Flower Care Tips |
Fern
Fern grows well in direct sunlight and in rich potting soil. Keep the soil dry
to moist to keep this plant looking perfect in a hanging basket.
Croton
Crotons are poisonous and should be kept well away from children and pets. They
need full sunlight and barely moist soil. Feed weekly and pinch back to keep
the plant in good shape.
Cyclamen
Cyclamen are dormant in summer, but at other times of the year they provide
plenty of colours. They should be repotted in late summer and kept cool. Stop
watering in late spring and resume watering in late summer. Cyclamen are also
poisonous.

| 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.
