After two months of care, the rose finally bloomed - the flowers are small but stunning

See how others grow roses - don't aim for too much, blooming is good enough! This gardener's expectations aren't high; being able to bloom when growing roses is enough. This is one of the more traditional and also more "easygoing" gardeners I've seen. The gardener said that after 2 months of getting into roses, they finally saw blooms. Though the flowers are small and few, they are still beautiful.

Actually, growing roses is all about your mood. People in a good mood can always grow them well, while those in a bad mood find it harder. So some say that growing flowers can train a person's state of mind. Roses don't bloom all the time, but the mood for growing flowers should always be kept.

1. What to do when roses are a "medicine jar"

Roses are not only a "medicine jar" but also a "fertilizer basket." You use a lot of pesticides, and you won't use less fertilizer either. For example, thrips and aphids are most abundant when roses are sprouting, and they can basically appear in all four seasons. Next, spider mites are the worst in summer and also the hardest to kill. Powdery mildew is a fungal disease, and it is terrifying when it breaks out. When roses bloom heavily in the later stage, appropriately supplementing a bit of potassium dihydrogen phosphate is also necessary.

So how much does it cost to buy these things on the market?

For smaller packs of insecticides, acetamiprid and imidacloprid (powder formulations cost 1.5~2 yuan/pack, shipping is 6 yuan)

Pesticide for spider mites, a 5ml pack with bifenazate as the ingredient costs about 8 yuan

250g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate costs about 8 yuan per bottle

Fungicide, one pack of carbendazim costs about (2 yuan/pack, shipping 6 yuan)

Alright, the total of the above prices is about: 6+8+8+6=28 yuan. Moreover, diluting powder pesticides is unsafe, mainly because dilution is quite difficult. Take one pack of imidacloprid for example: it is about 5g diluted in 30 jin of water. Let me ask everyone, if I want to dilute it in 1 jin of water, how much should I use? This alone stumps many people, especially elderly people who grow flowers at home.

Safety first means making dilution and use more convenient, and only after that should price be considered.

2. Add some good soil

The soil chosen for growing roses well should not be underestimated either. If the soil is bad, roses will not grow well. If the foundation is bad, later improvement will be relatively difficult. So if you want to grow roses well, the choice of soil must be careful. We need to choose nutrient soil that is breathable and high in organic matter. Vermiculite, peat soil and other materials can be added and mixed in.

3. Watering needs attention

In hot summer, you not only need shade but also watering. Otherwise rose leaves tend to curl and there will be fewer flowers. It is recommended to water once after 6 p.m., and the leaf surface can be sprayed appropriately. Adding a small amount of organic nutrients when watering can make roses grow better.

Alright, it's a good thing that roses can bloom. Don't overthink it, just keep growing them patiently - a pot full of blooms is only a matter of time!
