Flowering
Indoor Plants
Flowering plants are easy to care for provided you follow a few simple rules.
They need good light, particularly in winter – so place them near an east
or south-facing window. Most flowering plants grow best in moderate temperatures,
away from radiators and drafts and they also enjoy humidity as high as possible.
Increase humidity around the plant by placing it in a plant box or jardinière
filled with moist peat moss.Keep an eye on the soil. If it is dry to the touch,
add more water, making sure to wet the soil all the way down. If you keep flowering
plants longer than six to eight weeks, some plant food should be added.

| A
bit of Flower History |
For women, flowers
are an absolutely fail-safe romantic gift. Gentlemen, you cannot go wrong by buying
your special someone a bouquet or a single stem of her favorite flower. Giving
flowers to men can be tricky however. Some men would welcome this role reversal
and appreciate the sentiment, while others would feel insulted, and perhaps a
little wounded as well. So stop a moment and consider what you know about your
partner so that you can make an educated decision. If you have your doubts, don't
buy him flowers. There are plenty of other options.
