Plant care
Rose Mix is a rather delicate plant that needs good care. Otherwise, you will not be able to fully enjoy the beauty of this flower.
Watering rules, humidity
Rose Mix, like all other roses, is in great need of watering and high humidity. In the summer, watering is necessary as often as required, without allowing the soil to dry out. In winter, watering should be moderate (about once every 2-3 days, depending on the temperature and humidity in the room).
The optimum temperature for keeping in the summer is 20-23 ° С, in winter it is not less than 15 ° С. It is necessary to regularly ventilate the room, but it is forbidden to leave the flower in drafts.
Top dressing and soil quality
A flowering plant is especially in need of feeding. With a lack of nutrients in the soil, the plant will grow poorly and bloom less often and less abundantly. Just like a lack of nutrients, too much is harmful, as it leads to the growth of lush foliage in the absence of flowering. Saltpeter or superphosphate is recommended for late summer after flowering. Complex fertilizers are used in spring, applied every two weeks.
Pruning and replanting
Pruning the Rose Mix is done as needed when the leaves and buds start to turn yellow. To form a bush, the procedure will need to be carried out more often. It is recommended in early spring to remove all weak shoots, leaving about five of the strongest branches. It is better to cut off yellowed buds with a part of the stem 4 cm long. In the fall, it is necessary to shorten the branches.
Features of wintering a flower
Winter changes the care of the rose. The transfusion of the flower should not be allowed, otherwise decay will occur. It is also important to avoid a sharp drop in temperature. Since Rose Mix does not tolerate dry air, it is recommended to find a place for it away from heating appliances.
Blooming rose
During the flowering period, Rose Mix will not leave indifferent even those who do not show any interest in these flowers.
A period of activity and rest
Rose Mix is active in spring. She begins to release new buds, awakening from the winter rest. It is necessary to gradually increase watering and fertilize with universal fertilizing, following the instructions. Closer to winter, the rose begins to prepare for rest.
Care during and after flowering
For a blooming rose, as well as after flowering, it is important to provide enough space in a room with the required level of humidity and a comfortable temperature. Strictly monitor the watering regime and control pest infestation.
What to do if it does not bloom
First of all, you need to analyze the conditions of detention (illumination, temperature, humidity, watering, etc.). Perhaps this beauty needs a transplant or fertilization. It is also possible, on the contrary, to overflow with fertilizers, from which the Mix rose began to give abundant greenery.
Flower propagation
This flower can be propagated in two ways: by grafting a shoot or forming a stalk.
When is it produced
Cuttings can be cut at any time, but it will be optimal to do this in late spring - early summer. Everyone should have a bud, flower, or bud.
Detailed description
The stalk must be placed in a container with water, after a while it will give roots. After that, it is rooted in moist and loose soil. It requires high humidity and a lot of light without direct sunlight. It is also possible to root immediately in the ground, observing the same conditions.
Diseases, pests and ways to control them
The most common pest of the Mix rose is the spider mite. The leaves of the rose will begin to turn yellow and wither, and red, orange or yellow moving dots can be seen on them, as well as on the pot and windowsill. A thin cobweb will also be visible, which will indicate the appearance of these pests. Spider mites cannot stand high humidity, so regular spraying, a warm shower and humidification of the room will help to reduce its number. Insecticides, for example, actellic, will help to completely get rid of it.
Spider mite
Powdery mildew is also common, appearing when the flower is kept at low temperatures. This disease can be determined by the white bloom on the stems and leaves. It is necessary to rinse the whole plant from it and spray it with a solution of soda every day for a week, using 2 teaspoons per 1 liter of water.
Despite certain features in caring for a Mix rose, they are quite easy to follow, and then this beauty will delight with her buds for a long time.
