Important Points to Note When Repotting Chinese Rose
Many people, when searching for flower care tutorials online, often hear many florists recommend cutting off most of the root system when repotting a Chinese rose plant. They are puzzled as to why this should be done.
Most flower enthusiasts, when repotting a Chinese rose plant, directly pot it after taking it out of the original pot. However, it is difficult for the plant to recover and grow after potting, and it is prone to root rot and its growth becomes increasingly poor. When the roots are inspected, some of them are found to be suffocated and rotting, which is what we call root rot. After the Chinese rose develops root rot, it is difficult to restore its vigor, and in severe cases, it will remain dormant and not grow.
If fine and tightly entwined tender roots are found at the bottom when repotting, and such a Chinese rose plant is directly potted and then filled with soil and watered thoroughly, the poor drainage and low root vitality may cause root rot in the entwined roots.
The main reason for the dormant growth of Chinese roses after repotting is severe root entanglement and too many old roots filling the pot. After repotting and refilling the pot with soil, root rot may occur after watering. When root rot occurs, the basal roots should be cut off, about half of them, leaving mostly white and tender roots, and then the plant can be directly potted for care. This way, the Chinese rose adapts quickly to the new pot, and the new roots grow fast, thus not affecting the growth status of the plant.
