No longer be misled, who said that the young seedlings of Chinese roses need to pinch off the buds?
Today's experience sharing: No longer be misled, who said that the young seedlings of Chinese roses need to pinch off the buds related to the experience of flower planting, very good knowledge, it is recommended to collect!
This is the 846th day of original articles every day.
This article is one of the original theories.
Excerpt from the "Three-Step Method for Raising Chinese Roses" series of articles.
If you have been following the articles, then by today you should have learned the basic skills of raising Chinese roses.
But I believe that keeping Chinese roses alive is not our goal. We need to raise our standards a bit higher, not only to keep them alive but also to raise them well.
Talking about raising Chinese roses well, we have to mention pruning. Everyone who has raised Chinese roses knows that they need to be pruned regularly, but many新手 gardeners are not familiar with them.
I have encountered many新手 gardeners who ask in my online store when buying Chinese roses:
How tall are the Chinese roses? Can they bloom this year?
And some gardeners who buy seedlings in early spring are dissatisfied after receiving the goods, saying that the seedlings are too short and too small. What I actually want to say is:
Letting Chinese roses "shorten" is to make them stronger and bloom more!
Today's topic is about pruning Chinese roses, but today we will not discuss the pruning methods. Instead, let's talk about why we need to prune?
Why do we need to prune Chinese roses regularly?
We say that Chinese roses bloom at the top of new branches. If we do not prune, the roses will not produce new buds for a long time, and even if new buds grow, they will be weak.
Because if we do not prune, the roses will sprout new buds at the top of the existing branches, but the branches are too long, the distance for nutrient transport is too far, the loss is more, and the branches will become weaker and weaker.
If it's a potted plant, the branches will be too thin and long, the plant shape will be unattractive, and the ornamental value will also be greatly reduced.
By pruning, we can adjust the shape of the Chinese rose plant, promote the production of new buds, and since the new buds are near the base of the branch, there is more nutrient storage, and the new branches that grow will be strong.
This is the reason why we need to prune Chinese roses regularly. Pruning is not divided into large and small seedlings, both need to be pruned, and pruning is divided into cutting branches and cutting flowers.
Large plants are mainly pruned, while small seedlings are mainly pruned for flowers, pinching off buds.
I have written articles about pinching off the buds of young Chinese rose seedlings before, and some gardeners have raised doubts, saying:
I saw that Tianlang said that the young seedlings of Chinese roses do not need to pinch off the flower buds, and the presence of flower buds indicates that they can bloom, and the young seedlings bought all come with flowers.
So, should the flower buds of young Chinese rose seedlings be pruned?
I suggest it's best to cut them.
If you can't bear to cut them, or if you want to see the color and whether they are standard, I suggest:
Immediately cut them after blooming and keep them in a vase.
Why should we cut them? To make your seedlings stronger and avoid僵 seedlings.
No matter who tells you that young seedlings can do without pinching off flower buds, it's no match for reality! ——僵 seedlings
If you don't pinch off the buds or cut the flowers, the僵 seedling rate of young Chinese rose seedlings in home cultivation can reach 70-80%.
Are you surprised?
You post photos of young Chinese rose seedlings blooming well, so why do you ask us to cut off the flower buds?
You should know that the V9 pot seedlings are not considered very small and are professionally raised by nurseries!
Please note that it is *professionally raised*, using special soil, special fertilizers, regularly applying pesticides, regularly pruning, and regularly changing pots!
Can we do that at home? If not, don't think too much, just pinch off the flower buds!
If you can ensure sufficient water and fertilizer (G-Y), then it doesn't matter how you raise them. Flower raising is not dogmatic, and you should decide on the method of raising based on your own situation.
No longer be misled, who said that young Chinese rose seedlings need to pinch off the buds?
Time for pinching off the buds of young Chinese rose seedlings:
The time for pinching off the buds of young Chinese rose seedlings can be done when the leaves on the branches turn green, as only green leaves can photosynthesize and produce nutrients.
Pinching off the buds can involve just removing the flower buds or slightly cutting back some branches to control height, and cutting back can also make the branches thicker and stronger.
After talking about the handling of flower buds in young Chinese rose seedlings, a question arises:
Should we thin out the flower buds on each branch of a potted Chinese rose? Many people say to thin them, how should it be done?
