General 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
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.
