Can roses be hydroponic?
Rose is a deciduous shrub of Rosaceae, which can be cultivated in water. When cultured in water, it is easy to take root and grow, but the survival time is not long. There are more nutrients in the soil that are beneficial to its growth, so roses are more suitable for soil culture.
Methods and key points of rose hydroponics
1. Select a branch:
Choose a rose with normal growth and lush stems and leaves for pruning, cut off redundant leaves, trim the roots of the rose, and cut off the roots at a 45-degree angle to ensure that it can fully absorb nutrients in the water and take root more easily.
2. Selection of containers:
It is best to choose a transparent glass container to ensure that the rooting state of roses can be observed in the process of hydroponics and take corresponding measures in time.
3. Control water addition:
Just add water to the vessel, and pay attention to controlling the water temperature. When roses are cultivated in water, it is not advisable to use overheated or supercooled water.
Matters needing attention in raising roses in water
1. Change water in time:
In the early stage of rose hydroponics, try to change the water every day, and pay attention to washing off the mucus at the roots during the water change process to avoid bacteria breeding diseases and insect pests.
2. Reasonable pruning:
In the process of pruning, hydroponic roses can be cut off by three to five centimeters at the base to ensure that the roots are in water and the stems and leaves are in water, so as to prevent the leaves from being soaked and rotted, which will affect the development.
3. Pay attention to the light:
In the process of hydroponics, we should pay attention not to strong light, and moderate light can make roses grow roots faster.
