Rose plant care: A rose plant planted in the balcony, terrace or small home garden gives peace to everyone. When colorful flowers appear on it, the whole atmosphere changes. But sometimes it happens that the plant gradually looks weak, the leaves turn yellow and the buds stop forming. In such a situation, people cannot understand where the error occurs. You water it properly and expose it to sunlight, but why does the plant dry out? If there is a rose in your house and it spoils again and again, do not panic. Often the problem arises from a lack of nutrition in the soil. If the plant does not get proper nutrition from time to time, the roots become weak and the top part also starts drying out.
The good thing is that the solution can be found in your kitchen or somewhere nearby. A simple thing that people often ignore can make your roses green and full of flowers again. This thing is mustard cake. This is an excellent homemade fertilizer and is nothing less than a blessing for your rose plant. When used correctly, it strengthens the roots of the plant, helps new branches appear, and increases the number of flowers.
Why is mustard cake good for roses?
Essential elements like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are found in mustard cake. These elements strengthen plant growth, leaf greening, and flower formation. When you put them in the soil correctly, the roots spread faster and are better able to get nutrition from the soil.
Mustard cake also increases the plant’s immunity. This reduces the risk of insects and fungi. It is especially effective in plants that constantly dry out.
How to make liquid fertilizer from mustard cake?
Instead of adding mustard cake directly to the soil, it is better to make a liquid fertilizer and add it.
The method is as follows:
1. Take about 100 grams of mustard cake.
2. Put it in 1 liter of water and leave it covered for two days.
3. This solution will be ready after two days.
4. Now filter it.
5. Pour about 1 cup of the solution near the roots of each rose plant.
Note- Keep in mind to apply this fertilizer only once a month. Giving it in large amounts or too frequently may damage the roots.
By using this solution regularly, you will notice the difference within a few weeks. The leaves will be green, new shoots will appear and buds will form quickly.
What can you add to roses?
Apart from mustard cake, there are some other things that speed up the growth of roses.
1. Vermicompost
Vermicompost improves soil health. Gently nourishes the plant and strengthens the roots.
2. Epsom salt
Epsom salt contains magnesium, which makes the leaves darker and improves the quality of the flowers.
3. Jim
The enzyme increases the number of good microorganisms in the soil and accelerates plant growth.
How to use
Mix these three in small quantities and apply it around the rose roots. First loosen the soil a little, then spread the mixture and pour water over it. This process once a month is sufficient.
Some easy tips to keep your roses healthy
Get at least 4-5 hours of sunlight every day. Don’t water too much. Remove dry leaves and wilted flowers in time.
Give a light fertilizer every 25-30 days. With these easy measures, your rose will continue to bloom for a long time and the problem of frequent dryness will disappear.
