Roses tormented by red spider mites? A strong blast of water works better than pesticides

During the plum rain season, growing roses, especially balcony-grown roses in midsummer, makes red spider mites very likely to appear. Many flower growers do not know how to deal with this rose disease when they encounter it. In fact, red spider mites are not that frightening. Flower growers only need to use a strong blast of water, which works better than pesticides.

Generally, when flower growers find that their roses have been infected with red spider mites, they use specialized pesticides for control. If insecticides are mixed in when spraying during the plum rain season, a large-scale outbreak of red spider mites in midsummer can be effectively avoided.

However, if the problem cannot be solved after repeated attempts, flower growers may as well try this trick: first, on rose plants generally attacked by red spider mites, the leaves become rather brittle and yellowish and begin to drop. As long as you observe with a magnifying glass, you will find red spider mites densely packed on the undersides of the leaves.

At this time, flower growers can, at noon on a sunny day, tilt the flower pot of the rose suffering from red spider mites, press part of the hose outlet, and aim a high-pressure stream at the undersides of the leaves to rinse them. Be careful to rinse every leaf of the rose.

Then, if the rose plant already has flower buds or is blooming, the flower buds need to be removed. This is because blooming plus red spider mites sucking the rose's sap, the combined effect of both factors, will worsen the condition. Therefore, on sunny days, repeat this action of rinsing the leaves 3 times a day, and treating it this way for 3 days will get rid of the red spider mites.

To keep your beloved roses free from the trouble of red spider mites, flower growers need to pay attention to the following points when caring for roses:

1. Environment

Roses are light-loving plants, so flower growers must let roses get more sun and more sunlight. Usually pay attention to the hygiene and tidiness of the growing environment and keep good ventilation. This can effectively prevent attacks by red spider mites and other pests and diseases.

2. Soil

To strengthen the disease resistance of roses, flower growers need to choose loose, breathable soil, which is good for the growth of the rose root system and promotes robust plant growth.

3. Fertilizer

Roses like heavy fertilizer and heavy watering. With sufficient fertilizer, robust growth can improve disease resistance. Flower growers are recommended to use a special organic nutrient solution for roses, which is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, can effectively promote the supply of nutrients to roses, supplement the growth needs of roses, and promote robust growth of roses. Generally use it once a week. When using it, dilute with water 500 times to water the roots, and 1000 times to spray the leaves.
