Why do mini roses bloom so vigorously but turn yellow and die within two days of buying them?
A brief knowledge sharing, introducing the experience related to why mini roses that bloom so vigorously turn yellow and die after being bought for only two days. Let's learn about it together.
There are many beautiful mini roses in the flower market, with uniform blooming, looking very pretty. Many flower enthusiasts can't help but buy a pot to enjoy at home, but after buying them, you may find that the results are often frustrating.
Attentive flower enthusiasts visiting the wholesale flower market may notice that there is often a large number of mini roses discarded in the corner. Why? Because they can't be kept alive.
Last year, a flower shop owner shared with me that she wondered why mini roses are so difficult to cultivate. They look good when they arrive, but after a few days without selling, they start to turn yellow and lose leaves, eventually becoming bare and having to be thrown away, causing significant losses.
Why are these mini roses so difficult to cultivate?
Actually, it's not that mini roses are difficult to cultivate in themselves, but that we don't treat them correctly after buying them from the flower market, which quickly leads to yellowing and leaf dropping.
Cultivation Method of Mini Roses: The cultivation method of mini roses is actually the same as that of roses. We can refer to the cultivation method of roses, maintaining sufficient sunlight and watering thoroughly. However, many mini roses bought from the flower market often die without giving us a chance to take good care of them, and the problem is not with us, but with the roses themselves.

Why do mini roses that bloom so vigorously turn yellow and die within two days of buying them?
Let's analyze the causes of death in mini roses bought from the flower market.
What is the condition of mini roses in the flower market? A small pot with uniform blooming and covered with a plastic bag, is that what it looks like?
When flower enthusiasts buy them, they often pay no attention to anything else but whether the roses bloom uniformly and look beautiful. However, many times we only see the surface, being deceived by the apparent lushness, and they die shortly after buying them.
Why do we use a plastic bag to cover them?
The plastic bag is used to protect the potted plants from being easily broken during transportation, and since the plants are more compact, they look better and take up less space. This is most evident in some grass species, such as melon leaves, ranunculus, and daisies. When covered with a bag, the plants are full and upright, but after taking off the bag at home, they flatten within two days.
However, for mini roses, using a plastic bag has a significant problem: it can cause poor ventilation.
What does a rose fear the most?
Roses fear poor ventilation the most, and mini roses are the same as roses. Mini roses are actually a type of rose, so covering them with a plastic bag will definitely affect the ventilation of the plant. And we don't know how long this bagging condition has been going on.
Let's also look at the soil used for cultivating these mini roses. Is it coconut brick soil? Coconut brick soil retains moisture very well. Think about the mini roses you bought; isn't the potting soil very moist?
