How to take care of newly bought roses

1. How to deal with newly bought roses

When you first buy roses, you can first check whether its roots are rotten and whether there are dead flowers and leaves on the plant. If so, they should be cut off in time. Then soak it in clean water for half an hour. After it has drunk enough water, disinfect all the cut ends with disinfectant solution. Then place it in a well-ventilated place to dry to prevent it from being infected by bacteria. Then you can put it in the pot.

2. How to grow newly bought roses

1. Soil: Generally speaking, there is no need to change the soil of newly purchased roses. If the soil used by the merchant is of poor quality, has poor drainage or too low fertility, which is not conducive to its normal growth, it will be necessary to replace it with new soil that is loose, fertile and well-drained. It should be noted that in order to avoid infection, the new soil needs to be exposed to the sun for disinfection before being potted.

2. Temperature: It will not start growing immediately after it is bought because it needs some time to adapt to the new growing environment. At this time, it is very afraid of strong stimulation from the external environment. Therefore, it is best to provide it with a well-ventilated growth environment at around 20℃, which can help it adapt to the new environment faster.

3. Watering: After you buy it, it has not started to grow normally, so you cannot water it too frequently. It is best to water it appropriately and keep the soil slightly moist. After it resumes normal growth, water it according to the principle of "don't water unless it's dry, and water it thoroughly when you do".

4. Light: When you first buy it, since it has not yet adapted to the new environment, you need to place it in a place with scattered light for maintenance. Do not place it directly in direct sunlight to prevent the flowers and leaves from being burned. After it slowly resumes normal growth, you can gradually give it sufficient light.

5. Fertilization: No fertilizer is needed when you first buy it. Because it is still in the potting stage, fertilizing it can easily cause root burn. Wait for a while and let it adapt to the new environment before fertilizing it. What you need to pay attention to when applying fertilizer is to avoid applying concentrated fertilizer and instead apply light fertilizer.
