Flower Care Tips:

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.

Flowers were once part of lengthy courtships, dating back to the Middle Ages. This was a form of communication allowing couples to express themselves to one another without being overheard.
