Cyclamen and roses indoor?

I've just bought a potted cyclamen and a potted small rose bush. I've put them on my window sill but im not very experienced in the gardening area. Does anyone have any helpful tips of the best way I can look after them? Iv been watering them both by pouring the water into the trays instead of via the top of the soil. and iv been removing any dead leaves etc. but because they are inside to i need to anything else in particular? is there a need for fertiliser? and does anyone know how big i can expect them to grow? thanks very much x

Cyclamen and roses indoor?
The cyclamen will continue to flower for a short while and then the flowers will fade and you then stop watering to let the plant dry out. when it has dried to the point where the leaves are brown (this is part of its normal cycle) you can put it outside in a sunny place. next August or September put it into fresh potting compost, plant it very shallowly, as it is now then water it and bring it indoors again. If you are lucky it will start to throw leaves and start flowering again.


The miniature rose is not so easy. These are really bred for short term decoration and should be regarded as disposable. If you want to try and keep it for longer than a few months then get some fertilizer for pot plants, Miracle-Gro is good, keep the plant in a bright but not sunny position. Water when the surface has dried out. It is better not to leave it in a tray of water. Mix the fertilizer to indoor-plant strength (instructions on the bottle or box) and feed it about once a fortnight during spring and summer but just water it in autumn and winter. It will be tricky to keep it going in the long term indoors, you can plant it outside in a pot or the ground and it might survive longer. good luck.
