What to do when the leaves of potted July roses fall off due to the hot weather
Tips to prevent the leaves of roses from falling off
It's summer again, and I've noticed that the lower part of my potted roses (location tag: Chongqing) has started to shed leaves.
Wow, the sun is shining brightly, and the flowers are so hot they want to shed their leaves... Hey, I'm kidding. This is because the weather is too sunny, causing excessive water loss, and roses may shed leaves. However, it's best to avoid the vicious cycle of complete leaf loss.
Therefore, it's important to "train the seedlings" before the hot summer arrives, making the roses strong enough to withstand high temperatures and dryness.
TIP 1: Watering
Sometimes the simplest principles depend on how you interpret and apply them. For instance: If your roses die in the summer, you might blame the strong sun, or you could blame yourself for not watering enough...
So, the first key to preventing leaf shedding in the summer is: watering.
TIP 1. Water only when the soil is dry and water thoroughly, it's better to be slightly dry than too moist.
2. By the end of the plum rain season in July, you can "train" leaves that won't easily fall off in the peak summer.
TIP 2: Applying liquid fertilizer
The second key to preventing leaf shedding in the summer is: fertilizing.
Fertilizer can help roses grow lush and strong during their development, making them resilient against intense sunlight. Use a high-potash liquid fertilizer (N-P-K=6.5-6-19, etc.) from August to September, once every 1-2 weeks, diluted as instructed.
Regularly applying high-potash liquid fertilizer can improve the plant's condition.
Yes, we have two keys: watering and applying liquid fertilizer, to cultivate healthy leaves that can withstand the intense summer.
At this point, please don't mock the editor for only mentioning "watering and fertilizing."
Often, we simply know the "ultimate conclusion," but we always make mistakes in the process of applying it.
For example, you know the secret to losing weight is to eat less and exercise more, but how many people actually succeed in losing weight?
Another example, you know that "1 + 1 = 2," but how many people can truly explain and demonstrate why 1 + 1 equals 2?
The reason is that you don't want to pay attention to the "principles" hidden in the "ultimate conclusion."
So, the simpler things often slip by you...
Key point: The key to practicing martial arts is "opening the Ren and Du meridians," and the Ren and Du meridians for training roses in the summer are "watering and fertilizing."
What to do when the wind is too strong on high-rise balconies for potted roses?
When roses are planted on high-rise balconies, it feels like they are being blown by the strong wind, causing poor growth. What are some good countermeasures?
Simple, place the flowerpots one after another on the balcony to stabilize the plants.
Pay attention to three points:
1. Avoid placing near the railing or air conditioner outdoor units.
Roses like gentle breezes but not strong winds that can shake their branches. Especially on high-rise balconies, if roses are placed near the railing or air conditioner outdoor units, they will be directly hit by the dry strong wind, which are the positions to avoid.
2. Also, if potted roses are placed separately or there is too much space between the pots, it is also unfavorable for their growth.
It's best to place the pots together, like planting a "windbreak forest."
3. Try to keep the top height of the plants uniform to prevent them from being shaken by the wind and to evenly receive sunlight.
