This article will provide you with a detailed introduction to how to water potted roses in winter and help you easily maintain your beloved roses. Understand the habits of roses. Rose is a light-loving and cold-resistant plant, but in winter, its growth rate will slow down significantly. Understanding the habits of roses is a prerequisite for correct watering. According to relevant industry reports, the suitable temperature for rose growth in winter is 5℃ to 15℃. Winter watering principles 1. Moderate watering: Winter temperatures are low and soil evaporation is small, so watering should not be too much. Just keep the soil slightly moist. Too much watering will cause root rot and affect the growth of roses.
2. Appropriate water temperature: The temperature is low in winter, and the water temperature should be close to room temperature when watering to avoid damage to roses caused by too low water temperature.
3. Watering time: In winter, watering should be carried out in the morning. At this time, there is sufficient sunshine, which is conducive to water evaporation and reduces soil moisture. Specific watering methods 1. Observe the soil moisture: Before watering, observe the soil moisture first. If the soil surface is dry, you can water the right amount. If the soil is too moist, wait for a while before watering.
2. Watering method: When watering, slowly pour along the edge of the flower pot to avoid directly pouring on the leaves. After watering, clean up the accumulated water in the flower pot in time to keep the soil breathable.
3. Fertilization: Roses grow slowly in winter, so fertilization should not be excessive. You can choose compound fertilizers with low nitrogen, high phosphorus and potassium, and apply them once a month. Precautions 1. Avoid frostbite: When watering in winter, pay attention to avoid splashing water droplets on the leaves to avoid causing frostbite.
2. Prevention of pests and diseases: Winter is a period of high incidence of pests and diseases. Pay attention to the growth status of roses and prevent pests and diseases in a timely manner.
Through the above introduction, I believe you have already understood how to water potted roses in winter. During the maintenance process, reasonable watering must be carried out according to the growth habits and seasonal characteristics of the roses, so that the roses can thrive.
