The weather has turned cooler recently, and many flower lovers who like roses will take cuttings or buy a few pots of roses to grow. But perhaps because they do not understand care very well, many flower lovers' roses have shown dead seedlings. So what practices are wrong and will lead to dead rose seedlings? Let Gutou analyze it.

1. Watering randomly, roses will drown at your hands

During the seedling stage of roses, many people like to water roses frequently, thinking that this way the young seedlings will shoot up quickly. But to be honest, many cases of dead rose seedlings are caused by watering too much. Because the root system of seedlings is very fragile, watering too much leaves the small fine roots soaking in moist growing medium, which easily leads to root rot.

If the roots have all rotted, can you still expect the rose seedlings to grow smoothly? So, to prevent dead rose seedlings, we should reasonably control the amount and frequency of watering. Just water thoroughly, and do not let the potting soil be too wet.

2. Fertilizing randomly, root burns and dead seedlings are non-negotiable

Many flower lovers have too high expectations for roses and hope roses can grow quickly. So when it comes to fertilizing, they spare no effort. For example, before potting, they add various fertilizers as base fertilizer, afraid that the growing medium is too poor and makes the roses lack fertilizer. Another example is that before the rose seedlings have adapted to the pot, they anxiously give the roses additional fertilizer.

In fact, at this time the root system of the rose seedlings has not yet grown stably and is very fragile. How can it consume such a large amount of fertilizer? So this easily burns the roots, and then dead rose seedlings appear. In fact, there is no need to fertilize roses so urgently. Wait until the roses grow stably and the root system is more developed and robust, and it is not too late to fertilize then. After all, some rose organic fertilizers are rich in various organic substances and greatly promote rose growth. Applying them then will not be too late.

3. Moving your hands randomly, gilding the lily will surely cause trouble

Many flower lovers grow roses, and because they care deeply about roses, they often unconsciously want to give roses more care. Not only do they stare at the rose pot all day long, but after staring for a long time, they also reach out their hands, moving things here and turning things there; or if they feel the rose is growing unevenly, they pick up scissors to prune; or they pick up water and just water randomly.

You think you are being good to the roses, but in fact you are invisibly causing them harm. Especially when the actions are very frequent, it is easy for the roses to be unable to bear it and dead seedlings to appear. It is understandable to love deeply, but sometimes this love is a bit like gilding the lily, so restrain your heart and control your hands.

These 3 wrong practices are equivalent to "pulling up seedlings to help them grow." I do not know whether you have done them before. If so, it is recommended that you correct them.
