How to care for balcony roses after the Start of Autumn? These points need attention

After the Start of Autumn, the weather changes quickly. Sometimes the sky is still clear and bright, and in the blink of an eye there is wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and the weather suddenly turns cool. For a flower like the rose that is prone to disease, this season is truly a bit hard to endure.

When growing roses after the Start of Autumn, those kept outdoors are easier to handle, but growing roses on a balcony that is not open-air is a bit difficult. Because of the limitations of the balcony, there is often no way to grow very attractive roses, so at this time you should pay attention to these "details". Otherwise you will not get this round of autumn flowers.

1. "Water" a bit more

Growing roses on a balcony inherently lacks one condition, and that is sufficient humidity. Because indoors is different from outdoors, the indoor air humidity is relatively low, and this is not a good thing for roses. After the Start of Autumn, the weather becomes even drier, so for roses, when watering at this time, you should pay more attention.

When watering, also follow the principle of "do not water if not dry, water thoroughly if you water". But because autumn is relatively dry, watering in autumn should be done more frequently. Water when it is dry, so that the roses have enough moisture to grow and promote flowering. However, also note here that you should avoid watering during the high temperatures at noon, otherwise it is easy to mean well but do harm, watering the roses badly and losing more than you gain. You should water in the morning and evening.

2. "Fertilize" a bit more

After the Start of Autumn, roses will welcome another round of growth and flowering. During this period, you need to grasp it well, otherwise if nutrients cannot keep up, the roses will go on strike. Not only will they not grow well, they will not even bloom. So when growing roses after the Start of Autumn, especially on balconies where light, ventilation and humidity are inherently insufficient, fertilizer is the thing they can rely on most, so you can apply a bit more fertilizer.

But here you should also follow the principle of "light fertilizer applied frequently", to avoid the current high temperatures plus strong fertilizer burning the roots of the roses. At this time also note that you should use less granular fertilizer and avoid using incompletely decomposed compost, as these two kinds of fertilizer also easily harm roses. You can use organic liquid fertilizer specially made for roses, dilute it with water at 1000 times, put it in a spray bottle and spray to water. The fertilizer strength is mild and it is convenient to apply.

3. "Ventilate" a bit more

Indoors is different from outdoors. Indoors is relatively stuffy, and once roses are stuffy, they easily get sick. Coupled with a dry environment, it is even easier for the "formidable enemy" red spider mite to breed. So when growing roses on a balcony, you should pay attention to the ventilation problem for the roses.

Generally, although the windows have already been opened, the air circulation is still not very sufficient. At this time you can use a small fan to blow air on the roses, keeping them in a relatively well-ventilated environment. If conditions permit, flower lovers can move the entire pot of roses outdoors, so the roses can get better ventilation.

4. "Expose" to a bit more sunlight

Growing roses on a balcony inherently easily lacks the resource of sunlight, and now it is the Start of Autumn, so the duration of light will also gradually decrease. Therefore at this time flower lovers should pay more attention to the roses in their hands, and absolutely not let them go without light, otherwise the flowers the roses bloom will not look very good either.

After the Start of Autumn, when growing roses, if you can move them outdoors, then move them outdoors and let them get more sun. If conditions do not allow it, then use a mirror to reflect light onto the roses, so the roses can also receive sunlight.

Alright, the above are some points to note when growing roses on a balcony after autumn. Have you learned them?
