How to care for an indoor rose in a pot?
So, beautiful flower, purchased or donated, became part of apartment interior, and I want it to please those around me for a long time with its flowering. How to care for an indoor rose in a pot? For optimal adaptation of a plant to a new environment, it needs to create the conditions in which it grew while on the store shelf: watering regime, appropriate air temperature and humidity, spraying, location ( sunny side or shadow).
Compliance with the usual regime will give the plant the opportunity to adapt to new conditions as painlessly as possible. You should not replant it immediately after purchasing it or take any actions that disturb the dormancy of the flower. It is during this period that drafts and sunburn. The plant needs to be watered only with settled, clean water; the leaves need to be sprayed periodically, especially in hot weather. summer period. Such warm shower will revive the plant, its leaves will sparkle with new colors, and blooming roses will bring a touch of romance and joy to the environment.
Transplantation process
House roses can be replanted only after the flower has fully adapted. This process should be carried out with great care, avoiding damage to any root shoot. It is also advisable not to disturb the earthen lump, even with numerous fertilizer granules available. You can only remove the outer layer without large number old land. By lunar calendar It is advisable to make the transplant during the period when the moon is in its growth phase.
Planting roses and replanting them is carried out in the following soil composition: sand, turf soil and humus soil in a ratio of 1: 4: 4. A certain amount of complex fertilizer should be mixed into the soil. The planting pot for the rose should be slightly larger in size than the previous one, but not too large; its bottom should be covered with expanded clay drainage.
A rose in an old pot should be watered generously, allowed to soak for half an hour, turn the container over, carefully remove the plant along with the earthen lump and just as carefully place it in new pot, gradually sprinkling along the edges with prepared soil, compacting it as you plant. After transshipment, the rose should be placed in the shade or on the north side of the room. After 24 hours from the moment of transplantation, it is recommended to place the rose flowers on a lighted windowsill or balcony, avoiding drafts and direct sunlight and ensuring an influx of fresh air. A sign of a lack of moisture in a flower is its drying out.
Watering
A rose at home needs regular watering, which should be done as the top soil layer dries, under the root. Sometimes, on especially hot days, the rose has to be watered twice a day. The water should be well settled, clean, and at room temperature.
IN summer time A rose in a pot needs good watering and timely application of fertilizers. Washing and spraying the leaves is mandatory in such a hot season. It is important to monitor the condition of the plants, promptly remove dried leaves from the shoots and prevent overheating.
Feeding home roses
The plant should be fed approximately twice a month with mullein solution or mineral fertilizers. It is also recommended to produce foliar feeding, spraying the plant with special solutions of low concentration. It is not recommended to feed plants in damp or cloudy weather, and you should not fertilize sick or newly transplanted specimens.
Many rose lovers want to have luxurious and lush bushes in their flower collection. This can be achieved if the rose flowers are constantly rotated so that they receive uniform lighting from all sides.
Preparing for the rest period
IN autumn period when the temperature gradually begins to drop, the rose from the balcony should be moved into the room and identified with south side premises. At the moment the flower growth activity decreases and the formation of buds, fertilizing should be stopped, and watering should be reduced to 1 time every 3 days. In this way, the plant prepares for winter - the most important of the stages, during which a number of certain conditions must be observed:
- temperature control (from +15 to +17 degrees);
- placing indoor roses in a place where the air is not too dry;
- protecting the flower from household electrical appliances ( microwave oven, TV, PC).
Wintering the plant
IN winter time The rose does not grow or bloom, it looks very sickly, and constantly sheds its leaves. During this so-called dormant period, it is recommended to place the flower in a cooler room, optimal temperature it is +6...+8 degrees. In well-heated rooms, a plant can simply die from dry air. Therefore, it is advisable to keep it at this time on a glazed balcony or loggia, and be sure to control the temperature.
The soil should be slightly warmer than the air, so the rose pot can be placed in a box with sawdust. In winter, the plant is watered very rarely and is not sprayed. If home roses are indoors, then the plants need to be sprayed, because the air constantly dries out when the room is heated. With proper care, your home rose will delight you with new buds in March.
