Perhaps that is why we always decorate our house with our favorite flowers or plants. However, we need to know how to maintain them and this is exactly what I am going to talk about in this article. See how to maintain your most common indoor plants.

Roses

Enjoy the charm of a home full of blooming roses from spring to late autumn. Although the life of the apartment flowers can be difficult because of the difficult environmental factors to keep in balance, with little attention from you, you can keep them delightful throughout the flowering period.

In flats, it is usually hot, but due to artificial sources of heat, the air is very dry. Even light is not the best in enclosed spaces, being generally suitable for plants located near the window. But also there are the radiators, most of the time. So what do you have to do?

Because the roses love the light, the best position for them is somewhere in front of the window, south or east, where they can enjoy a few hours of sunshine directly, 5 or 6, best in the morning when they do not get too hot. If you want to help them bloom continuously, you can even offer them an artificial light supplement. You have to be careful about this, because if you do not give them enough light, it usually dries gradually, and until you realize it is too late to be saved.

The ideal soil for these miniature roses is the neutral pH (= 7). It also needs plenty of light and high soil moisture. Past flowers need to be tuned to stimulate later flowering and staggered.
