How to Rejuvenate an Old Rose Bush Without Expensive Drugs: The Baking Soda Method
Beginning gardeners have many misconceptions, which, let's be honest, are not alien to plant growers with many years of experience.
For example, it is believed that in order to rejuvenate an old rose bush, the help of expensive drugs is absolutely necessary.
In reality, this is not entirely true: of course, you can use store-bought products, which will probably cost you a pretty penny, but you can also use homemade compositions, which, importantly, are no less effective, but much cheaper.
So, to prepare a product designed to rejuvenate an old rose bush, you will need to dissolve 1 tablespoon of soda, 0.5 teaspoon of ammonia, 1 teaspoon of magnesium sulfate and the same amount of grated laundry soap in 5 liters of water.
Use the resulting composition to treat plantings.
For the procedure, it is better to choose the morning or evening hours of a cloudy and dry day.
Another important point: according to the recommendations of those farmers who use this method, when carrying out the treatment, the main thing is not to overdo it with the application of the composition. Otherwise, it may "come back to haunt you" with darkening of flowers and wilting of stems.
