Flower Care Tips |
Orchid
Orchids grow well in bright indirect sunlight and can produce flowers at anytime.
Most orchids have sphagnum moss potting mix and should be kept evenly moist.
Be careful not to over-water.
Peace Lily
Peace lilies need full sunlight away from drafts. When watering, drench the
soil and allow it to dry between watering. Feed every two weeks during summer.
Philodendron
Philodendrons are poisonous if they are ingested, so do not keep them around
children. They are easy-to-care-for plants and they like the indoors and grow
best in indirect sunlight. Keep this plant's soil barely.

| A
bit of Flower History |
If
you decide to give the gift of flowers, it will mean so much more if you're familiar
with some of the meanings behind them. Imagine giving a bouquet of purple irises,
crocuses, and ivy to your special someone on Valentine's Day, and being able to
share that this was a traditional bouquet given on this day in Medieval times
because the iris meant "heat aflame," the crocus, "joy," and
the ivy ensured the recipient was wanted "above all others." A red carnation
was delivered to a loved one who was absent, and snowdrops sent a message of the
desire to rekindle an old romance.
