What kind of soil is used for rose culture in the desert?

I. Soil

The soil for cultivating desert roses should have good air permeability and drainage performance. Can be cultivated with river sand, if the porosity is not enough, you can add ceramsite to increase the porosity, so that the configuration of the soil can be cultivated plants.

II. Increase nutrients

Desert roses do not need fertilizer during the dormant period. The nutrients in the soil can meet its needs. However, during its growth period and flowering period, the nutrients in the soil alone cannot meet the needs of desert roses. These two special periods require fertilizer to be added to it.

Desert rose root system is fragile, if the application is thick fertilizer or raw fertilizer, it is easy to appear root burning situation, drought-resistant plants if root burning, it is difficult to deal with, try to avoid. Therefore, when applying fertilizer, it is necessary to apply fertilizer with small irritation and sufficient nutrients. For example, animal feces can be, animal feces easy to decompose, good absorption, very suitable for it. However, many animal droppings have parasites, even if it is disinfected animal droppings, after fertilization should also wash hands disinfection, to avoid infection.

III. Precautions

When fertilizing, it is best to leave a distance from the roots, about five centimeters to ten centimeters. When watering, pour water on the fertilizer and let the water carry the nutrients in the fertilizer into the soil. This will have less stimulation to the roots of the plants and can protect the roots from being burned to the maximum extent.
