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 |
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.
