2. Conservative Fertilizing
Chinese roses like a lot of fertilizer, but it must be applied frequently with low concentration—it's safer when it's more diluted. From mid-May to mid-October, a phosphorus-potassium liquid fertilizer should be supplemented every ten days. During the severe heat, the concentration of the fertilizer solution should be appropriately reduced.
3. Using Fermented Fish Innards as Fertilizer
I have also used fermented fish innards as fertilizer before because I heard that Chinese roses like meaty fertilizers. Practice has proven that this method is not very good, and it has a strong odor, with the efficacy being less than that of fermented soybean dregs. I use a covered paint bucket to compost the soybean dregs, with a faucet installed 15 centimeters above the ground. When composting the soybean dregs, I put the tea leaves that I have left after drinking into it. Since I like to drink Oolong tea, there are a lot of tea leaves, which can remove much of the smell. With a higher dilution ratio, the odor is minimal.
4. Using Soybean Dregs for Fertilizing
Chinese roses like fertilizer and sunlight, and they can tolerate a high amount of fertilizer. The main fertilizer I use is the soybean dregs left from making soy milk, which are fermented and then diluted with water before watering. The dilution ratio is 20% fertilizer and 80% water. Starting in the spring, I fertilize once a week, and when the flower buds appear, I add some calcium-magnesium-phosphorus fertilizer to the fertilizer water. I fertilize first when the potting soil looks dry, and then water the next day. All the Chinese roses can bloom large flowers.
Summary: All methods cater to the fact that Chinese roses like fertilizer, so enthusiasts can try fertilizing within a reasonable range and summarize their own experience. Since every enthusiast uses different soil, pot sizes, and rose seedlings, more personal exploration and practice are needed when fertilizing Chinese roses. Other enthusiasts' fertilizing methods are for reference only.
