Can you plant it outside? I've never personally had luck with those inside.
2 J'aimeAnnoyingly no. I don’t have a garden. But really want to do anything to make it happy
0 J'aimeSounds super weird but my poppa always emptied his dirty dish water onto his rose bushes and they always thrived… My trick is dirty fish tank water🤭
1 j'aimeMine did the same! His roses were so beautiful
1 j'aimeDoes the pot have good drainage? If not, I recommend a different pot. Also, if you can put it in a sunny window, it would probably be happier. Finally, cut off the dead leaves and flowers- that will encourage more blooms and direct the plant’s energy to the new growth.
3 J'aimeRoses need full sun or a good grow light. So, low light can cause yellowing. Water issues can cause yellowing. Check the roots for rot. It could be overwatering or standing water rotting the roots. Clear the rot, disinfectant the roots and replace the infected soil if root rot is present. Oversized pots, excess soil and slow drying soil can also lead to root rot. Under watering can cause yellowing and kill off the flower buds. Check for dried out roots. 🪴🍀
2 J'aimeDefinitely remove yellowing. Best advice is definitely from sunny. Mine is in a pot outside and the extra rain is really bringing out the yellow leaves. Luckily its recovering though.
1 j'aimeYou can trim off those flowers; they're done. Roses love regular pruning. Trim to improve air flow around and through the stems. and since you're keeping it indoors, you can use a fan or placement to help it get more air. You could probably go up a pot size too
