The plant should be sprayed 3-4 times a week, and washed several times a month under the shower. In the sundial, while spraying, try not to wet the flowering buds. The soil should not be allowed to dry out, this can be fatal to the rose. Regular watering is especially important during the period of growth and bud formation. But also do not fill the soil to a state of mold. Water for irrigation must be used at a standing and room temperature.
Transplant and correct pruning of a rose
After buying a flower in a store, it must be transplanted. The soil in which flowers are sold is usually not suitable for full development and growth. The pot needs to be taken 3-4 centimeters larger than the previous one. To do this, you need turf soil with humus and coarse sand. You can purchase ready-made soil especially for roses. And be sure to lay drainage on the bottom of the container.
