Proper care of a room rose

The rose rightfully bears the title of the queen of the flower world. Suppose you decide to have this flower in your home greenhouse. Or maybe someone gave you a plant. In this article, you will learn how to facilitate the care of a room rose and carry it out correctly.

Room rose care: possible difficulties

Let us immediately focus on the difficulties. After all, if we do not provide the plant with proper care, then the joy of purchasing will be short-lived. When you look at a sample in a store, it looks healthy and well-groomed. With a lush cap of beautiful buds. However, not everyone knows how this is achieved. Most often, plants saturated with various stimulants fall on the shelf in a flower.

In addition, thanks to the packaging, the optimal moisture content for the flower is maintained. These are all ideal conditions. But as soon as the plant gets into the home environment, it experiences stress. The leaves begin to lose their juiciness and dry out. And the lush buds are dropping.

It is very difficult to keep a rose on your windowsill, because most varieties are adapted to life in the open field.

Tips for keeping and growing

1. If you bought a flower in a package, when you come home, free the rose from it. Because, in addition to being able to maintain moisture, the packaging interferes with natural air exchange.
2. Withered leaves and dried stems must be carefully trimmed with scissors.
3. It may seem strange to you, but the buds, flowers, and shoots of the purchased flower also need to be cut off. Because the rapid flowering of a store rose is artificially activated. By means of special formulations. In the future, a plant that has given up all its resources will not tolerate such a violent flowering. And it may die.
4. Often, houseplant sellers put several roses in one pot at once. In order to create an attractive bush with a lush head of flowers. However, this leads to a weakening of the culture. Interferes with the proper growth and development of the flower. Therefore, it is extremely important to consider this point when buying.
5. When purchasing more than one flower in a container, be aware that they need to be transplanted into individual pots. After carrying out the picking procedure, do not forget to treat the plant with compounds against fungus and pests. For example, "Fitosporin" or "Fitoverm".

Experienced flower growers are familiar with such a picking method as transshipment. The essence of the method is that we move the flower into a larger pot along with a lump of earth. No root cleaning.

Room rose care: about the root system

Be sure to pay attention to the state of the root system. Healthy roots should be white. Or with a yellowish tint. And also a fairly dense structure. If they become brown or black, dry, or begin to rot, the flower will usually die. The only way to save the plant is to cut the cuttings. And try to root them. If the roots are not completely damaged, you need to get rid of the sick. And leave healthy.

Drainage must be provided at the bottom of the new dishes. To do this, it is enough to lay out a layer of expanded clay. Next, we fill in the earth, compacting a little. Next, place the plant in a new pot.And we fall asleep with a new layer of earth. The flower should be well fixed. Therefore, we periodically compact the filled layers. After that, we water the plant with clean, previously filtered water.

The soil itself can be purchased ready-made in any garden store. Suitable soil for roses or garden.

Humidity and lighting

Monitor moisture levels. Dry indoor air can negatively affect the growth and development of your pet. And also contribute to the infestation of parasites. Especially during the heating season, you need to systematically irrigate the rose with a spray for indoor plants. If the plant is in a cool room, then the irrigation frequency is reduced.

If the rosette is very small and frail, it must be gradually accustomed to room air. For this, a greenhouse is created. You can build it yourself. It is enough to cover the flower with a bottle. Small holes must first be made in it for the flow of fresh air.

Almost all indoor flowers are usually photophilous. The decorative rose is no exception. It is best to place the flower on the sunny side. However, overheating should not be allowed either. If the insolation is insufficient, you need to resort to additional lighting with lamps. As well as specialized phyto lamps.

Room rose care: temperature

For roses, temperature is extremely important. The most comfortable temperature for a room rose is between 18 and 25 degrees. In natural conditions, a rose is a flower of open ground. Therefore, the home look needs fresh air. In the summertime, it is helpful to place your pet on a balcony or veranda. In other seasons, ventilation must be provided. But do not allow a draft.

If in winter you place a flower on a glazed balcony, loggia, or veranda, it is important to avoid freezing the soil. To do this, the rose can be placed in a box and covered with sawdust around the plant.

Room rose care and watering regime

Water for irrigation should be at room temperature. Avoid water that is too cold. The water must be clean. Ideally passed through a filter. It is very important to avoid overfilling. Especially in autumn and winter. The intensity of watering, as a rule, is reduced with the termination of budding.

Top dressing is usually carried out with compositions for roses. The most successful time period is usually spring and summer. It is enough to feed the crop every two to three weeks. By the fall, the frequency of fertilizing is reduced.

Reproduction and pruning

If there is a need to propagate a flower, choose the option of propagation by cuttings. It is best to do this from May to September.

Choose cuttings up to 15 centimeters long. There should be several buds and leaves on their body. Transfer them to a small container. In order for the cuttings to take root and take root, they are covered with a cap. You can also use a seedling cup. Roots usually appear after three weeks. As soon as new leaves appear, it's time to get rid of the impromptu greenhouse. When the root system is sufficiently formed, the petioles can be dived.

Periodically, roses need pruning. This is done to form a bush and lush budding. It is also necessary to remove dried leaves and wilted inflorescences. The best time for this action is spring.

Room rose care and protection against diseases and pests

When will our queen bloom? The growing season of roses is in the spring. Then bloom comes. The blooming rose looks amazing! The color palette ranges from tea to maroon.

Possible problems when growing in a room

Growing a rose in an apartment, its owner may face a lot of problems. But they can be solved.

Problem # 1 - the flower dries up. This happens, as a rule, in the summer and winter periods. The reason is a lack of moisture. In summer, high temperatures are to blame. And also dry weather. In winter, batteries. Therefore, it is very important to maintain the moisture level in the soil.

Causes:

1. The flower is not able to absorb the substances and moisture necessary for growth and development as a result of damage to the roots.
2. Dry air or close proximity to heating devices.
3. Rare watering. And also poorly moistened soil.

What should be done in this case?

As soon as you see that the leaves have begun to dry, take action. First of all, you should check the soil moisture level. Water if necessary. Move the plant as far away from indoor batteries as possible. Increase the frequency of irrigation. If the flower is small, create a greenhouse environment for it. Cover with a glass. Wait for the flower to recover.

If all first aid methods have not worked, remove the rose from the pot. And check the condition of the roots. If they turn black, dryness and brittleness are noted, the plant can no longer be saved. The only way out in this case is to take cuttings from him.

Leaves turn yellow. What to do?

This can happen because the root system is not getting enough air. And also due to excessive watering. Lack of useful potassium, phosphorus, manganese, iron in the soil also negatively affects the plant. If the roots rot or the flower is attacked by pests, its leaves may turn yellow.

What should be done in this case? You can start with fertilizing. Feed the flower with special formulations for roses. In case of iron deficiency, "Ferrovit" or "Iron Chelate" is useful, respectively.

If all the attempts you have tried do not work, move the crop to soil that is more nutrient dense. But garden soil will not work here. If the roots have acquired a black or brown color and are pressed without effort, then they have rotted and rehabilitation is impossible. If the roots have rotted only partially and there is a percentage of healthy ones, the diseased are removed. And the flower is transplanted into a container with a good drainage system. They also control watering.

Monitor the temperature of the water. Water that is too cold is not suitable for irrigation. Because it is unable to dissolve nutrients in the soil. Neglecting the temperature aspect can lead to a decrease in plant immunity. And also to decay of the root system.
