Many flower growers like to grow roses in pots on windowsills. It is worth knowing that this plant is picky in care and cultivation, but it needs to create the most comfortable conditions for abundant and regular flowering. How to do this, I will tell in this article.
I want to immediately note that indoor roses are not much different from garden roses in terms of care requirements. The main thing is to choose the right bush of compact size so that it fits on the windowsill. Like outdoor garden beauties, indoor roses have sharp thorns. And the buds can be odorless or exude a pleasant and clear aroma throughout the apartment.
Usually, flower growers grow Chinese as a home rose. It is distinguished by a variety of colors and long flowering. I suggest purchasing a Chinese rose from a nursery or flower shop in the following varieties:
- Patio. Differs in small height up to 50 cm, large size of buds.
- Kordan. It is characterized by a small bush height and small buds.
- Turbo. She has medium sized flowers.
Features of choosing a room rose
Having decided to buy a rose in a pot, give preference to trusted suppliers. When choosing it, I recommend paying attention to the appearance, and not to the bright flowering. All shoots and leaves of the plant should be elastic and green without signs of diseases and pests. The soil in the pot should be moist and free of mold or mildew.
Shop rose transplant
After buying a houseplant, I recommend always quarantine it so it doesn't infect the rest of the plants in the house. Then the flower should be transplanted into another soil. Just keep in mind that flowering plants are rarely transplanted, as they will simply stop blooming. They should be "relocated" only in the case of a small pot or too waterlogged soil.
When transplanting a plant, it is better to buy land in the same garden store. The pot must have holes for draining excess water. And don't forget good drainage at the bottom of the pot.
Roses are transplanted carefully so that their root system is not damaged. And so that she experiences less stress during transplantation and adapts faster in a new pot, I recommend treating her with a growth stimulator.
Ideal place for indoor flower
After buying a new houseplant, people are faced with the problem of where to put it. If we are talking about a room rose, then she prefers bright and diffused light. It is best to put it on the western or eastern window. If you want to place the plant pot on the south side, the window will need to be slightly darkened so that direct sunlight does not leave burns on the leaves. And in summer, a flower pot can be taken out to the balcony or courtyard. But then the plant will need to be treated with special preparations for the prevention of pests and diseases.
Watering
Rose loves moisture. Therefore, the earth must be moistened as the topsoil dries. But it is absolutely impossible to fill in too much either. Since this will lead to decay of the root system. I take warm and settled water for irrigation. In the summer heat, I regularly spray my beauty from a spray bottle.
top dressing
For abundant and regular flowering, the rose needs timely fertilization. During the flowering period, I feed it every 10 days with special formulations for indoor flowering plants.
pruning
I spend it in February so that the plant will delight me with lush flowering. On each shoot, I leave no more than 5 buds when pruning. I remove weak and diseased shoots.
Diseases and pests
Indoor roses are also afraid of diseases and pests. Of the diseases, she suffers from powdery mildew, spotting, and rust. To combat these diseases, I recommend the use of special drugs. And of the pests she is afraid of: spider mites, aphids, scale insects.
If you manage to create the most comfortable conditions for growth for your beauty, then your indoor rose will bloom luxuriantly and for a long time, and neither pests nor diseases will be afraid of it.
