Rose is a very romantic flower, symbolizing eternal love. It is usually used as a fresh cut flower, and it is the best choice for giving to girlfriends on Valentine's Day or when proposing marriage. But in fact, the ornamental value of roses as potted plants is also high. Bright-colored roses can also give off a faint fragrance when they are in full bloom, which can calm our irritability and relieve stress. Keeping a pot at home is beautiful and practical. Come and see how to maintain potted roses at home with Huahua!

I. Soil

There is a flower planting proverb that says very well, "If you want to plant flowers, you must take root first". Without a good root system, it is difficult to grow roses well. Suitable soil environment is a necessary condition for raising roses well. Roses like loose and fertile slightly acidic soil, of course, air permeability and water permeability must be good.

Rotten soil is the best choice for growing roses. It is not only loose and breathable, but also nutritious. However, it has good water retention. Therefore, in order to prevent basin soil from accumulating water, some granular soil should be added to the decomposed soil to enhance the drainage of the soil. Only in this way can the roots of roses be well maintained.

Second, moisture.

Whether plants can survive depends on how well they are watered. Although roses are drought-tolerant, long-term water shortage will also cause their capillary roots to dry up and die. If you water too much, the roots of roses will not breathe normally and rot easily, so it is very important to master the amount of water.

Generally, the weather is warmer in spring and autumn, which is also the growing period of roses. Only enough water can make them grow better, so as long as you see the soil surface dry, you should water it once in time. However, in too hot summer and cold winter, roses will go into dormancy with the change of temperature, and their growth rate will slow down or even stop. At this time, its demand for water will naturally be greatly reduced, so we have to wait for 2-3 days after seeing the soil dry, so that the rose will absorb water better.

Third, nutrients

If plants can survive by water, then whether they can be raised well depends on nutrients, especially roses, which are flowering flowers. Adequate nutrients are naturally essential. Generally, when we plant roses, we need to add some decomposed base fertilizer to its pot soil, which can supply all the nutrients needed for the growth of roses and make the soil more loose and breathable, and it is not easy to harden.

Top dressing should be done in time during the spring and autumn season. Only with adequate nutrition, the roots of roses will be stronger and flowers will be better. As soon as you enter the spring, apply some compound fertilizers at will, such as Huaduoduo No.2, which is mainly phosphorus and potassium. We should also irrigate the roots with fully diluted potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution every half month until the roses bloom, and then we can supplement the balanced compound fertilizer once a month at other times. However, if it is too high or too low, it is necessary to stop any form of fertilization in time, otherwise it will easily cause fertilizer damage.

Fourth, light.

Of course, there is another important point. Roses like to bask in the sun, especially in the growing period, and have higher requirements for light. Try to put roses in a place with plenty of light and sunshine. Only with sufficient light can the roots of roses absorb nutrients better and grow stronger. At the same time, sunlight has a good bactericidal effect, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases, killing two birds with one stone.

The maintenance method of potted roses is very simple, and the preservation period is longer than that of flowers, so flower lovers who like roses should quickly choose a few colors they like and plant them on the balcony at home!
