Corridor windows, entrance areas of the apartment and unheated winter gardens are well suited. Temperatures shouldn't rise above 12 degrees.

How is the snow rose watered in house?

Water moderately but regularly. Whenever the top layer of soil is dry, the plant needs water. You can use calcareous tap water for this. Avoid waterlogging by all means.

Does the Christmas rose need fertilizer regularly?

Christmas roses that are bought do not need fertilizer in the house. After the flowering period, they are put outside anyway or put outside in the tub.

Do I have to cut the Christmas rose?

If you want, you can cut off dead flowers as deep as possible. It is not absolutely necessary.

How is the snow rose repotted?

After the flowering period, place the snow rose either in the flower bed or in a very deep pot.

The bucket should be filled with nutritious garden soil and have drainage.

Be careful not to damage the roots when transplanting.

Which diseases and pests can occur?

Illnesses almost never occur. If the leaves wither, it is usually because the Christmas rose is too wet.

As with all plants in the house, aphids and spider mites can cause problems for the Christmas rose.

Collect the pests as quickly as possible and, if necessary, spray the Christmas rose with soapy water. Do not place several Christmas roses too close together to reduce pest infestation.

What happens after flowering?

After flowering, slowly get used to the outside temperature of the Christmas rose. You can plant the snow rose in spring, when the ground is no longer frozen.

Tips & Tricks

If the Christmas roses transplanted in the garden or container do not bloom, you should check the lime content of the soil. The snow rose loves calcareous, somewhat loamy plant substrates.
