How to grow Louis XIV roses

1. Choice of soil and pot

We all know that the roots of flowers are in the soil, so before planting it, you must carefully select the soil. Never choose the very hard soil. It would be strange if roses can survive in such soil.

For its planting, it is best not to use clay. Any other soil can be used as long as it is loose and breathable. In addition, attention should be paid to the water retention capacity of the soil. If the water retention capacity is too strong, it is not recommended to use it. As for the nutritional level of the soil, it is better to be moderate.

Speaking of flower pots, for beginners, the best flower pots for growing Louis XIV are earthen pots. Plastic pots are slightly inferior to earthen pots, and ceramic pots are not recommended.

2. How to plant

If you choose to transplant seedlings, you must pay attention to controlling the depth of the seedling roots immersed in the soil when planting the seedlings. It is generally recommended to control it at a relatively shallow depth so that the young plants can get sufficient air and prevent the seedlings from being suffocated in the soil before they have fully grown.

If you choose to sow seeds, you need to pay attention to pre-treating the seeds first. Soak the seeds in warm water for a period of time to allow it to fully absorb water, and then sow them evenly in the flowerpots. After sowing, cover the seeds with a layer of soil. The thickness of the soil should be controlled within 5CM.

3. How to maintain in the early stage

Be careful when watering for the first time after planting. Give the seedlings enough water and soak the soil with enough water until you see water drops leaking from the bottom of the pot.

It is best not to keep the early seedlings under the sun all the time. If it is summer, a few hours in the morning and evening will be enough. After that, water the seedlings according to the actual situation. Water them when you see the soil is dry. Do not water them too much. As for fertilizing, you need to wait until the seedlings are mature.
