Enough time should be given between watering to let the soil dry up. If you are not sure about, which plant to pick, you can always do a research. Even some plans can be kept as indoor palms as they can survive under low lights. But these indoor palms need regular misting.

Most beginners in gardening do not like growing roses because they consider the flowering plant as too delicate and too picky. Roses, in reality, are very easy to start from mere clippings or stem cuttings.

Scout around the neighborhood for mature rose plants. After asking for permission, get some clippings taken from stems which are near the ground with use of a sharp cutter. The length should be about 6 inches long.  Wrap the lower part of the stems with damp cloth immediately.

The stem cuttings should not be left unattended for a long period. They should be planted to soil or potting mix at once.

In some places, where the climate is optimum and the soil is in good condition, these rose clippings would have thrived after sticking them into the ground. With just a little cultivation, a dash of fertilizer, and regular watering, roses will start to bloom after a few months.

But if you’re living in a not so mild climate, like having a temperature of over 100 degrees in summer and below 32 degrees in winter, you should plant your rose clippings in the fall or spring to get some success.

Here are some basic steps to follow:

1. Immerse the lower part of rose stems in water and cut 1/4 inch length from each end. Let the stem stay submerged in water while preparing the pots.

2. Pack the potting mix or soil in the small pots or small black bags punched with holes. Spray enough water to soften the mix.

3. Remove the leaves from the lower part of the stems and push each one into a pot with potting mix to up to 2 inches. Gently firm the mix around the base of the stem with your fingers.

4. Avoid moving the stem from then on. Spray water regularly. Dip your finger to test the dampness of the potting mix. The stems and the new roots will rot in soggy soil or mix.

5. After 2 months, your rose clippings may have new leaves and new roots. They should be ready to be transplanted in bigger and decorative pots. Plants need sunlight so be sure to take the pots out in the mornings and take them inside again before the sun gets too hot.

6. It may take months before you see the first rose bloom from your own flowering plant but you will enjoy the fragrant flowers for many years to come, with proper care and enough attention.
