How to look after indoor roses (Part 1)
Tiny copies of larger garden relatives, domestic roses, get the increasing popularity. How to look after these capricious beauties, what may be done so that they feel well and delight our eyes as long as possible?
The most widespread mistake made by beginning flower growers: do not transplant your rose at once. Some flowers can tolerate it, but not roses!
Put it on a southern or southeast window or a balcony and wait for couple of weeks. If the flower doesn’t show any signs of ailment, it can be transplanted. Roses are very sensitive to damages of roots, therefore transplant it, trying not to injure soil clod. On a bottom of a pot put 1 centimeter of drainage layer (for example, haydite); if a pot doesn’t have drain hole - 4 centimeters, at least.
Do not transplant a rose in too big pot: it can begin to blossom worse. The new pot should be more than an old one 5 centimeters on height and 3-5 in diameter. After transplanting put a rose on a northern window or in a shaded place for one-two day.
