The Cultivation Method of Pingyin Rose
As a representative variety of traditional Chinese roses, Pingyin Rose is highly favored for its unique fragrance and medicinal value. To cultivate high-quality plants with large and colorful flowers, it is necessary to master key technical points such as soil control and water and fertilizer management. This article systematically sorts out the four core elements of care based on practical planting experience.
Basic Care Elements of Pingyin Rose
Soil Selection Criteria
Pingyin Rose has a strong adaptability to soil, but a slightly alkaline matrix with a pH value of 7.2-7.8 is best. It is recommended to use a mixture of garden soil, decomposed leaf mold, and coarse sand in a ratio of 5:3:2, with the addition of 200g of bone meal per cubic meter to enhance calcium content. Poor soil needs to be improved by adding decomposed sheep manure to ensure the development environment of the root system.
Water Control Strategy
During the growing period, maintain soil moisture between 60%-70%, and water thoroughly every 3-5 days in spring and autumn. During the bud formation stage, control water to a soil moisture content of 40% to effectively improve the quality of flowering. In the summer high temperatures, combine with foliar spraying, spraying once in the morning and evening each day to maintain air humidity.
Advanced Care Techniques for Pingyin Rose
Light Intensity Management
Ensure 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, extending to 8 hours during the flower bud differentiation stage. From 11:00 to 15:00 in the summer, use a shading net to protect against sunburn of the petals. In winter, full sun care can be provided, with pot rotation to ensure even light exposure.
Nutrient Supply Plan
In March, during the germination stage, apply high-nitrogen fertilizer (N-P-K=20-10-10) at 50g per plant. 30 days before flowering, switch to diammonium phosphate (diluted 1000 times), and spray twice at 10-day intervals. Before overwintering, apply decomposed rapeseed cake fertilizer at 2kg per square meter to enhance cold resistance.
Through systematic management of scientific soil mixing, precise water control, reasonable light exposure, and segmented fertilization, Pingyin Rose can bloom 3-4 times a year, with a yield increase of over 40% per plant. It is recommended to create a care calendar based on the phenological period, regularly test the soil EC value, and create a suitable microenvironment for rose growth.
