Growing Roses Indoors: Tips for Apartment Gardeners

Garden roses struggle indoors due to dry air, but miniature roses can succeed with extra care.

Essential Conditions

• 6+ hours of direct sun.
• Water thoroughly, then let dry slightly.
• Slow-release fertilizer (1 tsp Osmocote 14-14-14 lasts 6 months).
• High humidity: mist daily or use pebble tray.

Setup for Success

1. Use a 12-inch pot for root space.
2. Cut plant back by half to stimulate growth.
3. Mist daily to simulate outdoor humidity.

Best Variety

Look for "Kordana" series miniatures—they're bred for better indoor performance.
