Learn how to plant rose seedlings and fill your home with a romantic atmosphere

Delicate roses can be grown at home too. More and more people enjoy pottering about with plants and flowers at home, and adding a bit more decoration to the home is nice as well! So how are roses grown? Next, let the editors of Yiqizhuangxiu.com give everyone a brief introduction!

1. Rose seedlings do not have high soil requirements; they only need a good cultivation soil containing a certain amount of humus crumb structure. As long as the following few points are done well, rose seedlings can grow very well.

2. Rose seedlings are drought-tolerant plants that fear waterlogging. Xerophytes are almost all plants that fear waterlogging. If grown in pots, use unglazed clay pots for cultivation and strictly follow the principle of "do not water until dry, and water thoroughly when watering." If rose seedlings are watered frequently, especially if overwatered on humid, rainy days with little evaporation, their roots will be soaked and rotted as if they were being made into "pickles," which is fundamentally different from the principle of hydroponics, and they will die as a result.

3. When cultivating rose seedlings indoors, do not place them in rooms with insufficient light for long periods. Move them regularly to a sunny place to supplement light. Without photosynthesis, rose seedlings will stop producing the nutrients necessary for growth, and the physiological cycle of water and nutrient transport (the light pump effect) will be lost, leading to yellow leaves, rotten leaves, rotten roots, and eventually death.

4. Rose seedlings like light fertilization. Applying heavy fertilizer, especially chemical fertilizer, can cause localized root rot and death. According to the size of the rose seedling plant and the pot, every 1-1.5 months evenly apply 20-40 granules of compound fertilizer or nitrogen fertilizer about 1 cun of soil below the edge of the pot, or water once or twice a month with lightly fermented rice-washing water or other mild liquid fertilizer. As long as the rose seedlings have green leaves, bright flowers, and a good growth state, there is no need to fertilize again.

5. Use a sowing tray or pot. The medium used for sowing should be clean and free of pests, diseases, and fertilizer. After filling with the medium, water it first. When sowing rose seedlings, broadcast sowing or dibbling can be used, but dibbling saves seeds relatively well. Sow each seed one by one, and the spacing between seeds can be based on the width of one finger. After sowing, lightly cover with clean medium. The covering thickness is best not to exceed twice the thickness of the seed. Very small seeds do not need to be covered with medium.

6. After sowing, seal the surface of the pot with plastic wrap, and poke several holes in the plastic wrap. On one hand, this can keep moisture in; on the other hand, it can prevent rose seedling seeds from being affected by external forces. Finally, place the seeds in a cool, ventilated place and wait quietly for germination. When germination is found, move the pot to a bright place, but do not expose it directly to the sun. When the rose seedlings grow tall enough to touch the plastic wrap, the plastic wrap can be removed. When the rose seedlings grow two leaves, they can be placed in a place with direct sunlight in the morning and evening to avoid leggy growth. At this time, fertilization can also begin, using a quick-acting fertilizer with an NPK ratio of 20-20-20, diluted 2000 times, applied once a week. When the rose seedlings have about 5 or more leaves, they can be transplanted into other pots!

These plants can repel insects, get them quickly!

Among plants, some have special effects. For example, insect-repelling plants. Today, the editor will give everyone a specific introduction to plants that can safely repel insects.

Pennyroyal, mosquito-repelling grass

Repels flies, fleas, gnats, chiggers, and ticks.

Lantana

The branches, leaves, and flowers release a scent sensitive to mosquitoes and flies, with a strong effect of driving away mosquitoes and flies

Catnip

Repels ants, aphids, Japanese beetles, squash bugs, and mice

It has a well-developed root system and can loosen the soil, making it suitable for planting together with eggplants.

Tansy

Repels ants, small flying insects, Japanese beetles, yellow cucumber beetles, squash bugs, flies, and mice.

It has a very high potassium content and is a good companion for fruit trees, roses, and raspberries.

Lily of the valley

The cardiac glycosides contained in lily of the valley can repel cockroaches, and the whole plant can be used as medicine.

However, it cannot be placed close to lilacs or narcissus, or it will wilt.

In addition to placing plants, also pay attention to cleaning and hygiene to create a clean living environment. Besides home arrangement, cleaning every sanitary corner is also very important. Also pay attention to ventilation, and remember some small insect-repelling tips, so that insects can be kept outside the door.

TIPS：

1. For hydroponic plants, change the water regularly; for soil-grown plants, promptly clean up accumulated water in the saucer.

2. For sanitary blind spots, such as damp, dim corners, clean them thoroughly and dry them before placing insect-repelling plants; the effect will be more obvious.

3. Place sliced onion or fresh oleander leaves in appropriate amounts in the wardrobe to repel insects. But note one point: oleander is not suitable for indoor cultivation.

4. The placement of plants should be arranged according to the preferences of different plants, satisfying the plants' sunlight and temperature needs while also appropriately driving away pests.
