Care Instructions
Rosa pendulina thrives in temperate climates with moderate temperatures. It requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth and should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out partially between waterings. The plant prefers moderate humidity levels and should be protected from extreme cold during its dormancy period.Soil
Rosa pendulina prefers well-draining loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil should be kept moderately moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot and other soil-borne diseases.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-5. Fertilize the plant in early spring and again in mid-summer to promote healthy growth and flowering. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.Repotting
Repot Rosa pendulina every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Repot in early spring before new growth begins.Propagation
Rosa pendulina can be propagated through cuttings or by layering. Take semi-hardwood cuttings in late summer or early autumn and root them in a well-draining soil mix. Alternatively, layer a low-growing branch in early spring and allow it to root before severing it from the parent plant.Pruning
Prune Rosa pendulina in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or diseased wood, and thin out crowded branches to improve air circulation. Pruning helps maintain the plant's shape and encourages healthy growth and flowering.Toxicity
Rosa pendulina is not toxic to pets or humans. However, the plant does have thorns, which can cause minor injuries if handled carelessly. It is advisable to wear gloves when pruning or handling the plant.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
