Third, how to maintain roses in order to blossom?

1. Enhance the light to promote flowering

The rose is a sunny plant, it likes to grow in places with plenty of light, the rose synthesizes nutrients quickly under photosynthesis, the leaves of the rose are greener and the petals are more bright, so it is necessary to ensure that the rose has sufficient light and about 8 hours of light every day. because the flowering time of roses is short, pay attention to avoid strong light when illuminating.

2. Correct watering method

Roses like dry environment, not resistant to moisture, the growth of roses do not have a high demand for water, especially in the long-term rose peanuts, we must pay attention to control watering, which can promote flowering, too much water can make the rose root system can not breathe normally, easily lead to waterlogging.
