What to do if the climbing rose is hardened and not repotted (How to repot the climbing rose that has already climbed)

Potted flowers can easily cause soil compaction, which is caused by many reasons and can cause considerable harm to plant growth.

Based on my many years of maintenance experience and the situations I have encountered with soil compaction, I will tell you how to reduce and alleviate the phenomenon of soil compaction. I hope the following content will be useful to you.

1. Causes of soil compaction

Generally there are the following types:

1. The medium soil ratio is too high and the soil is very sticky.

2. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers, or long-term use of a single chemical fertilizer.

3. Frequent watering and rain cause a crust to form on the surface of the soil.

4. The organic matter content is low, resulting in poor structure and few microorganisms, which leads to soil compaction.

2. The harm of soil compaction

Soil compaction can easily cause hypoxia in the roots of potted flowers, leading to a decrease in root vitality, thereby reducing the plant's absorption of nutrients, affecting the normal growth of the plant, and also causing small amounts of rose flowers, no flowering, and in severe cases, death.

Therefore, preventing and controlling soil compaction is of great significance in agricultural production or flower planting.

Knowing the causes and hazards of soil compaction, it will be much easier to prevent or reduce soil compaction.

3. How to prevent potting soil from becoming compacted

1. Never use pure garden soil for planting. We can mix some leaf mold, coarse and fine coconut coir or peat soil to increase its air permeability and reduce the stickiness of the soil.

2. Reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers, do not reuse a single inorganic fertilizer, increase the application of organic fertilizers, improve soil structure, replenish soil fertility, enhance soil fertilizer retention and air permeability, thereby effectively preventing soil compaction.

3. Apply more fertilizers containing microorganisms, use microorganisms to decompose phosphates in the soil, and restore the soil aggregate structure.

4. Do not overwater, especially for potted plants. For roses, do not water unless the soil is dry, and water thoroughly if the soil is dry. After watering, loosen the soil with a shovel when the soil surface is dry to reduce soil compaction.

[Summary] How to remedy soil compaction without repotting? If it is in autumn and winter, it is recommended to repot and change soil. The soil must be loose and breathable, and the pot must have good water permeability. In spring and summer, you don't need to repot first. You can loosen the soil regularly to increase soil organic matter, thereby slowly improving the soil structure.
