Personal Experience with Top-dressing for Chinese Roses
Article Abstract: This article discusses the content related to roses, focusing on personal experience with top-dressing for Chinese roses. Let's delve into the topic together.
Top-dressing for Chinese roses is an important task. In people's daily thinking habits, it is common to apply top-dressings after a round of blooming, which means top-dressing after the roses have bloomed. This approach is not necessarily wrong, but it is not the best solution. The optimal approach is to apply top-dressings every 7 to 10 days. After the beginning of summer according to the lunar calendar, when temperatures rise, the amount of fertilizer can be reduced or applied slowly. After the summer solstice, when temperatures are too high, fertilizing can be stopped. After the beginning of winter according to the lunar calendar, when temperatures drop, plants enter a state of defoliation and dormancy, and the amount of fertilizer can be reduced or applied slowly. After the winter solstice, when temperatures are too low, fertilizing can be stopped. During this period, it is usually time to repot, prune, and apply sufficient bottom fertilizers in anticipation of spring.
The simplest method of top-dressing is to dilute compound fertilizer in water. It is also a good choice to buy ready-made specialized fertilizers. The price of compound fertilizer is about 3 to 4 yuan per pound, and one pound can last a very long time. Some decomposed fertilizers are not ineffective, but their preparation and use require certain conditions. Some are just for fun by experts, who talk about them without practical experience.
The principle of fertilizing must be remembered: apply thin fertilizers frequently, apply thin fertilizers frequently, apply thin fertilizers frequently. Otherwise, it can lead to burned seedlings and fertilizer damage, which are very difficult to deal with. How much compound fertilizer diluted in water is appropriate? Experienced farmers usually mix 1 to 2 small handfuls with one bucket of water, about 20 pounds. For professional fertilizer for flowers, please follow the instructions on the label. If you notice that the roses are growing very vigorously, you can temporarily stop applying top-dressings. The demand for fertilizer by rose plants is relative.
Our experienced farmers treat growing roses like growing vegetables, applying large amounts of nitrogenous fertilizer and ample rainfall, which can cause leaves to grow excessively in early spring. If this happens to melons, they will produce very few fruits. If it happens to rice, it can delay maturity, increase empty shells, or even result in no harvest at all. If it happens to roses, the flowers may be large but the number of flowers will be few and branching will be poor. Therefore, please remember the principles and dosage of top-dressing application. The experienced farmers say: "Eat meals one bite at a time; a big bite won't make you fat and might even choke you to death."
Chinese roses are very common ornamental flowering plants, and it is simple and easy to keep them alive. To grow them well depends on regular care. Remember, under the conditions of sufficient sunlight and ventilation: organic humus soil + ample fertilization and watering + frequent application of pesticides + proper pruning = a blooming pot.
