A beautiful flower is a great addition to any decor. The most famous varieties of indoor roses are hybrid tea, polyanthus and remontant. They are all very similar to each other. For keeping roses at home, plants grown from cuttings are the best option. The grafted flowers are poorly preserved indoors. Also, after acquiring a bush you like, you should not transplant it immediately. Instead, it is recommended to place the flower on a window facing east or southeast so that the rose gets used to the local microclimate.

Which pot to choose

Indoor roses are sold in containers, so choosing the right container will not be difficult.

A flower pot must have the following parameters:

  • the diameter must be at least 2 cm larger than the diameter of the container in which the flower was sold;
  • the height should exceed the height of the container by 5-7 cm.

Important! The ground part of the rose should be equal in volume to the volume of the pot.

A pot for planting roses is preferable wooden or ceramic. You can use plastic ones, but the soil dries faster in them, and the flowers will suddenly wither. Clay pots are not recommended as they absorb water.

Advice! If a ceramic pot is used that is not new, but nothing has been grown in it before, then before planting the plant should be immersed in warm water for 120 minutes. In the case when the pot is used again, it should be thoroughly washed with a stiff brush in warm water without the use of detergents.

How to transplant a rose purchased at a flower shop into a pot:

  1. Water the rose beforehand (20 minutes before transplanting).
  2. Cover the bottom of the pot with a layer of drainage, the thickness of which should be approximately 1 cm.In the case when there is no drain hole in the pot, the drainage layer should be made more than 3 cm.
  3. Next, add a mixture of soil and fertilizer.
  4. While holding the plant, turn the container over and shake it a little.
  5. Set the roots with soil in a pot, sprinkling a new layer of earth on top, gradually compacting it so that the indent from the edge of the pot is 2-3 cm.
  6. Sprinkle foliage.
  7. Place the flower pot in the shade.
  8. After 24 hours, move the flower to a sunny place.
