What soil should be used for roses

1. What soil to use

Roses have a strong adaptability and do not have too many requirements for loam. Generally, they require a soft and loose texture, not compacted and heavy, and have strong drainage capabilities to facilitate air permeability. Because they bloom in large quantities, they also need to be fertile and nutritious. Garden soil must be fertile and nutritious. Vermiculite and perlite are used to increase drainage, while peat soil and wood ash are used to increase the looseness. These can be mixed together and a little organic fertilizer can be added to increase the nutrient content of the soil.

2. Soil preparation plan

1. Mix garden soil, compost and perlite in a ratio of 6:3:1, which can meet the growth needs of the plants at the same time.

2. Pond mud contains a large amount of nutrients and is not dry. You can select garden soil, pond mud and compost and mix them together in a ratio of 6:3:1. However, if there is no pond around, pond mud is difficult to find. If the conditions are not met, you can change to other soil preparation plans.

3. When the raw materials are relatively complete, you can mix river sand, sawdust, garden soil, and rice husks in proportion, and add compost to ensure nutrition. Chemically treated rice husks are also uncommon and can be replaced by other materials.
