Can roses be raised indoors?
In urban life, introducing roses indoors has become a new trend in beautifying the living environment. This plant, known as the "Queen of Flowers", is attracting more and more gardening enthusiasts with its colorful colors and refreshing fragrance. But how to successfully cultivate roses in a limited space? This article will provide you with a detailed analysis of the secrets of indoor cultivation from environmental adaptation to daily maintenance. 1. Indoor environmental adaptability of rose flowers 1.1 Characteristics of light requirements. Strong positive plants in the genus Rosa need to ensure more than 6 hours of direct light every day. South-facing balcony or floor-to-ceiling windows is the best choice. Full sunshine can be received in winter, and a sunshade net is needed to filter 30% of the strong light at noon in summer. 1.2 The spatial layout plan recommends the use of breathable pottery pots with a diameter of more than 40cm, combined with a rotatable flower stand, to ensure that the plants receive uniform light on all sides. Keep a 20cm distance from the wall to promote air circulation. 2. Core skills for indoor cultivation 2.1 The substrate preparation standard uses a gold ratio of legula soil: perlite: vermiculite =5:3:2, and a 5cm ceramsite drainage layer is laid on the bottom layer. Supplement 5% decomposed sheep manure every quarter to adjust the pH value. 2.2 Intelligent water and fertilizer management adopts the "three-look watering method": look at the topsoil (2cm dry), look at the leaves (slightly wilted), look at the seasons (3 days per time in spring and autumn, and replenish water in the morning and evening in summer). Combined with Meilege liquid fertilizer, N-P-K=20-20-20 during the growth period, and potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizer is used during the flowering period. 3. Comprehensive pest control 3.1 Physical prevention measures Wipe the back of the leaves with 75% alcohol every week, and sprinkle diatomite on the surface of the basin soil every month to effectively control common pests such as red spiders and aphids. 3.2 Biological control plan 3.3 Emergency treatment of disease powdery mildew, use baking soda solution (1g:500ml) to spray continuously for 3 days in the initial stage. In severe cases, cut off the diseased branches and use mancozeb to fully disinfect them.

It is recommended that novices start with miniature rose varieties, cooperate with smart fill light and thermohygrometer, and gradually master the maintenance rhythm, so that this natural beauty can remain in the room.
