What kind of fertilizer is good for rose base fertilizer (base fertilizer application method)

Effect of rose base fertilizer

Applying base fertilizer to roses is a very important task, because roses are more fond of fertilizer and need nutrients to grow well during their growth process, and base fertilizer provides them with sufficient nutrients.

Generally speaking, when planting roses or changing pots and soil, base fertilizer needs to be added. Mix it with the soil when potting to provide a steady supply of nutrients for the roses' later growth.

Selection of rose fertilizer

Generally speaking, it is better to use long-acting fertilizers as base fertilizer for roses. For example, fermented organic fertilizers and controlled-release fertilizers have a fertilizer effect period of several months or even a year, and are very suitable as base fertilizers. Quick-acting fertilizers will generally become ineffective within half a month and are not suitable as base fertilizers.

When repotting roses in spring, you can use decomposed sheep manure and Aolv slow-release fertilizer as the base fertilizer. The amount of fertilizer should be applied according to the size of the pot. Be careful not to touch the roots of the plant to avoid burning the roots.

How to apply base fertilizer for roses

Generally, when planting roses, first add a little controlled-release fertilizer or fermented organic fertilizer to the bottom of the pot, mix it with the bottom soil, then add a layer of plain soil, and then plant the seedlings.

How much base fertilizer should be added to roses

It is best to dilute rose fertilizer with water before use. The saying "apply small amounts multiple times and apply thin fertilizer frequently" does not mean that you should use less, but that you should dilute it with water before use.

How to apply base fertilizer to rose

1. Roses usually grow vigorously in spring, so sufficient fertilizer and balanced nutrition are required. You can apply some organic fertilizer appropriately, once every 10 days or so.

2. In addition, apply a thin layer of fertilizer every ten days before the rose blooms. You can use bean cake fertilizer or poultry manure to make the plant grow more luxuriantly.

3. When the temperature is low in winter, the rose will temporarily enter a dormant period. During this period, basal fertilizer needs to be applied to prepare for its growth in the second year.
