Do Miniature roses require much water indoors in pots?
Yes. Correct watering, along with sufficient light, is the most important single item in the maintenance of Miniature roses indoors. While the soil should not be kept soggy wet, it should not be permitted to dry out badly and certainly not for any extended length of time. If kept dry for more than a day, the rose can be badly injured, if not killed completely. A daily check on soil moisture is advisable. If course, the larger pot in which the Miniature is growing, the less chance there is for its drying out badly. Then too, the higher the organic content of the soil, and the higher the humidity content of the air in the home, the less chance there would be for drying out and injury.
