What should you do when your rose gets sick? One thing from the kitchen, diluted with water and sprayed on, takes care of it

[0034]Rose got sick? Don't be afraid, one thing from the kitchen, diluted with water and sprayed on, takes care of it!

Lanyao, there's a layer of white stuff on my rose leaves, it seems to be sick again? What should I do?

I opened my eyes this morning and saw a comment like this from a gardening friend. When growing roses, good ventilation is a must. If ventilation is poor, pests and diseases are more likely to occur. But powdery mildew and black spot on roses aren't that scary either. As long as you take measures early, they're actually quite easy to treat.

For rose pests and diseases, we should still focus on prevention. Usually, you must maintain sufficient ventilation. During care, frequently applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can improve the resistance of roses.

Usually you should pay attention to observing your roses. When you notice something unusual on the leaves, promptly remove the diseased leaves and carry out sterilization and prevention.

Many gardening friends grow roses on balconies and worry that using pesticides will be harmful to their family's health. In fact, you can treat our roses' diseases just as well without pesticides.

Many gardening friends probably have baking soda at home. We often use baking soda for cleaning, but in fact baking soda can also have a sterilizing effect and can be used to treat fungal diseases of roses such as black spot and powdery mildew.

When using baking soda to treat rose diseases, you can dilute it with water to about 200 times and spray it. When spraying, be sure to spray the backs of the leaves and the surface of the potting soil as well.

In fact, even when roses haven't developed the disease, you can also spray some baking soda water on roses in hot, humid weather to prevent rose diseases.

You may wonder, why can baking soda treat rose diseases?

Baking soda water is alkaline, and alkalinity has a sterilizing effect.

So if you think about it more broadly, are there other things at home that can be used to treat rose diseases?

For example, laundry detergent water or soapy water. The principle is actually the same, but note that when using them you should pay attention to the concentration and also to the frequency of use. After all, these are all alkaline, and high concentrations will harm your roses.

Personally, Lanyao still recommends using medication for prevention and treatment. It's simpler and less worrisome, especially for severely affected plants, where treatment with these household items sometimes struggles to achieve good results.

Do you have any clever tips for treating rose diseases? Feel free to leave Lanyao a comment below.
