Rose seedlings do not grow but instead shed leaves after potting for half a month
A bit of knowledge to share with you: the small knowledge of rose seedlings not growing but shedding leaves after potting for half a month. Next, the editor will introduce to everyone.
To grow roses well, it's actually not enough to keep trying repeatedly.
If the direction of effort is wrong, it's just a waste of time.
For instance, in the rose cultivation group, there is a flower enthusiast who has been growing roses for 5 years but still not very well, so she chose to learn.
This is the right choice and a shortcut to quickly grow good roses.
Today, the last 3 days to register for the rose cultivation class, I decided to give an extra benefit to the flower friends who register for the rose class: anyone participating in this course will receive:
300 varieties of rose breed information
This is what I have collected for reference when selecting breeds.
Of course, this information is not useful for those who do not grow roses. But for rose growers, it has considerable reference value, especially for breed enthusiasts or those who want to create a small rose garden.
Also, to clarify, this rose breed information will be sent until October 18th, after which it will not be included.
If you want to participate in this rose class, there is a registration method at the bottom of the article.
Alright, after discussing the big benefits of the rose class, let's talk about today's article topic.
First, let's look at the picture below, sent by a flower enthusiast. This rose plant has only been bought for a few days, but all the leaves have fallen off, leaving only a bare stem.
This rose plant, bought for about two weeks, started shedding leaves after being planted, and by the time of consultation, there was still no change. The location of this flower enthusiast is close to Shanghai, and the climate is also similar. This season should be the time for roses to grow rapidly.
Then why is it like this? The branches of this rose plant look quite sturdy, which is considered sturdy among seedlings. The level of the branches can be said to be a medium seedling, but from the performance after planting, the root system is worrying.
So it is suspected that the seedling this flower enthusiast bought is a (Z-B) seedling, the kind that is shipped without a pot, or a nutrient pot seedling with poor roots but good branches.
The answer given by the flower enthusiast is indeed this: the rose seedling arrived in a black nutrient pot, and this flower enthusiast planted it directly with the soil without doing any treatment, which brings the problem.
I have emphasized many times the importance of choosing seedlings, preferably selecting seedlings in hard plastic pots, as this reduces damage to the roots during shipping.
So what if the wrong seedling is chosen?
Rose seedlings do not grow but instead shed leaves after potting for half a month
If the seedling is not chosen correctly, then during potting, some treatment is needed. The soil clumps of nutrient pot seedlings are usually very compact, sometimes intentionally made solid during shipping. After receiving these seedlings, the roots are barely visible, so when potting, the soil clump must be broken apart.
If the seedling is very small and the soil clump is also small, breaking it apart might result in nearly bare roots, but that's fine; it still needs to be broken apart. If not, even for larger seedlings, not breaking the soil clump and planting directly will result in new roots not growing, leading to problems like the one this flower enthusiast encountered: leaves falling off without any growth.
Of course, in addition to appropriately breaking apart the soil clump, we also need to make appropriate pruning based on the condition of the roots and the state of the branches, which is more conducive to the rose seedlings quickly adapting to the new pot and restarting growth.
Yesterday, a flower enthusiast chatted with Green Plant Enthusiast Network, saying that his several plants have been rescued many times but still seem to grow poorly, and he is losing confidence in his flower-growing ability. Is he really not suited for growing flowers?
Green Plant Enthusiast Network wants to tell every flower enthusiast that for flowers, there are only unsuitable growing environments, not unsuitable flower-growers! Flower-growing requires skills, and with a certain level of cultivation skills and in a suitable environment, it is natural to grow flowers well.
