What Should We Pay Attention to When Growing Flowers at Home?
While growing flowers may seem simple, it’s important to know that it’s not just about watering. Sometimes, unexpectedly, you might find your flower’s petals falling off, or you might wake up one morning to find its neck bent. Therefore, learning the tricks of home flower care will help your plants grow healthier and longer.
Pot Selection
One of the most important steps in home flower care is pot selection and repotting.
You should choose a pot suitable for the plant you’re growing. If you’re growing plants whose roots don’t need to grow very deep, you should make sure the pot isn’t too deep. If you have flowers that thrive in larger areas, you should choose larger pots. Apart from this, you should not plant your seedlings or seeds in a very large pot at first, and you should change the pots at regular intervals according to the development of your flower.
Soil Selection
Careful selection of soil is crucial, as it’s considered a fundamental step in indoor flower care. Otherwise, the flower won’t be able to absorb the nutrients and other nutrients it needs from the soil, and unfortunately, its lifespan will be short. While peat, rich in organic matter, is generally recommended for indoor plants, this will vary depending on the plant you choose. Therefore, consult your florist about the soil and additives you should use for your indoor plants.
Irrigation
Flower watering is very important as it is the most frequently repeated part of flower care. Of course, how often you water them varies depending on the type of flower you’re growing. For example, orchids and violets are generally watered every 4 to 7 days, while cacti require watering once or twice a month.
However, there’s another point to consider when watering. First and foremost, be sure to water them at the same time each day. Getting your flower used to this will help it grow more healthily.
