How to Grow and Care for Heavenly Lotus Star Rose Seeds
-
Stratification of Seeds:
- To encourage germination, stratify the seeds by placing them in a damp paper towel inside a plastic bag and refrigerating them for 30-60 days. This mimics natural winter conditions and helps break seed dormancy.
-
Sowing the Seeds:
- After stratification, sow the seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix, planting them about 1/4 inch deep. Keep the soil moist but not soggy and place the tray in a warm, sunny location with temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C).
- Germination can take several weeks, so patience is key. Once seedlings appear, provide them with plenty of bright, indirect light.
-
Transplanting Outdoors:
- Once the seedlings are large enough to handle and after the danger of frost has passed, transplant them into your garden in a sunny, well-drained location. Space the plants about 18-24 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
-
Sunlight and Soil Requirements:
- The Heavenly Lotus Star Rose thrives in full sunlight and well-drained, fertile soil. The soil should be slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0-7.0). Ensure the location receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
-
Watering:
- Water deeply but infrequently to keep the soil moist. Avoid overhead watering, as wet leaves can lead to fungal diseases. Once established, this rose is drought-tolerant but will benefit from occasional deep watering during dry spells.
-
Fertilizing:
- Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as the plant begins to grow. You can also use a rose-specific fertilizer to encourage vibrant blooms throughout the growing season.
-
Pruning and Deadheading:
- Prune the roses in early spring to remove dead or damaged wood and to shape the plant. Regularly deadhead spent flowers to encourage new blooms and keep the plant tidy.
