounts of sap, making them more susceptible to aphids, scale insects, and in severe cases, thrips. These pests can only be controlled by spraying insecticides. Moreover, it is essential to prevent the growth of fungi and bacteria in the flower soil. To care for Chinese roses well, insecticides and fungicides must be prepared at home.
For those new to caring for Chinese roses, you need to prepare three things in spring: a spray bottle for applying pesticides, which must be high-powered and pressurized for higher efficiency, followed by carbendazim and imidacloprid, and finally, rice husk charcoal or wood ash.
With the arrival of summer, when temperatures rise to 25 degrees Celsius, dissolve the pesticides in water according to the proportions and spray every two weeks, even if there are no pests, to take preventive measures. At the same time, sprinkle rice husk charcoal on the surface of the flowerpot, as it can effectively inhibit fungal growth.
