What to do if your rose won't bloom? Add this and it will bloom beautifully
The whole point of growing roses is to enjoy the flowers, and a rose that won't bloom is a real headache! Try adding this and it will bloom beautifully!
For a rose to bloom, you not only need to apply nitrogen fertilizer so the roots grow thick and strong and the branches and leaves grow dense. You also need to apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, because phosphorus fertilizer is what promotes blooming. If you apply too much nitrogen fertilizer, it will cause excessive vegetative growth of branches and leaves and result in no flowers. So remember, if you want flowers, you must keep up with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.
Add a little eggshell powder to the soil
Eggshell powder is a slow-release phosphorus fertilizer and is a great help to the growth of flowers. Mixing a little eggshell powder into the soil or placing it on the surface of the potting soil works very well.
The specific method
Collect eggshells, wash the egg white inside them completely clean, and put them on a balcony to sun thoroughly for two days so they can dry completely. Then crush them thoroughly with a tool. When potting up or repotting your rose, add a small amount of eggshell powder. It not only improves the soil's permeability but also makes the soil more fertile and supplements phosphorus.
You can also spread it flat on the surface of the potting soil. Each time you water, the fertilizer effect will flow with the water toward the roots and provide nutrients to the flowers. The effect is also very good, and it is simple and convenient.
Add a little bone meal to the soil
Bone meal is also a kind of phosphorus fertilizer. Bone meal is often used as an organic base fertilizer when potting up or repotting, and it does a great job of providing nutrients to flowers. As for where to get bone meal, you can buy it directly at a flower market, or you can make some yourself; the method is simple and convenient!
The specific method
Collect leftover bones from meals, such as pork bones, chicken bones, fish bones and so on, boil them in a pressure cooker for half an hour to cook out all the oil and grease inside, take them out, and sun them in the sunlight for two days. You can crush them with a tool, then mix them into the soil, and the fertilizer effect will be released slowly.
These 2 things are common materials in daily life; the method is simple and easy to do.
If you find it useful, just get started and make it yourself!
