Watering Methods and Precautions for Chinese Rose
Sharing knowledge about the watering methods and precautions for Chinese roses in the field of green plants and flowers. Corrections are welcome if there are any mistakes!
The watering management of Chinese roses should follow the principle of "interval drying and watering". This means watering thoroughly once to allow the water to penetrate deep into the roots, fully moistening the soil without causing waterlogging, and then waiting until the water is absorbed and evaporated, and the surface soil is dry before watering again. The interval between two waterings varies depending on climatic conditions, sunlight exposure, plant growth, and soil properties. It is inappropriate to rigidly set a schedule for watering every few days. The principle of "interval drying and watering" can be universally adopted, but the interval and degree of dryness should be adjusted according to local climate, soil, and the growth stage and condition of the plants.
Here are some points to note when watering Chinese roses:
① During the winter dormancy period, when the leaves have fallen off, the water consumption is not high, just keep the soil slightly moist without completely drying out.
② In early spring, when the plant first recovers and turns green, water thoroughly and pay attention to loosening the soil to keep it moist, but do not water too frequently. This will result in thicker sprouts and shorter internodes.
③ Before the blooming period, slightly increase the watering frequency to keep the soil moist, which helps prevent the flowers from withering.
④ Fertilization should be combined with watering, but try to avoid the loss of fertilizer water. If excessive fertilization occurs and causes leaf burning, water immediately to save the plant.
⑤ In the hot summer, water evaporates quickly, especially during dry seasons, so it is necessary to water twice a day, early morning and late evening, with sufficient water, especially making sure to water thoroughly in the evening. Control watering during the plum rain season.
⑥ When the climate is too dry, it is appropriate to spray more water to increase the air humidity. To keep the branches and leaves shiny and beautiful before flowering, it is also possible to spray water to remove dust. However, avoid excessive spraying to prevent the accumulation of chlorine from tap water on the leaves, which can damage the leaves and, during the season when black spot disease occurs, can lead to the spread of the disease due to water on the leaves carrying spores.
