Finally, the rain stopped yesterday. After the long holiday, the sun seems unwilling to work, and the sunshine is on and off. When I was applying foliar fertilizer to the roses, I found that a棒棒糖 (candy cane) rose had drooping tender branches. I believe many rose enthusiasts have encountered this problem, especially after prolonged rain and晴天 (sunny days).Common reasons for drooping tender branches of rosesThe reasons for the drooping of new branches of roses are mainly as follows.1. After a long time without seeing the sun, sudden exposure to strong sunlight can cause the tender branches to lack water and droop.2. Over-fertilization can lead to water loss in the rose branches and cause drooping.3. Dry soil in the pot can cause the tender branches to droop.4. Accumulation of water in the potting soil, poor root respiration, and drooping of the tender branches.So, what is the situation with this candy cane rose? We can use the elimination method to find the cause.First of all, it is common for tender branches to droop after a long rain and the sun comes out. However, the sunlight yesterday was too weak, basically in a cloudy state. Under this condition, normal rose tender branches would not droop due to this light intensity. Moreover, the other rose potted plants' tender branches are all normal, so we can rule out this reason.It's also impossible for the soil in the pot to be dry, as it has been raining continuously for a month, and the soil would definitely not be too dry. In this case, only the situations of fertilizer damage and waterlogging are left.Although compound fertilizer was applied before, most of it has not decomposed yet. Fertilizer concentration causing water loss in tender branches usually results in severe fertilizer damage with significant plant damage, not just mild drooping, so this reason can be basically ruled out.That leaves only the last reason of waterlogging in the potting soil. The pot used is a black 5-gallon pot, which is quite large, and there are only 6 square holes for drainage. By carefully observing the soil at the drainage hole position, it can be seen that there is still water seeping out, indicating that the potting soil is moist and lacks water.What should we do if there is waterlogging in the potting soil?Once waterlogging occurs in the potting soil, if left for too long, the roots will not get enough oxygen and may rot, leading to poor absorption by the roots, drooping of the tender branches, and further development of the whole plant withering. So, how can we save it? I took the following four actions. You can refer to them when encountering similar problems.1. Water the roots with clean water to check the pot drainageThere are two situations of waterlogging in the potting soil: one is the blockage of the drainage holes, and the other is insufficient aeration of the potting soil. How to judge? It's actually very simple, just water it to test.I first poured 4 liters of clean water and found that the water accumulated on the surface of the potting soil and took a long time to penetrate. There was no obvious water outlet from the drainage holes, so I used a small stick to unblock the drainage holes. The water volume slightly increased, but the water渗透 (penetration) speed was still slow after watering.The slow渗透 speed indicates that the aeration of the potting soil needs to be improved. To increase aeration, I first loosened the soil because changing the soil at this time would cause significant damage. It's better to use a conservative method to save it first. So, I poked several holes in different parts of the potting soil to speed up the water渗透.2. Water the roots with a large amount of clean waterAfter unblocking the drainage holes and poking holes in the potting soil, I watered the roots with a large amount of clean water again. The idea of watering the roots with a large amount of clean water is: the oxygen in the stagnant water is severely insufficient, with many bacteria and miscellaneous bacteria, while the new water has relatively sufficient oxygen and fewer bacteria and miscellaneous bacteria. Using new water to remove the stagnant water in the potting soil can provide the soil with a new environment.3. Make slits in the pot wall for aerationDuring the process of watering the roots with a large amount of clean water, I found that the渗透 speed of the potting soil and the drainage speed of the water outlet were still relatively slow. Although I used half a brick to raise the middle of the pot bottom to help with drainage, I still felt that the drainage speed was too slow. There was still a risk of waterlogging in the potting soil, so I needed to increase the aeration of the pot and let the potting soil dry.So, I prepared to make slits in the pot wall. First, I used a hacksaw, but it was too dull and couldn't cut. Being a tough woman, I果断 (decisively) picked up a cutting machine and after a round of operations, the pot, which originally had only a few drainage holes, became ventilated and漏水 (leakage) on all four sides, instantly increasing the aeration by 0 times.4. Water the roots with carbendazimAfter watering the roots with a large amount of clean water, the environment of the potting soil was renewed, and the pot was opened for aeration. Finally, to prevent this rose from rotting the roots or further rotting, I watered the roots with carbendazim, the concentration was poured randomly, estimated to be 800-1000 times. After these operations, I could only observe and wait.The rescue time was 11 a.m. By 2 p.m., when I went to check again, the candy cane rose had returned to normal, and this rescue was successfully completed. I hope this emergency measure can give you some inspiration. For more solutions to common problems with roses, you can refer to the introduction in the book "How to Raise a Bursting Rose from Scratch."The above is a comprehensive explanation of how to deal with waterlogging in Chinese roses during rainy days. I hope it helps you.
