“Mom, mom, look what a beautiful flower!” - my son exclaimed, pointing his finger at a huge bush standing by the window in the clinic. “Yes, my dear, it is called a Chinese rose,” I replied.
What does this beauty need to be happy?
Chinese roses do not grow outside in our climate. Is it possible to keep this magnificent flower at home? Of course you can, because it grows great indoors without causing any unnecessary trouble. With proper care. "And what is he like, this proper care“- you ask. Now you’ll find out about it.
Pot for a Chinese beauty
Most best option a pot for hibiscus such that there would still be 3-5 centimeters left from the root system to the edge of the container. It can be plastic, it can be ceramic - to your taste. For a rooted cutting of a Chinese rose at the first stage, a half-liter pot or glass is enough. Over time, after about 2-3 years, the plant can be transferred to another pot - a larger one.

It will not die immediately, but gradually, losing leaf after leaf.
By the way, the question of choosing a pot is important for hibiscus flowering. Many people complain that it doesn't bloom. I also had this problem until they told me that it would not bloom until the root plant occupied the entire volume of the soil in which it was growing. How can you determine when it’s time to replant a plant? It’s quite simple - when you start watering your beauty every day because its leaves are withering, then you need to transplant it into a larger pot.
The most “delicious” land for Chinese roses
Grows excellently in a mixture of black soil and sand in a 2:1 ratio or purchased peat-based soil for flowering plants. The Chinese rose loves fertilized soil; its leaves sometimes turn yellow due to a lack of microelements. This
the phenomenon is called chlorosis. It occurs against the background of a lack of iron in the soil. It is not so difficult to cure chlorosis - it is enough to water the plant once a month with a preparation that contains iron in chelated form. For example, good result gives "Emerald".
In addition, approximately 1.5 months after planting your beauty in new soil the reserves of mineral substances in it are depleted, and it is necessary to feed the Chinese rose once every 2-3 weeks with a complex for flowering plants. This is the second rule (along with the small pot rule) needed to see flowers on your tree.
Secrets of caring for a Chinese princess
Although the Chinese rose is unpretentious, is it possible to keep a plant at home that over time turns into a real tree? Even if you don't have enough space for a large enough bush, which the hibiscus eventually turns into, you can get out of the situation. Firstly, a third of the shoots can be cut off every year in February. Pruning, along with pot size and regular feeding, is the third rule for producing flowers on this plant. Chinese rose readily produces buds on new shoots. It will also bloom on older ones, but less luxuriantly.
Another secret known to professional gardeners is the use of hormones that stop plant growth. In our country this drug is called “Athlete”. It contains retardants that make the flower stocky and short. But you need to be careful with this drug - if you overdo it and water more than the recommended amount, over time the plant will lose all its large leaves, and new ones will be small and not very attractive. Although it will not stop blooming.
Conditions for keeping hibiscus at home
At good care very often and for a long time rose. Is it possible to keep this flower at home if, for example, your apartment is oriented to the north? The answer is yes. Of course, it’s possible, but it most likely won’t bloom. This beauty simply needs sunlight to bloom. In addition, in the autumn-winter period the temperature of this plant can be reduced to 12 degrees. In February, it can be transplanted and the temperature raised to 17-19 degrees. During this period, timely watering is necessary - when the soil in the pot dries to approximately the depth of one finger. Feeling spring, the hibiscus will come to life, turn green and delight you with flowering until next autumn.
This is such an unpretentious, but with its own requirements, a Chinese rose. Whether you can keep this flower at home is up to you to decide. And I, as far as possible, tried to reveal his character and habits.
