Different fertilizing methods for roses at different stages:
Today, I will explain the different fertilizing methods for roses at different stages: the introduction of green plants and flowers, please read on!
People who often read articles should have seen articles about rose fertilization. Roses are one of the most fertilizer-loving flowers because they bloom profusely and have a long blooming period.
This is not the question raised by the readers the day before yesterday:
Can roses be fertilized during the flowering period?
Similarly, a flower friend in the reader group asked a similar question:
Can roses be fertilized when the buds show color?
Perhaps you also have the same doubts. Today, I will briefly talk about the fertilizing methods of roses during the germination period, before, during, and after flowering.
Different fertilizing methods for roses at different stages:
Roses in different stages have different needs for water and fertilizer, and we should also fertilize differently. Below, I will divide roses into 3 stages for analysis.
1. -- Bud Stage (Before flowering) --
The bud stage should start one week before the rose bud appears, but many flower friends cannot accurately grasp the time of rose budding, so they start from the appearance of the bud and calculate until the bud shows color, which is called the bud stage.
When roses are developing buds, they need to consume a lot of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, so when fertilizing, fertilizers with higher phosphorus and potassium content should be mainly used. For example, monopotassium phosphate, Flower多多 No.2, and so on.
Notice:
Many flower friends use the method of foliar topdressing. Here is a reminder that after the rose bud shows color, it is better not to use the foliar topdressing method. Once the concentration is too high, it can directly cause the rose bud to burn.
2. -- Blooming Stage (During flowering) --
Should roses be fertilized during the blooming period? This seems to be a question that many people want to ask.
There is a saying that fertilizing during the flowering period can easily cause the flowers to wither early and fade prematurely.
Therefore, many people will stop fertilizing during the flowering period. However, opinions on this vary.
Whether fertilizing during the flowering period causes the flowers to wither early is not the point. But there are two facts we should recognize:
1. Flowers consume a lot of nutrients when they open.
2. The development of buds consumes a lot of nutrients.
Roses often have multiple buds on one branch, and in general, the largest bud opens first, followed by the smaller buds.
The first flowers to open during the flowering period consume a lot of nutrients. If timely topdressing is not carried out, the small buds that are still developing may die due to insufficient nutrition.
I believe that some of our flower friends have encountered the situation where the small buds of roses turn yellow and fall off while flowering. This is mostly due to a lack of fertilizer.
What kind of fertilizer should be applied during the flowering period?
Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should still be the main focus during the flowering period. Be sure to avoid excessive nitrogen fertilization, as too much nitrogen can cause bud loss. Similarly, when topdressing, avoid foliar application and use the root irrigation method instead.
3. -- Germination Stage (After flowering) --
The so-called germination stage refers to the period after pruning the roses, when no new buds have sprouted or just after new buds have appeared and before the bud appears.
During this stage, the rose is mainly growing branches and requires more nitrogen fertilizer. At this time, we can use fertilizers with higher nitrogen content or use compound water-soluble fertilizers with a ratio of 1:1:1 of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for topdressing.
The above is the fertilizing method for roses at different stages: the specific introduction of fertilizing before, during, and after rose flowering, hoping everyone will like it!
