How to water potted roses? Can I use a sprayer?

1. Watering method

The root system of potted roses is relatively shallow, and they are afraid of both drought and waterlogging. When caring for and watering them, it is best to adopt the principle of not watering unless the soil is dry, and watering thoroughly when watering. The specific frequency of watering should be determined according to the actual climate. Water every other day in the dry season. If it is the rainy season, the humidity is high and the watering frequency should be reduced appropriately. Drainage should also be done well to avoid water accumulation.

In addition, it also depends on the growth conditions. If more water is needed in the early stage of growth, it is generally watered once every two days. A slightly moist soil is more conducive to growth. However, you should reduce watering before and after the flowering period, and water it when the soil in the pot is dry. This will be more conducive to flowering.

2. Is it possible to spray water?

Try not to water potted roses by spraying them, because the sprayed water will remain on the leaves or petals, and the ventilation of potted plants is usually not very good, so the water is difficult to evaporate, which will cause the leaves to turn yellow over time and affect their appearance. But if it is planted in the ground, you can spray water to cool it down, and the water will evaporate quickly.
