What causes blind branches in Chinese roses?

The protagonist we are going to talk about in this issue is the Chinese rose. The Chinese rose is a flower species with many colors. The flowers look very beautiful and are deeply loved by many growers. After many people buy Chinese roses and take them home to cultivate, they often encounter the problem of blind branches in Chinese roses. So what causes blind branches to appear in Chinese roses? What should be done? Below, Shuai Shuai will tell everyone about it!

1. Causes

1. What are blind branches

Many friends do not even know what blind branches mean. I guess I am right, right? Blind branches refer to the phenomenon during plant growth in which a plant or stem stops growing, or its top no longer has buds. When Chinese roses grow, this kind of branch appears. On the surface, these branches look lush and green, but in fact they have already stopped developing, and from then on they will remain this size and appearance. In addition, the leaves on blind branches are denser and more numerous than those on healthy branches.

2. Factors

Most blind branches in Chinese roses are caused by insufficient growing conditions and lack of fertilizer, which leads to uneven nutrient transport and causes local branches to stop developing. Of course, another factor is that insufficient light will also have an effect.

2. Solutions

1. Pruning

For blind branches of Chinese roses, we need to start from two key points. The first is pruning. If blind branches are found, cut them off as early as possible. Check for blind branches every time you prune. You only need to cut off the blind branches. Cut off the top of the branch and leave only the buds on the lower half. In addition, if the lower half no longer has buds, you can continue cutting, and just cut off these branches.

2. Care

In addition to pruning, another thing is care. As mentioned earlier, blind branches are caused by insufficient growing conditions, which leads to a lack of nutrients and causes local blind branches. Growers must provide sufficient nutrients during the growing period, especially during the flowering period. Chinese roses in the flowering period consume a very large amount of nutrients, and sufficient light must be provided. Do not place them in dark places, and usually take more time to manage them.
