How much does a four-season rose seedling cost? Solutions for yellowing leaves in potted plants
Four-season rose is also called thornless rose and purple-branch rose. It is a flowering plant with ornamental value in all four seasons: the branches are enjoyed in winter and spring, the flowers in summer and autumn, and the fruit in autumn. The common flower color of the four-season rose is purplish red, with a rich fragrance, and the flowers are very large. It is mostly found in the Pingyin area of Shandong in our country, and is now also grown in places such as Henan. So how much does a four-season rose seedling cost? How should yellowing leaves in potted plants be dealt with?
1. How much does a four-season rose seedling cost?
The price of four-season rose seedlings is roughly 0.5-3 yuan each, and is affected by factors such as the height of the four-season rose seedling, place of origin, market conditions, purchase quantity and purchasing channel, with certain differences among regions. It is recommended to buy seedlings at a formal and reliable nursery market, as the survival rate will be higher when planting them this way.
2. How should yellowing leaves in potted four-season roses be dealt with?
1. Environmental change
After a potted four-season rose is bought and brought home, the environment will change somewhat, and it is normal for the leaves to turn yellow. Generally, after about a week of normal care they will turn green again; this is a very common phenomenon in plants.
2. Too much watering
If a potted four-season rose has newly emerged leaves that turn yellow, shrivel, become small and grow slowly, while the old leaves show no obvious change, the common cause is usually too much watering, which leads to waterlogging and root rot. If the yellowing of the leaves is not very serious, controlling the amount of watering and waiting until the soil has dried out completely before watering again can still ease it. If the yellowing of the four-season rose leaves is relatively serious, the roots may have already begun to rot; in this case the rotten roots need to be pruned away, the wounds treated, and then the plant repotted.
3. Insufficient light
The four-season rose is a light-loving flower, and if it does not receive light for a long time the leaves will also turn yellow. In addition, if you want the four-season rose to bloom well and bloom on schedule, you must give it enough light. Therefore, place the four-season rose in a spot with plenty of light, but do not expose it to the sun in summer; choose the morning or afternoon when the light is weaker to put it outdoors, and move it indoors at other times.
4. Incorrect fertilizing
Fertilizing is a very key factor affecting the growth of the four-season rose, and if the fertilizing method is incorrect, phenomena such as yellowing and withering of the leaves will also occur. Because a long-term lack of fertilizer will cause the plant to suffer from insufficient nutrients, and the leaves will naturally turn yellow. Applying too much fertilizer at one time will burn the leaves and roots and cause the leaves to turn yellow. Therefore, fertilizing must be scientific, mastering the scientific method of frequent fertilizing and light fertilizing.
5. Normal growth
Plant growth is like human metabolism, and yellowing leaves are also a natural manifestation; with normal care, the leaves of the four-season rose generally turn green again very quickly.
