How to grow miniature roses

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Miniature roses like warmth, and the most suitable temperature is 15 to 26 degrees. However, try to keep the temperature a little lower at night, preferably between ten and fifteen degrees. When the surrounding environment is below five degrees, it will go dormant and needs to be adjusted in winter. In addition, the temperature should not exceed 35 degrees in summer, otherwise it will affect flowering.

2. Light: Miniature rose is a light-loving plant. It can only bloom better if it is provided with sufficient sunshine time. However, when the temperature is very high, in order to ensure its safety, it should not be placed in a place with too strong sunlight, especially direct light.

3. Watering: Miniature rose likes moisture, but it is also afraid of stagnant water. It needs more water during the growth and flowering period and needs to be kept moist. In addition, you need to spray some water appropriately in hot seasons. Don't water too much in winter.

4. Fertilization: It has certain requirements for fertilizers. Base fertilizer is more important, and top dressing can be applied once every two weeks. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are more important during the flowering period. However, considering that its size is not too large, the amount of fertilizer should not be too much.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Cutting method can be used. It is usually carried out in early spring or late autumn. Choose mature, strong branches with three or four buds as materials. Young branches can also be used, but the requirements for the environment will be more stringent. After cuttings, they need to be shaded and kept moist. Generally speaking, the survival rate is 70 to 80 percent, and roots will take shape after 30 days.

2. Pruning: After flowering, be sure to cut off the dried buds. After the flowers have bloomed, it is best to carry out comprehensive pruning, but the degree should not be too large. Just cut off all unsuitable branches.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: Generally speaking, diseases are more common in summer, such as "anthracnose" and "leaf blight", etc. You can just spray pesticides in a targeted manner.

2. Pests: There are many types of pests. If there are "thorny moths", you can use dichlorvos. There are also "Cinnabar spider mites", which can be hunted and killed by taking advantage of their phototaxis. There are also "heart borers", which can also be treated with insecticides.
