Here are some tips that will help you save your beautiful hotpots. Flowering plants:endangered species…
I receive a flowering plant, I say thank you!
I remove the packaging, and I water immediately my beautiful (I always speak of the plant) with lukewarm water and rain if possible.
The next day, I water again with a fertilizer solution for flowering plants (clever, they could have given it to me with it!). In the case of orchids, cacti, or shrubby outdoor plants, such as roses, bougainvillea, lantana, hydrangea, etc. take a specific fertilizer.
Don't even imagine having to repot your colorful gift right away. It will be necessary to wait for the end of flowering , if a change of pot is felt.
The roses will wait until the end of summer to be planted in the garden . On the other hand, if you have to be away this summer, bury your pot in the ground in order to keep the freshness.
The Saintpaulia will have the middle leaves removed to encourage new flowering.
Water, food, air, your floral gift should beautify your home sweet home for several more weeks. For your pleasure and that of your loved ones.
Happy Mother's Day!
