How to care for roses indoors?
Indoor rose care, remember 3 "skills", new flower buds appear every 10 days, with flourishing flowers and leaves
When caring for roses indoors, pay attention to the following skills:
1. Choose suitable roses for indoor care
For indoor care, it is recommended not to choose climbing roses because they have too many vines and cannot bloom well indoors. You can keep some smaller miniature roses or shrub roses, such as strong-flowering roses. This way, you can enjoy the flowers frequently and the plant shape is also graceful.
2. Maintain sufficient sunlight
For indoor potted roses, choose a pot size according to the size of the plant. If the newly purchased rose plant is still small, a smaller pot should be used. It's difficult to keep a small plant in a large pot. When the plant grows larger, replace it with an appropriately larger pot. Indoor potted roses should be placed in sunny areas such as windowsills, balconies, and living rooms, where they can receive full sun, regardless of spring, summer, autumn, or winter, as roses are sun-loving plants.
3. Roses require long-term fertilization
Since roses produce new branches, sprout, and even bloom every month or so, this growth process consumes a lot of nutrients, so it is necessary to constantly fertilize and supplement nutrients.
During the growing period, it is necessary to water with decomposed cake fertilizer every half month or so. After autumn, pay attention to using more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers while reducing nitrogen fertilizer to prevent too much new growth. After each fertilization, it is necessary to water and loosen the soil to keep the potting soil loose.
Winter rose care
After October, fertilization should be reduced or stopped. In summer, water should be abundant, and the potting soil should be kept moist. But in winter, water only when the soil is dry and not too much. It should still be placed in the brightest spot in the house. It is not afraid of cold, so it does not require meticulous care in winter. If you place a pot of roses in a warm, sheltered, and sunny place during winter, it can still bloom.
When early spring comes, change the potting soil again, add some new soil, and fertilize sufficiently, adding some bone meal, sheep manure, or decomposed cake fertilizer to the potting soil to promote root growth.
