Saving an Indoor Mini Rose from Spider Mites & Dry Air

"Indoor" mini roses hate dry heated air—it causes spider mites and bud blast. They want to be outside.

Rescue Protocol

1. Cut back all dry tips.
2. Bag & soak: Pot in plastic bag, tie at base, warm shower spray 3 days straight—mites hate water.
3. Repot larger pot, sterile potting soil.
4. Slow-release fertilizer (Osmocote 14-14-14).
5. Full sun, daily mist. Soil damp, not soggy.
6. Move outside (morning/late afternoon sun) when weather allows.

Leaves may drop a few days, then return green. Blooms follow.
