Symptoms of rose roots being suffocated by excessive water (how to deal with rose roots being rotten by excessive water)

Recently, many of our flower lovers have found that rose potted plants are prone to suffocation. What is the reason for this? Today, Lan Yao will take stock of the reasons, and you can refer to them and find solutions.

Why are roses prone to root suffocation after summer?

Why is it that roses are not prone to root suffocation in spring, but are very likely to do so in summer?

This has a lot to do with the growth pattern of roses themselves. In spring, roses grow fast, have many leaves, consume a lot of water, and the temperature is not particularly high. As long as the pot soil is not waterlogged for a long time, it is generally not easy to suffocate the roots .

But after summer, the situation changes. First, we will prune after the first spring flowers. The rose potted plants that are well maintained will soon sprout new buds after pruning, ready to bloom for the second time.

However, if the rose potted plants are not well maintained or are weak in growth, they will go astray at this time.

1. Insufficient fertilizer and water will not produce new sprouts

If there is no timely topdressing after flowering, the rose plant will not have the motivation to sprout new buds, or the new buds will be very few. Because there are few branches and leaves, the transpiration is weak, and the water consumption at this time is actually relatively small.

However, the soil on the surface of the flowerpot is easily dried out by the sun. At this time, when our flower lovers see that the surface of the soil in the pot is dry, they think that the soil is dry and water it immediately. But in fact, the soil inside the pot is not dry, so it is easy to over-water.

Especially for rose potted plants grown on the balcony, if they are watered too much, the water will be lost very slowly. When exposed to the sun, it is easy to cause poor root respiration and suffocation due to the high temperature and humidity of the pot soil. Gradually, the new buds become weaker and the new leaves turn yellow .

The configuration of potting soil is also a very big influencing factor. The most feared thing is that the soil looks loose and breathable, but is actually hot and humid, and the soil on the surface looks very dry.

But the soil inside is still very moist. It is recommended to add at least 1/3 of particles to the soil for rose potting to increase air permeability .

2. Infection with red spider mites

After the first batch of spring flowers, it is the outbreak season of red spider mites. The climate this year is rather abnormal and the red spider mites are particularly serious. Once the rose is infected with red spider mites, its growth will be greatly affected and even the seedlings may become stunted.

After being infected by red spider mites, the leaves of the rose are damaged, the transpiration effect is reduced, and the dry-wet cycle of the potting soil will naturally be much slower. At this time, if the problem of the rose is not discovered in time, and it is still watered according to the method of vigorous growth, it is easy to cause excessive water to suffocate the roots.

3. Unified management of weak and strong seedlings

In fact, no matter how the seedling conditions change, as long as we adjust the management in time, we can ensure the healthy growth of the rose seedlings. The reason why so many root problems occur due to seasonal changes is inseparable from our unified management.

For flower lovers who grow a lot of potted flowers, they usually water and fertilize them uniformly.

For strong seedlings, unified management is not a big problem, but when our rose seedlings grow significantly weaker, we still water and fertilize them together with the strong big seedlings, which can easily cause the weak seedlings to become weaker and weaker. In fact, it is because of too much watering that the roots rot .

Therefore, if you want to take good care of every pot of flowers, you must treat them according to different situations. If there are many potted plants and personalized management is difficult, you can also put potted plants with similar seedling conditions together.

Put the strong ones together and the weak ones together, and manage them separately, which can also reduce the situation of root suffocation.

In fact, for rose novices, if you can cultivate according to the temperament of roses and grow a healthy seedling, you can save at least three times the time and energy than rescuing a seedling with dead roots.

【 Summarize 】

Some roses have roots that have rotted due to excessive water use. The veins of the old leaves are yellow and drooping, looking lifeless. The three branches are relatively tender and visibly wrinkled, and the three-gallon pots feel heavy.
