It's so sad that every time I buy a Chinese rose, it turns out to be a small white flower.
The editor will share with everyone some small experiences in plant cultivation about the sad situation of buying Chinese roses that always turn out to be small white flowers. Next, the editor will provide you with detailed answers.
In spring, I once shared 100 articles on the cultivation of Chinese roses, which also made many flower enthusiasts interested in Chinese roses. At the same time, many flower enthusiasts have said that every time they buy a Chinese rose, it ends up being a small white flower, which is very sad. They even dare not buy Chinese rose seedlings anymore.
Today, I will teach you some small methods to buy Chinese roses to avoid buying fake seedlings.
1. Look at the price
As the saying goes, "a penny, a penny's worth." Talking about quality without considering the price is cheating. It takes at least 7-8 months to cultivate Chinese roses from cutting to seedling. Many people say that a Chinese rose can be rooted from a twig, which is a big mistake. The labor cost during the seedling period is the highest.
The growth of young Chinese rose seedlings is relatively slow, but it's different with roses, which often grow wildly.
So be careful with cheap seedlings!
2. Look at the seedling condition
Many people like to buy bare-root Chinese rose seedlings. First of all, you need to know that bare-root seedlings can only survive in winter and early spring, and it's difficult to survive in other seasons. If a merchant sells you bare-root Chinese rose seedlings in summer or early autumn, you should know that these seedlings will not survive, so it doesn't matter whether they are fake or not.
3. Look at the store's reputation
When buying Chinese rose seedlings, it is recommended that you buy from stores specializing in Chinese roses. Even if they are not the correct version, the varieties you buy are usually the more common red varieties, not small white flowers.
Generally speaking, stores selling fake seedlings have the characteristic of selling all kinds of flowers and varieties. If you encounter such a store, you should be more careful.
Common mistakes in growing Chinese roses:
Many flower enthusiasts may think, "I've never grown Chinese roses before, let's buy an inexpensive one to practice." However, in fact, wild roses and Chinese roses are completely different things. It may be possible to grow 100 wild roses but not necessarily one Chinese rose, so it is recommended not to waste your time.
Buy small seedlings, which are cheaper and not as painful if they die. Many flower enthusiasts are like this. However, you should know that although small seedlings are cheaper, they are also more difficult to grow and can easily die because of their weak root systems. If you are a beginner and still grow these difficult-to-grow small seedlings, it's like looking for trouble and wasting money!
Avoid the detours I've taken, and I hope everyone can bypass them and not waste time on these pitfalls. After all, life is precious.
Choosing the size of seedlings
Regarding the size of Chinese rose seedlings, some people prefer large ones and others prefer smaller ones.
Large seedlings bloom faster, and small seedlings are cheaper. In fact, as long as they are not too large, it's fine, as everyone's cultivation level is different.
The seedlings in the store are medium to large, which are more suitable for beginner flower enthusiasts. There are many seedlings in the nursery, but they are not recommended for purchase. Although they are cheap, they have weak root systems and are more difficult to cultivate. Even if they can survive, it will take a long time to grow into a somewhat potted plant.
For beginners, it is still recommended to buy seedlings in V9 pots, which are more affordable and have good growth. Of course, if your cultivation level is higher, you can also choose nursery seedlings, as they are cheaper.
In short, only by keeping them alive can there be more possibilities; if they die, everything is wasted!
