On the occasion of Tet, everyone wants their plants to bloom and show off their colors. It is believed that having a lot of flowers blooming at the beginning of the new year is auspicious, symbolizing the luck of the family. The more flowers, the more beautiful, the more abundant the blessings.
If you are growing roses and want them to bloom on Tet, don’t overlook the following tips.
In addition to watering the plants regularly, you need to pay attention to pruning.
In the Southern region, in order for the plants to bloom on Tet, they need to be pruned about 30 days beforehand. After pruning the leaves for about 4-7 days, the plants will start to sprout new shoots. Around 12-18 days later, the plants will bloom buds. The flowers will bloom in the next 22-28 days.
In the Northern region, this period will be extended by about 7-10 days.
How to prune rose plants
For bushy plants, prune 2-3 leaf buds; for climbing plants, prune 3-5 leaf buds (counting from the tip of the plant). For climbing plants, it is best to bend the stems down to encourage faster sprouting.
All dry, withered, diseased, ugly, lower branches, yellow/diseased leaves, buds, and old flowers should be pruned.
When pruning, make clean and precise cuts. Use sharp pruning shears to ensure clean cuts without crushing the branches. Pruning tools such as shears and shearing knives should be sharp and thoroughly cleaned before use. A 45-degree angled cut is best. Pruning should be done on dry, cool days. Do not prune branches when it is raining or sunny.
In addition, rose plants will bloom if they receive sufficient light intensity. You should place the plants in areas with the best sunlight. In cooler climates, pruning should be done earlier than in hot climates.
Nutrient supplementation for plants
About 3-4 days before pruning the rose plants, add 1-2 handfuls of Tricow compressed fertilizer, soybean compressed fertilizer, compost, worm castings, cow manure, chicken manure, etc., to the base of the plants to enhance their nutrition, help the plants grow stronger and sprout buds after pruning.
When the plants sprout, supplement them with Soymic twice a week to provide nutrients for sprouting. In addition, you can spray Green neem oil and Apy wood vinegar once a week to prevent diseases in the plants.
When the plants bloom, you can add Humic banana solution to make the flowers bigger and more beautiful.
You can find these fertilizers at agricultural supply stores or on various e-commerce platforms.
