Lots of Bonsai lovers are starting to focus on the great look of Bonsai miniature rose trees. People might think it takes a light touch to grow a miniature rose tree, but when these gorgeous trees are in full bloom, they are hardier than one might expect. Most Bonsai miniature roses are at least five inches tall and various species will be even taller. No matter how tall they grow, you will enjoy growing these special roses.

Growing miniature roses inside requires particular awareness of their environment. Sun from windows alone may not provide enough light. Close examination of the stems will tell if your Bonsai miniature roses are receiving proper light. More light will be required if the gaps between the leaves are too large.

A lot of humidity is required if the bonsai rose plants are kept indoors. This is true for most other plants too. The best way is to arrange a tray or bowl filled with water and pebbles and then place the container of the miniature roses on it. The pebbles or small stones will help the container remain above water thus ensuring that the soil doesnt actually get soggy or waterlogged. As the water evaporates gradually it leaves the required humidity for the plant. However in really dry climatic conditions it is advisable to run a mist vaporizer occasionally.

Pests are likely to infect Bonsai miniature rose plants both indoors and outdoors. Whiteflies and spider mites commonly are drawn to indoor roses. By washing the tops and undersides of each leave, one can reduce the chances or even completely avoid damaging pests. To protect against whiteflies in particular, its best to use pest insecticide soap on the plants at least once a week. These products contain alcohol, which means that you must keep the Bonsai miniature roses out of light until the alcohol has completely dried.

You will need to move diseased roses away from your other plants so they will not get attacked as well. Depending on how serious the pests have attacked your roses, you may be able to cut back a section of the miniature roses. This will allow for regrowth and may even allow the plant to become fuller. The way to get wonderful looking rose blooms is to use a high potassium fertilizer. You will need to mix the fertilizer with water at a 1/4 strength ratio, then proceed to fertilize a minimum of once a week.

Many individuals keep their Bonsai miniature rose plants indoors for a season and then set them outside. This is a good idea on occasion due to the pests that prey on them. However if they are placed outdoors without being removed from the containers they will quickly become dehydrated. Bonsai miniature roses can be planted into a garden as well.

This variety of rose is new to the indoor gardening world, but is gaining in popularity. People are quick to realize how simple they are to care for. Bonsai miniature rose plants are attractive to look at and have blooms that produce a pleasant aroma.
