What are the cultivation methods and precautions for Oumei roses?
This article introduces the cultivation methods and precautions of Oumei roses, as well as related topics about the maintenance skills of Oumei roses. Let's take a look together.
Oumei roses generally refer to the new varieties of roses introduced from European and American countries such as the UK, France, Germany, the US, and Japan, as well as Japan after 2000. It is not difficult to cultivate Oumei roses. The soil can be mixed with decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, river sand, and a small amount of basic fertilizer to make a culture soil. During the growing season, maintain a lighting time of over 8 hours, water according to the principle of "watering when dry and stopping when wet", and often ventilate in environments with high humidity to keep the environment dry and cool.
I. Cultivation Methods
1. Soil
Oumei roses grow best in fertile loamy or light loamy soil that is well-drained, loose, and rich in humus. They are hindered in clayey soil and produce poor-quality flowers. You can mix decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, river sand, and a small amount of basic fertilizer to make culture soil. Before filling the pot with soil, cover the bottom with a layer of broken tiles or bricks to aid drainage.
2. Light
Most Oumei roses are positive plants, loving light and requiring a lot of it. Flowers will be more colorful and the fragrance stronger under sufficient light. During the growing season, maintain a lighting time of over 8 hours to prevent the plants from becoming elongated and not flowering. In the strong midday sun during summer, move them indoors to shade to prevent strong light from burning the plants, causing yellowing leaves, and withered flower buds.
3. Temperature
Oumei roses generally prefer warm environments and grow best at 18-28°C. They are intolerant of high temperatures but can endure cold. In summer, when temperatures are generally high, you can spray water on the plants and the ground to cool them down. Although Oumei roses can endure cold, a warm environment is more suitable for plant growth. It is recommended to move them to a warm room in winter when temperatures are low.
4. Watering
Watering Oumei roses should follow the principle of "watering when dry and stopping when wet." Water when the top layer of soil is slightly dry, stopping when water flows out from the bottom of the pot. Keep the soil moist but do not overwater to avoid积水 in the pot, which could cause the roots to rot from being soaked in standing water. If you accidentally overwater, pour out the excess water from the pot.
II. Precautions
In environments with low temperature and high humidity, Oumei roses are prone to rust and powdery mildew. It is necessary to ventilate often and keep the environment dry and cool when humidity is high. Once a disease occurs, promptly cut off the diseased branches and leaves and burn them, then spray with a specific medicine for treatment.
The above sharing of the cultivation methods and precautions of Oumei roses, as well as the introduction of maintenance skills, is provided as a reference for everyone.
