Flower Care Tips |
Diefenbachia
Diefenbachias are poisonous if ingested – don’t snack on this one!
They should be placed in bright indirect sunlight. Let the soil dry out between
watering.
Gardenia
These fragrant flowers are grown best indoors with bright but indirect sunlight.
Mist with warm water regularly, feed every fortnight and prune in early spring
to get the best out of this plant.
Gerbera
Colorfull gerberas produce beautiful blooms and they prefer full sunlight. Allow
the soil to dry between. Ensure the crown of the plant is above the soil and
provide good drainage.

| A
bit of Flower History |
Flowers create a special
language of their own. The meaning of flowers, herbs and leaves has been written
about for centuries. Each book written may proclaim a different meaning, but the
meaning of flowers are, after all, whatever you want them to be. The bloom of
a dandelion given by a small child holds as much love as a rose given by a admirer.
Various flowers can create interesting conversation. Definitions are dependant
on color, size, buds or full blooms and whether they are alone, paired or in bouquets.
A lot to remember when trying to pick just the right flower for someone special.
