In previous articles on common problems of Chinese roses, many kinds of abnormal situations of Chinese roses have been shared, but in the process of raising Chinese roses, there will always be various problems. Today, let's talk about a common but puzzling problem:
The leaves of Chinese roses are burnt and withered, but still maintain green. What's going on?
This is a question consulted by a flower friend in private. Similarly, someone in the reader group has encountered this problem. What exactly is the reason?
Let's analyze it in detail below.
The reason why the leaves are still green but wither due to water loss:
This situation mostly occurs when the pot is just changed or when watered too much.
For flowers that have just been repotted, the roots usually suffer some damage. If the temperature is relatively high, the plant's transpiration is fast, and the root system's ability to absorb water is insufficient, which can easily lead to water shortage and baking phenomenon.
There is also a reason due to the lack of breathability of the pot soil. After watering, it will not dry for a long time, and the pot soil will always be in a relatively humid state. In this case, combined with high temperature, it is very easy to cause root suffocation, that is, the plant's root system cannot breathe, which leads to the phenomenon that although the leaves are green, they wither.
Notice: Many flower friends use general nutrient soil to plant Chinese roses. It is recommended that you would rather make your own soil than use pure general soil, which is very prone to root suffocation.
However, for this situation, there is no need to worry too much. Usually, if the leaves are still green but look like burnt withered leaves, they can be saved.
Many times, it is a choice made by the Chinese rose for self-protection, giving up some leaves to maintain life.
Countermeasures:
If it is due to the pot just changed or bare-rooted potting, no special treatment is needed. Just continue to let the Chinese rose bask in the sun, and pay attention to less watering, trying to keep the pot soil slightly dry. Because the leaves have already withered, the transpiration is weakened, and the consumption of water is less. If watered too much, it is prone to root rot.
If this situation occurs due to excessive watering, the Chinese rose should be removed from the pot and placed in a ventilated place to allow the moisture in the pot soil to dissipate as soon as possible.
In the process of raising Chinese roses, there will definitely be various problems. In fact, there is no need to panic as long as you find the problem and solve it smoothly.
