We planted some stems in pots at the end of July not really expecting anything and have just noticed some little leaves appearing!
Because we didn’t really expect anything to happen (thought we'd left it too late), they were just put in some spare soil in random pots.
Now I really want to take care of them, so I have some questions.
1 when are they ready (safe) to repot? They just have baby leaves on at the moment.
2 what sort of soil should I use?
3 should I feed them?
4 what else should I know?
It was a single rose given as a gift to a family member which broke in half and looked pretty dead, so wasn’t the best specimen! Now I'm hoping to get two plants from it (we planted both broken halves)!! Seeing as they have leaves, I don’t want to do anything wrong now!
The flower part was left on and was dying back - the stem was gradually dying back from the flower towards the leaves - so I have just snipped it off below the dead bit into the good stem above the top set of baby leaves. I hope this was the right thing to do….
Thank you.