Spring care
In spring, domestic roses begin to come to life: they throw out new shoots and leaves. At this time, the plant should be constantly watered, not allowing the soil to dry out, and fed (immediately after watering) - a solution of mullein or bird droppings is suitable for this. The dosage of fertilizers must be observed, as excess of them can lead to the death of the plant.
Pruning a domestic rose, which is preferably done during the moon's growth phase, is recommended before the start of the winter period. It can also be carried out in the spring, when the home rose is just beginning to grow. A sharp knife or pruning shears - necessary tools to carry out such important process. Each branch is cut off by about 1/3, leaving no more than 5 living buds; the leaves should not be removed. Ignoring pruning of a domestic rose will lead to its poor flowering in next year. The plant will have a lethargic and sloppy appearance.
Reproduction and planting of roses
Domestic roses reproduce quite easily. To do this, you can use cut branches or specially cut cuttings about 15 cm in size with 3-4 live buds and several leaves - future rose seedlings.
It is recommended to place the cut cuttings in clean water at room temperature for about two weeks, until the first strong roots appear. When the latter are well developed, rose seedlings can be planted in small planting containers in pre-prepared soil.
Diseases and pests
Like most plants, the Chinese rose is subject to the negative effects of diseases and pests. This is, first of all, powdery mildew, which occurs due to crowding of plants in one place. The disease can be determined by white plaque on the branches of the plant and its leaves, which gradually dry out, curl into a tube and fall off. IN in this case The drugs “Topaz” and “Fundazol” will help.
The spider mite is a pest that does not disdain any plants; it does not ignore the home rose. Its appearance can be identified by pale dots that gradually increase in size and turn into solid whitish spots.
Therefore, for the purpose of protection, it is recommended to treat the plant prophylactic agents, while observing the temperature regime and required humidity. When the first signs of the disease are detected, the plant should be treated immediately. Special preparations - acaricides - will come to the rescue against spider mites.
Sometimes a domestic rose is attacked by rose aphids, which “specialize” on leaves and buds, which curl under its influence and become covered with sticky secretions. In this case, the plant should be treated with insecticides.
Indoor rose. Among the variety of domestic flora, it, like its garden version, rightfully bears the name of the queen. The flower manages to maintain its leading position in popularity thanks to its unique aroma, variety of colors and the beauty of its lacy leaves.

How to propagate roses from cuttings? Many species propagate by cuttings, but this is not always an easy task. Rosa Cordana, for example, difficult to reproduce. A miniature varieties, intended for premises and interiors, cuttings are easier.
Method of growing roots in water
This method is most suitable for miniature and dwarf roses. Green cuttings Roses are most often propagated. These are annual shoots that have produced buds. To form roots in water, it is recommended to follow the following rules.
Features of the root growing method
According to one opinion, when roots appear, the rose is placed in the ground. This increases the chances of survival, and the plant itself is not weakened.
Other gardeners believe that miniature roses wait up to three weeks for roots to appear and grow them up to a centimeter. They must branch out. Plant in 200 ml containers with holes for draining water.
Some take into account the phases of the moon and believe that landing should be done on the waxing moon. But in order to take this factor into account, the moon needs to shine through the window, giving the plant additional lighting.
That is, the windows should be south-facing; on the north side it does not matter. In addition, by waiting for the “correct” moon, you can miss the time for a successful planting and weaken the plant.
Very often you don’t have to wait long for the first flowering of a rooted rose; the bud appears soon. But this depends on the variety and other conditions.
Cuttings for rooting
Propagation material - cuttings - are obtained in the process of pruning indoor roses. If the rose grew outside, but is small in size, suitable for indoor growing, you can take branches from it.
But not every variety of garden rose will take root in indoor pot. climbing rose considered suitable for rooting. But the garden tea rose almost does not give good results, except for a small percentage.
The most suitable shoots for rooting are received in spring and summer, with ripe buds or blooming. Long shoots are also suitable. Required condition- presence of kidneys. The length of the cutting is up to 12 cm.
Knife or scissors for cutting preferably disinfect alcohol or potassium permanganate. We make a cut under the bud from below and above the bud at a distance of up to 1 cm from above. Existing leaves are cut in half.
Method of rooting in the ground
The cuttings are planted in the ground immediately after cutting. There are drugs that promote rooting. You need to dip the lower cut of the cutting into the Kornevin preparation. And from the Epin product they make a solution in which the sections are kept for up to half a day.
