Plant Christmas Rose - this is how to do it!
The Christmas rose is not only easy to care for - it can also be easily planted in a bed or a tub. What you should consider when planting the plant, also known as snow-rose or Christmas rose.
When is the best time to plant the snow rose?
Experts recommend autumn as the best time to put a snow-rose in the garden. Then the roots have enough time to adapt to the new environment.
You may also plant the Christmas rose in spring. This is especially useful for snow roses, which you kept in the house over Christmas.
Alternatively, you can plant the Christmas rose in a bucket instead of in the bed and cultivate it on the terrace or balcony.
How to plant the Schneerose into the garden
The Christmas rose develops long roots. The planting hole should be at least twice as deep as the root ball is long.
Pierce the ground several times with the grave fork to loosen it. Fill in some mature compost. The Christmas rose does not need more fertilizer.
Christmas roses are only set so deep in the ground, that the upper roots are just covered with earth. Do not hit the ground so the earth does not compact.
Plant Christmas rose in the pot after flowering
The Christmas rose is very much kept in the pot for Christmas in the house. She is not a houseplant. After flowering, you should plant the snow-rose into the field.
Carefully accustom the Christmas rose in the pot to cooler temperatures. For this purpose, first put the pot outside by the hour and bring it back in, before it gets too cold outside.
The best time you can choose to plant the Christmas rose is a day when it is warm inside and out alike.
Tips & Tricks
Very important is a loose garden floor. With very compacted garden soil, it helps to provide the planting hole with a drainage layer. Even with very high groundwater levels, drainage is recommended.
