Plant your rosebush in your small home
You don’t need to have a green thumb before trying to have a rosebush in your own garden to enjoy its gentle benefits. Just a rose and that’s it! All you need is a stem, a potato, some potting soil, a pot and a plastic bottle.
First, take the stem and remove all its leaves. Then cut the head diagonally and stick the stem of the rose into your potato. But why the potato anyway? Because potatoes are full of water and can keep many foods hydrated. Finally, fill a pot with potting soil and put your pretty, crunchy potato in it.
Then, carefully add soil all around your stem and cover it with a greenhouse obtained by cutting the bottom of a plastic bottle. Water your stem around the bottle and be very careful!
Finally, after a period of regularity and continuous care, you will be able to enjoy the splendor of a rosebush at home! Your best way to perfume your home in a different way is finally here and you will attract all the good vibes to your home every day.