Cutting immersed in the ground by 1/3 and compact the soil. Naturally, before harvesting cuttings, containers with soil must be prepared. Each container is covered with a jar or a common greenhouse is made under the film.
Moisture in a greenhouse evaporates slowly. Therefore, you do not need to water every day. Favorable soil temperature is up to 25 degrees Celsius.
Roses are a must good lighting required. If you can’t put them on the windowsill, we provide lighting (daylight hours - 15 hours). Rooting time is up to 5 weeks. When the leaves begin to grow, then you can supply air to the greenhouse, and then completely remove the film (can).
If rooting was done in a common container, over time the roses seated one by one. The distance between roses should be approximately 5 cm. When in the light, roses should not be exposed to the scorching sun.
When the root system grows, they transship with a lump of earth into large capacity. In a 500 ml container, a rose can live until next spring without replanting. Regular care: watering, temperature regime .
In autumn they can stand on the veranda in cool conditions. In winter you also need to keep them away from the heat of the battery. As the winter days begin to lengthen, the plants will respond by growing. Don't wait in the first year abundant flowering, since it occurs subsequently with thorough rooting.
Rooting by air layering
If a compact (indoor) size crop has long stems associated with the climbing variety, then it can be propagated by layering. It's more reliable way, not dangerous to the life of the rooted branch.
Air layering can be rooted in any plant. And this is exactly what they do for reliability if there are not enough cuttings. When propagating by layering, it is advisable to take a flowering branch.
Leaves are removed from the bottom and make longitudinal cuts with a sharp cutting object (razor or knife) on the bark. Then place a bag of sand over the incision site. This soil needs to be moistened regularly for rooting.
After three weeks or earlier, root buds will begin to develop on the cut stem. If the stem darkens at the cut site and there are no roots, a conclusion is drawn: rooting by layering did not work. You need to cut this shoot above the damaged area and plant it as a cutting.
Successful rooting can be confirmed by the growth of new shoots. Need to moisten the soil regularly without allowing excess moisture. Drying out is also unacceptable. The size of the pot is also important.
Soil and fertilizers. For sale ready soil in a rose package containing all the necessary components. You can also make soil from a mixture of sand and peat.
Sand with turf - good composition soil for further development plants. The substrate is prepared by taking light soil, adding to it twice as much turf, the same amount of peat and a little sand.
Humus is a good fertilizer for roses. When new leaves appear on a rooted rose, you can apply mineral fertilizers and organic.
Container size and greenhouse conditions
The opinions of flower growers differ. Some insist that the pot matches the size of the plant and believe that the cutting needs a small container, no more than 200 ml.
Others say: roses love a large amount of soil and you can immediately take a larger pot. One way or another, there must be a good one in the container drainage, drain holes.
After the roots occupy all the space in a small pot, the rose must be transplanted directly with a lump of earth into a larger container. If the pot is too large, there is a danger of uneven moisture, stagnation of moisture, and the appearance of pests that spoil the roots.
When rooting a single rose in balcony box, you can plant other plants there that have similar climatic preferences. It is quite possible to plant several rose cuttings in one box.
It must be taken into account that wind and draft are also harmful to the crop during rooting. For protection from wind, as well as for long-term preservation of moisture and creating the necessary climate greenhouses are used. This polyethylene film covering a container or jar for each bush.
Dangers and pests
The spider mite is perhaps the most common reason plant diseases. Signs of infection - yellowing leaves, stunting. Sometimes home flower cannot be saved. Regular inspection of plant foliage is required reverse side, as well as the tops.
Although healthy looking indoor plant speaks for itself, to combat spider mite When it is detected, drugs are used, for example, Fitoverm, potassium soap for spraying.
Mini roses are resistant to disease, but sometimes they are affected by a gray coating on the foliage. The result of the disease is yellow leaves. Aphids are also a pest that can infect tender plants.
And this happens in a weakened state caused by waterlogging of the soil and excess fertilizer. To avoid ticks, it is recommended to spray the bushes.
Any mold that has appeared must be washed off the plant, as well as clean the entire window sill and allow it to dry. Against mold you need good air circulation and ventilation.
