The weather is gradually getting cooler, and Chinese roses are entering their vigorous growth period. After the hot summer, Chinese roses really need some time to adapt to the change in weather. What do we need to do during this adaptation process? First, we need to start with water control, and the specific methods have been prepared for you by the little flower expert.
There is a principle for watering Chinese roses, which may seem abstract to those who are not familiar with them. What is this principle? It is "don't water until it's dry, and water thoroughly when you do." Let's explain the meaning of this to you one by one.
First is "don't water until it's dry," which means that before the substrate dries out, Chinese roses do not need to be watered. Don't be too concerned about them and don't pour water into them at every leisure moment. Don't water when it's not necessary, but you can use a spray bottle to spray the environment, maintaining the humidity around the Chinese rose.
Next is "water thoroughly when you do," which is the degree of watering to supplement when the Chinese rose is in a state of water deficiency. Chinese roses hate it when the soil is half dry and half wet, as this has a significant impact on the growth of their roots. Therefore, when supplementing water, make sure to water thoroughly. How to determine this? If it's potted, you can tell by looking at the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot. It's right if water comes out.
What is the correct way to water Chinese roses?
For newly potted Chinese roses, the substrate is relatively dry, so the first watering may require a lot of water to completely saturate the soil. But as the Chinese rose grows, its roots continuously spread and the soil compacts, so the frequency of watering should increase and the speed should slow down, otherwise the soil will have difficulty absorbing the water completely.
What should some flower enthusiasts do if they don't have time to constantly observe the state of the Chinese rose or can't determine if it is short of water? They can use the pot immersion method, which is the simplest. Place the pot directly into a larger container, making sure not to use one with holes because this larger pot is for holding water. The water should not be too much because this is to allow the Chinese rose to slowly absorb water until the water in the pot decreases.
Watering Chinese roses should be done when the ambient temperature is relatively low, such as in the morning or evening. However, it is recommended to do it in the morning, as fertilizing in the evening is better. Watering in the evening can slow down water evaporation, and the Chinese rose will be in a high humidity state all night, which is prone to bacteria growth and may cause diseases and pests.
