What can you do to make your roses bloom beautifully? Just a little effort is enough. Experts suggest using homemade fertiliser to protect the plants from pests and encourage beautiful blooming.

How can you make the stems bend under the weight of the flowers? It turns out there's a simple trick to make roses grow rapidly. A mixture of baker's yeast can work wonders.

You only need to crumble a cube (100 grams) of baker's yeast and pour it into 10 litres of warm, but not hot, water. Mix the whole thing thoroughly and leave it for three days so that a natural fermentation process occurs.

After such time, the fertiliser will be ready to use. However, it should be diluted in a ratio of 1:5, so one litre of fertiliser to five litres of water. We water the roses with this preparation once every two weeks during the blooming period.

However, it's worth remembering that excessive watering with such a solution can lead to excessive root growth, so it's better not to overdo the dosing.

How to care for roses? Here's another tip

It turns out that roses will grow beautifully if you use castor oil. The oil protects the flowers from pests and strengthens the leaves and roots, encouraging blooming.

The oil also has regenerative properties, making it useful for wilted and tired plants.

To prepare the mixture, we need one teaspoon of castor oil per litre of water. Pour the ingredients into a bottle with a cap and shake vigorously. Water the roses with this solution once a month.
