How capricious is a Chinese rose - can one keep houses
"Mom, Mom, look, what a beautiful flower!" - exclaimed my son, pointing his finger at the huge bush standing at the window in the clinic. "Yes, my dear, he is called a Chinese rose," I replied.
What does this beauty need to be happy?
On the street in our climate does not grow a Chinese rose. Is it possible to keep this magnificent flower at home? Of course, you can, because it is beautifully growing indoors, without causing unnecessary trouble. With proper care. "And what is he, this correct withdrawal?" - you ask. Now about this and find out.
A pot for a Chinese beauty
The most optimal version of the hibiscus potsuch, in which from the root system to the edge of the container would remain another 3-5 centimeters. It can be plastic, maybe ceramic - to your taste. For the rooted cuttings of the Chinese rose in the first stage, a half-liter pot or glass is enough. Over time, after about 2-3 years, the plant can be transferred to another pot - more. A flower should be transplanted, not transplanted. The fact is that this beauty is very sensitive to its root system, and it is better not to touch its roots once again, that is, not to shake out old land from them, and especially not to wash. Otherwise, you can lose hibiscus. He will not die at once, but gradually, losing the leaf behind the leaf.
By the way, the issue of pot selection is importantvalue for flowering hibiscus. Many complain that the Chinese rose does not bloom. I also had this problem until I was prompted that it would not bloom until the root does not occupy the entire volume of land in which it grows. And how to determine that it's time to transplant a plant? It's quite simple - when you start to water your beauty every day because of the fact that the leaves wilt, then it's already necessary to transplant it into a bigger pot.
The most "tasty" land for the Chinese rose
Chinese rose (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis)grows great in a mixture of chernozem with sand in a proportion of 2: 1 or purchased soil based on peat for flowering plants. The Chinese rose loves fertilized soil, yellow leaves sometimes turn yellow because of a shortage of trace elements. it
In addition, approximately 1.5 months afterplanting your beauty in a new soil, the mineral resources in it are depleted, and it is necessary to feed the Chinese rose once every 2-3 weeks with a complex organo-mineral fertilizer for flowering plants. This is the second rule (along with the rule of a small pot), necessary to see flowers on your tree.
Secrets of caring for the Chinese princess
Although the Chinese rose is unpretentious, cankeep a plant at home, which eventually turns into a real tree? Even if you have little room for a fairly large bush, which eventually turns hibiscus, you can get out of the situation. First, in February, one third of the shoots can be cut off. Pruning, along with pot size and regular top dressing, is the third rule for obtaining flowers on this plant. The Chinese rose willingly gives buds on new shoots. On the old, it will also bloom, but less luxuriantly.
Another secret known by the professionalgardeners, - the use of hormones, stopping plant growth. In our country this drug is called "Athlete". It contains retardants, making the flower stocky and low. But with this drug you need to be cautious - if you overdo and pour more than the recommended rate, over time the plant will lose all its large leaves, and the new ones will be small and not very attractive. Although it will not cease to bloom.
