Methods to save rose buds from drooping after transplanting (what to do if the rose buds you bought droop)

I have also encountered the situation of roses drooping. I hope my answer can help you and more rose enthusiasts and growers.

There are generally several reasons why the roses you dug up droop their heads, and different methods should be used according to different reasons .

1. Seedling Planting Stage

Since the poster had just dug the rose up, the root system would be more or less damaged. It is normal for the rose to droop within a few days after planting.

Because the root system's ability to absorb water is relatively weak at this time and it has not yet adapted to the soil, this stage is called the seedling stage. At this time, if it is a potted plant, it should be placed in a place with scattered light for maintenance, and shade measures should be taken for ground plants. Generally, normal growth will resume in about a week.

2. There are generally the following situations when the head drops during the normal growth stage

1. Waterlogging and root rot

At this time, many flower lovers tend to make a mistake, thinking that the wilting of roses means lack of water, so they frequently water the pots, causing the soil in the pots to remain moist for a long time. The rose roots cannot breathe properly and become rotten, causing the roses to droop.

Another problem is that the potting soil has poor water permeability and air permeability. The soil is sticky and has few gaps. The accumulated water leads to insufficient air in the soil, which causes the roots to rot and the flower buds to droop.

At this time, reduce the frequency of watering, or use a small wooden stick to poke a few holes around the potting soil to increase water permeability and air permeability, thereby alleviating the root rot phenomenon.

2. Lack of water causes the plant to droop and wilt

First, let's make sure the soil in the pot is dry. How to judge whether the soil in the pot is dry is very simple. You can feel the weight of the potted plant. If it is very light, it means it is lacking water. You can also insert disposable chopsticks into the pot for five minutes and take them out.

If there is no watermark, it means that the plant is lacking water. There are many ways to judge water shortage. You can do whatever is convenient. If it is planted in the ground, it is also simple. Use a hoe to dig down about 20 centimeters. If there is a watermark, the color of the soil will be dark . If it is judged that the plant is lacking water, water it thoroughly at this time .

3. Stem bees

In spring, because the branches are relatively tender, stem bees like to lay eggs on the tender branches of roses. To determine whether the rose has been pierced by stem bees, you can see whether there are small black holes under the tender branches.

If the branches are pierced by poles and eggs are laid to a large extent, we should cut off the wilted branches at this time, which will not have much impact on the growth of roses.

So how do we prevent and control stem bees? In fact, it is relatively difficult because stem bees fly back and forth and do not eat rose leaves. We can hang some small yellow boards and fly traps to effectively reduce the probability of being stung.

4. Dispirited during the day and back to normal at night

Generally, this situation occurs when there is some problem with the root system. When the sun is strong during the day, we need to provide shade for about a week.

Once new roots grow out and the root system is well maintained, the wilting phenomenon will naturally ease. This usually happens during the seedling acclimatization stage. If the plant has not recovered after being planted for a while, you should consider the potting soil factor.

The above is my analysis of the reasons why roses droop, as well as how to solve and deal with the problem. I would like to share my experience with flower lovers and hope it will be useful to you.
