Planting and caring for a rose at home

Indoor rose is an elegant and noble flower, and that is why it is in great demand among flower growers, even though it requires sensitive attention to itself. Many do not know if it is possible to grow roses at home, since such a flower can brighten up any design. This article will help you learn all the intricacies of growing thanks to several rules.

Growing and caring for a room rose at home

Before planting a rose in a pot, you should select a cool room with a high percentage of humidity. It should also be borne in mind that the plant needs enough light, which contributes to its active growth.

Planting roses at home and care require close attention from the grower.

And to understand whether a flower needs direct sunlight, you can recognize it by its appearance, namely:

• if the foliage is glossy and dark green, then the plant receives enough light;
• pale and sluggish foliage indicates abundant lighting;
• with excessive sun exposure, a brown border and withered leaves are observed.

In the cold (autumn) season, it is highly desirable to use additional sources of lighting, since at this time the rose has catastrophically little light received due to the too short day. If you do not follow this rule of care, then the cuttings flower will lose its attractiveness and may not even bloom.

How to keep a room rose after purchase

Often, the purchased flower is distinguished by its attractive appearance, and it even seems that there will be no problems with it. However, most often the purchased plant is saturated with various stimulants and placed in a special package that keeps the humidity at the same level. That is why many beginners have various problems with the plant a few days after the purchase. It loses its usual habitat after it was taken out of its sealed package, and begins to die quickly.

• due to the fact that the roots of the plant died or were injured, they can no longer fully absorb nutrients;
• improper watering or lack of moisture;
• low air humidity;
• the plant is located near heating appliances.

• lack of chlorosis;
• pests;
• poor-quality substrate that contains insufficient nutrients;
• decay of roots.

If yellowed foliage is found, it is necessary to check the soil mixture for stagnant water due to abundant watering, which can cause rot on the root system. If you find excess water, you must stop watering the plant for a while.
