To avoid the death of a flowering culture after purchase, a flower is planted in fresh and fertile soil. But before that, it is necessary to carry out a number of preventive measures over a blooming culture, namely:
- rinse the vegetation thoroughly using a mild soap solution;
- arrange a contrast shower, but the water should not be too hot, as this can harm the flower;
- spray the green mass with the "Epin" solution, it will increase immunity, and at the same time stimulate the culture for growth.
Features of plant adaptation
For the successful adaptation of a purchased plant, it is necessary to resort to three essential components. They are as follows:
- carefully examine the flower, it should not be affected by diseases, after it must be properly transported to a new habitat;
- quarantine the flower so that it successfully passes the first adaptation period;

If the flower is kept in the apartment, it is worth taking care of the light - it should be moderate. And the temperature regime is the optimal indicator of 18-20 degrees.
As for open ground, it is worth choosing a place where partial shade reigns and there are no drafts.
Pot and soil
As for flower pots, they are selected taking into account the size of the roots. The plant should feel free in the pot. If a transplant is made immediately after purchase, then you need to take a container 2 cm larger than the previous one.
A good layer of drainage is laid in the flowerpot to the rose

Even before transplanting, you should thoroughly wash the pot with soap, and then pour over it with boiling water.
Indoor rose belongs to fastidious indoor crops. The plant is quite demanding on the composition of the soil in which it will grow. An unsuitable composition can cause a number of problems in the form of falling foliage or lack of bud ovary.
It is most preferable for this culture to acquire ready-made complexes, they contain all the necessary substances.If a decision is made to make the soil independently, then it must necessarily contain:
- humus - 4 parts;
- turf - 4 parts;
- sand - 1 part.

The transplanted culture should be removed to a shaded place for a day. Watering the bush after transplanting is not required. Top dressing is applied only after the rose has adapted and rooted well in the new land.
Top dressing and watering
Indoor roses can delight you with beautiful flowering for almost a whole year. Naturally, the plant spends a lot of energy on this process, in fact, therefore, fertilization is carried out on a regular basis.
Every ten days, mineral fertilizing is introduced into the soil in the form of special complexes intended for a flowering culture.
As for watering, after the transplant of home roses has been carried out, water procedures are carried out with exceptionally soft water. It is brought under the root, the soil should be moistened to a depth of at least 1.5-2 cm. Further procedures are carried out every two days. Bushes are also periodically sprayed.

The plant must bloom before pruning. This is best done before the rest period. Sick, improperly growing and dried branches are cut from the bush with the help of a sharp knife or a special pruner. All other shoots are shortened, 2 buds should remain on them.
Before sending a flowering crop for wintering, pruning is carried out, the branches are shortened to a height of 10-12 cm from the soil

Until the moment the plant takes root, you need to keep it under the film. Ventilate the greenhouse daily and moisten the soil if necessary.
