The charm of the rose petals and their wonderful aroma lasts, unfortunately, not for as long as we would like. Autumn comes and the bushes are dormant. And if you want to prolong the transience of flowering garden beauties, perhaps it makes sense to try growing a rose in a pot.
How to plant a rose at home in a pot?
At first glance it seems that this enterprise will not be able to succeed. Many people have doubts whether it is possible to keep a rose in the pot at home, as we are accustomed to the roses growing in the garden or the greenhouse. In fact, at home, polyanthus, miniature and Bengal types of roses are not bad at all, which are much smaller.
If you just bought a rose and it still blooms, it's best not to change the transplant until the end of this period. The landing itself is made in the phase of the growing moon. If we talk about what a pot for a rose is needed, then we select a ceramic container that is much larger than the previous one: 2-3 cm in diameter and 6-7 cm in height, no more, otherwise your plant will not bloom. At the bottom of the pot, put a clay or pebble layer of 3 cm, then top fill the nutritious soil purchased in the store (special for miniature roses) or prepared from turfy ground, peat and sand in equal parts. The transplantation itself is made by the method of transshipment, the ground is slightly trampled. Pot for a day put in a dark place.
Rose Rose Care
- A suitable place for a rose is a sunny, well-lit window sill or balcony. If the light day is short, an artificial light will be needed to bloom the rose.
- Temperature . For normal growth, home roses need to provide a temperature regime during the active vegetation period in the range of +24 + 26 ° C, in the rest period - + 7 + 14 ° C.
- Watering . Standing water of room temperature is used for this procedure. The rose does not like cold water. If you talk about how often to water a rose in a pot, then you should be guided by the drying up of an earthy coma. In especially hot summer days, it will be necessary to perform up to two waterings per day.
- Spraying . Roses react well to spraying with standing water or a solution of complex fertilizers. True, the procedure should be carried out during the active vegetation period.
- Top dressing . Without which a rose in the home can not produce buds - this is without systemic application of fertilizers. Feeding is done every two weeks, using ready-made complexes for roses. By the way, immediately after the transplant procedure is contraindicated for several weeks.
