Attention Points for Transplanting Chinese Roses
The article provides related experiences on the transplantation of Chinese roses. The editor will introduce the topic to netizens.
Recently, the temperature has dropped a bit, and our friends are also getting ready to revitalize their balconies and gardens. If you find the potted plants unattractive and want to transfer them to ground planting, or if the ground plants are in an unsuitable location and you want to move them, then is it the right time for transplantation or potting? Many gardening enthusiasts have been asking such questions recently, so I am making a special feature today to address these doubts and questions.
For transplantation or repotting, we need to look at the specific situation. Different situations require different handling methods, which can be summarized into the following three transplantation scenarios.
1. Transferring Potted Plants to Ground Plants/Repotting to a Larger Pot
Firstly, let's talk about the situation of transferring potted plants to ground plants. This is the simplest and easiest type of transplantation to survive. It can be said that as long as the method is proper, transplantation can be done in all seasons, and the survival rate is very good.
Transplantation Method
The roots of the potted plants are confined within the pot, so the roots wrap the soil tightly. Before repotting, slightly reduce watering to make the potting soil a little dry, which allows you to easily remove the Chinese rose seedlings along with the intact soil clump from the pot.
Attention Points for Transplanting Chinese Roses
After removing the pot, we try to keep the integrity of the original soil clump and then transplant it into the ground or a larger pot. This type of transplantation causes minimal damage to the Chinese rose's root system, and there is no need to worry about the survival rate or to prune the seedlings intentionally.
Many gardening enthusiasts are纠结 about whether to apply base fertilizer for ground-planted Chinese roses. Of course, it can make the plants grow more vigorously, but if you are not very familiar with the use of base fertilizer, Green Enthusiast Network suggests not using it to avoid fertilizer damage. If you want to learn about the selection and usage of base fertilizer, you can read the book "How to Grow Chinese Roses from Scratch" written by Green Enthusiast Network, which provides detailed information on fertilization and common fertilizers.
2. Transferring Ground Plants to Pots/Changing Locations
Potted plants can be transferred to ground plants throughout the year, but if you are transferring ground plants to pots or changing locations, you need to choose the right time.
The situation with ground plants is that when you dig up the seedlings, the soil clump is usually loose. If the soil is not very good, it may come out bare-rooted. Therefore, the condition of the soil clump after digging is unpredictable.
