Growing roses in autumn and guarding against the autumn tiger: get the fertilizer and water right

Autumn has arrived, and the weather is slowly turning cool, but the autumn tiger is lurking in a corner, eyeing us hungrily and dealing our roses a fatal blow from time to time. So when growing potted roses in autumn, while guarding against the autumn tiger, you also need good fertilizer and good water, and it will be a bit hard for the roses not to burst with blooms.

Good water

Roses are better suited to growing in slightly acidic soil, so when watering roses normally, use acidic water as much as possible and do not use hard water with a high salt-alkali content, which will cause the soil to compact, poor roots, an unhealthy plant, yellow leaves and other problems. Tap water is the most common source for watering, but this water is not the best for watering roses. Usually you can use lemon water, vinegar water, or expired beer diluted with water to water roses, generally once a week is enough. At the same time, control the amount of water well and do not cause waterlogging; water until water comes out of the bottom of the pot, and it is best to use a large spray bottle to water slowly.

Good fertilizer

Roses prefer acidic fertilizer, and it should be rich in humus, with a rich and balanced content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. So you must use an organic fertilizer specially made for roses to grow them well, because this is specially made for rose growth, rooting and strengthening the plant, purely plant-based fermentation, safe and environmentally friendly, and even more necessary for families with pets and children. More importantly, it can also make roses bloom more and the plant stronger.

In addition, we also need to consider the growth habits of roses and create the most suitable environment for them to grow.

Soil environment

In order for roses to grow long-term in a loose, breathable soil environment, it is generally recommended to add some granular soil to the soil. If you have leaf mold, you can also add one part, plus pine needles, corn cobs, or loofah sponge and similar water-retaining, breathable materials to the soil, and then you do not need to worry about watering too much or root rot.

External environment

It is best to grow roses outdoors, and ventilation must be good, otherwise it is easy to cause pests and diseases. At the same time, maintain 4-6 hours of light a day, which while sterilizing can also promote leaf photosynthesis and produce more flower buds.

For potted roses, even if many aspects are limited, by doing the above points well, they can still bloom all over the pot and give you a full harvest.
