Why are roses prickly?
Among so many widely planted flowers, roses are a typical thorny one. The thorns of the rose are also gradually formed because of its long-standing environment.
The fragrance of roses is not only charming, but also attracts other small animals, in order to protect themselves from birds and insects, they use thorns to protect themselves; in addition, roses have the ability to grow in arid areas, which requires it to have enough water storage capacity, and the role of thorns is to help roses replenish water when water is scarce.
Hydroponic vs soil culture
Hydroponic——
Hydroponic roses need a clean vase, it is best to wash the vase in advance, disinfect it, and when adding water, it is best to use pure water to add to 1/3 of the vase, which is easier to reduce the breeding and reproduction of bacteria.
Before the rose is inserted into the water, simply trim the dry, yellowed leaves, preferably only a few under the buds, and the leaves cannot be soaked in water. In order to increase the water absorption capacity, if it is a dry spring or summer, the root can also be cross-pruned to maximize the water absorption capacity.
During the maintenance period, the water should be changed every other day, if there is not enough time, you can also change it in time after seeing the water become dirty, and the root of the rose should be cut obliquely by about 2 cm each time the water is changed.
Tu Pei——
Soil-cultivated roses try to use loose, fertile, well-drained soil when selecting soil, and choose sandy soil as best. You can change the soil every other year, adjust the size of the pot according to the size of the root system, and pay attention to the pruning of the excess roots on the bottom of the pot. Roses are afraid of too much water, so in the case of dry soil, you can carry out a watering, the soil can be completely soaked, and the bottom of the pot should be empty of water to prevent the rose from rotting roots caused by standing water.
Roses do not need to be fertilized specifically, unless thin fertilizer can be added when nutrients are insufficient, and compound fertilizer can be selected. When fertilizing, the soil should be turned to a depth of about ten centimeters for fertilization. Native roses should be exposed to the sun for four or five hours a day, except for the hot sun, and to maintain ventilation.
