Originally, this article was supposed to meet with you yesterday, only blaming the blue demon for being a person with poor self-control. On a whim, he chased the show until 2: 00 in the morning, but the whole person was useless.

Today the blue demon is going to talk about the blind bud of the rose. Look at the problems encountered by this flower friend:

Do you have the same problem? The blue demon has received advice on similar questions, and there are no less than 10 people, so the blue demon feels it is necessary to popularize the knowledge about the blind bud of rose.

What is the blind bud of rose?

First of all, let's get to know Blind Shoots of next month. The blue demon has said before that the rose blossoms at the top of the new branch, which does not grow buds at the top of the new branch, and produces blind buds when it stops growing.

The picture above shows the blind bud of the rose, and you can see that the top has stopped growing. Such branches will not produce buds and bloom.

Why does rose sprout blindly? How to deal with it? So why does rose sprout blindly? In the final analysis, it is because of malnutrition, but there are many causes of malnutrition.

1. Lack of fertilizer

The growth rate of rose is very fast, if you do not fertilize rose for a long time, it is easy to blind branches due to lack of fertilizer.

In the picture above, the new branches of the rose grow longer, but there are no buds, which are mostly caused by lack of fertilizer.

How to handle it:

Cut the blind branches lightly to promote the emergence of new branches and strengthen the management of water and fertilizer at the same time.

2. Lack of light

Rose is a sunny flower, if the light is not enough, it will also lead to the phenomenon that the long branches of rose do not bloom. In breeding rose should ensure sufficient light, in theory, not less than 4 hours of direct light a day.

3. Lack of pruning

Lack of pruning is also the main reason for the blind bud of rose. At the beginning of the article, the flower friend's rose appeared a large number of blind buds, which was obviously caused by the lack of pruning.

The growth of the old rose branches is relatively poor, multiple bud points germinate at the same time, coupled with fertilizer and water is not particularly sufficient, it is easy to cause, bud points sprout together, but do not grow up.

Treatment: for such a large number of blind buds due to the lack of pruning, if there are no forced new branches, all the old branches are blind buds, then do not prune blindly.

Because the blind bud is almost a few leaves, there is no length at all, just pruning the blind bud is tantamount to pruning the leaves, but if the whole branch is cut off, once it is not well managed, it will easily lead to the death of the rose.

The right thing to do should be:

First of all, strengthen the management of water and fertilizer and apply more fertilizer. Then press the branches of the rose as flat as possible, do not let it stand upright, the main purpose is to let the rose sprout stronger bamboo shoots from the basic.

When the bamboo shoots grow well, the old branches of the blind branches can be cut back to a reasonable height.

4. Root system difference

There is also a kind of rose that looks OK on the surface, but the root system is relatively poor, which is more common in the flower market. As we all know, there are a lot of hormones in all kinds of plants, so you still have to keep your eyes open when buying flowers.

For this kind of rose with poor root system, we can only cut the blind branches lightly, retain more leaves, and change the rose into a smaller flowerpot for maintenance to promote the development of roots.
