How to care for potted roses in summer? Please give guidanceThe reason potted roses die in summer is mostly because the potting soil was not properly mixed, and the pots were not repotted and the soil not changed in spring, so the nutrients in the original potting soil were largely depleted. As a result, the roses cannot withstand the high temperatures and die. In the hot summer season, roses are almost in a semi-dormant state. Some people see that the roses are not blooming or are blooming little, and think it is due to insufficient fertility, so they apply more fertilizer and stronger fertilizer. In addition, the high summer temperatures cause the fertilizer to ferment faster, and the roses will have their root systems burned.
After repotting and changing the soil, place the plant in a cool place for about a week before returning to normal care. Remove the compacted soil and replace it with loose potting soil.
Control fertilization: apply a diluted liquid fertilizer once every 15 to 20 days, and increase the fertilizer amount in late summer. For roses that have already shown signs of dieback, immediately wash the roots and change the soil, prune some branches, and place them in a cool, shaded place for care.
In addition, in summer, spray water on the rose leaves more often. Watering should be done in the morning and evening, and the branches should not be heavily pruned. Also pay attention to pest prevention, and strengthen light and ventilation.
