Who can imagine a life without flowers? There a leaf plant,
here a cactus, still a bunch of flowers and everything is more comfortable.
DO NOT BUY FLOWERS INDISCRIMINATELY
Granted, whoever decides to decorate his home with flowers
is often over-zealous. Too large is the range of potted plants that seem to be
perfect. Especially on the Internet, these plants usually look great and not
every flower buddy bothers to read the accompanying descriptions. You will find
them when you buy flowers, in all shops there are comprehensive care
instructions. A mistake not to pay attention! Because here you will find out a
lot about the future roommate.
They will find out if they prefer sun or partial shade,
maybe they have no problem standing in the dark room. It is also to be read,
which nutrient claims the plant brings and whether it must be regularly
fertilized and poured or whether it is a contemporary, who also gets along now
and then without water. You should know your own care habits and know if you
have a green thumb or if the plants need to survive long periods of drought.
Choose the new plants accordingly.
In addition, of course, must be taken into account, which
location the flowers wish. If you love to stand in the sun, you need a
southeast or south window. Some plants want to be bright, but do not like the
sun. For them, a north, northeast or east window is ideal. Tip: Take a tour of
the apartment and preferably at different times of the day. This is how you see
when the sun is at which point and how the light conditions are shaped. Then
you can decide who may move in with you.
FLOWERS INCREASE THE QUALITY OF LIFE
We all know that indoor plants can provide a better indoor
climate. They purify the air and produce oxygen, even though they are not as
effective as the trees outside. Some indoor plants have a reputation for having
a particularly purifying effect on the air. These are usually foliar plants
that have a large leaf surface and thin leaves. At the same time you need a
bright, not sunny location and the highest possible humidity. If you can not
offer these, regular spraying of the leaves is announced!
However, plants also increase the quality of life because
they can lighten the mood. The green color of the leaves has a positive effect
on our mind, a previously dead room is animated by a plant. Decorate with
different colored plants or put a bouquet of flowers in a vase, so the variety
and a positive mood in the room. The apartment is busier, more personal and you
will enjoy a new sense of creativity when you work with flowers as decoration
objects.
Many people also see it as a hobby or at least meaningful
leisure activity, to deal with the plants. You do not have to go so far as to
tell them about your daily routine. But the daily care of the plants, the
watering and spraying have a relaxing and invigorating effect on the body and
mind. The beauty of it: The plants thank you with a fresh green and with
vigorous growth. The latter applies only to flowers, which are among the
fastest growing plants. You can almost watch them grow, while with a succulent
or elephant's foot, for example, this could be a tedious task.
DECORATE THE APARTMENT SEASONALLY
Use indoor plants and bouquets to present the current season
or a special occasion in your home environment.
Especially on the following occasions typical decorations
with plants are possible:
• Easter
• Christmas
• Halloween
• Spring,
summer, autumn and winter
• harvest
time
• Special
events (wedding, youth consecration, confirmation, birth, etc.)
Actually, there are reasons to decorate the house and
apartment throughout the year. Always plants are used, which must not only find
their way into potted plants or bouquets of flowers, but also look good as
home-made arrangements. Especially at Christmas, such arrangements are
available, which you can even make together with the children and increase the
anticipation of the big festival. The decoration will be replaced at the latest
at Easter, if home-made Easter eggs find their place in the apartment.
Such decorated apartments not only have a relaxing and cozy
effect on the residents themselves, but also show visitors that someone lives
here who cares about an individual environment. Your apartment will become a
business card!
USE HANGING PLANTS
You lack the footprint for large flowerpots? Or are your
window sills too narrow? Then you can use hanging plants, if you do not want to
do without plants. Please bear in mind, however, the light conditions: Most of
the light falls diagonally down into the local windows. Therefore, do not hang
your traffic light plants too high, otherwise it will be too dark for them. In
addition, you should still be able to open the window despite hanging plant;
Frustration is inevitable when the flower is always hanging in front of the
window, that this can only tilt.
DRAW FLOWERS YOURSELF
Many flower lovers enjoy pulling their own green offspring.
Plant seeds are commercially available for little money, then only pots, potting
soil, light and moisture are in demand. And a little patience: At the elephant
foot, the seed may take up to three months before it germinates! But then it is
even better when the plant children show the first tips and begin to grow. You
can use it to grow beautiful plants, which would be much more expensive in the
trade.
But you can also give them away to family or friends and
thus have a very individual present. Many plants also like to supply their own
offspring. The lucky thaler or the green lily is especially prolific and
constantly waits with young plants. If you no longer have anyone to whom you
can give them and your own apartment is already like a jungle, you will have to
part with the offspring, for better or worse.
ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS AS AN ALTERNATIVE
There are people who just do not have any luck with their
plants. These turn brown, go in. In part, this could be due to casting, but
this realization does not last long for some and so soon follow the next green
comrades their predecessors on the way to disposal.
The alternative is artificial flowers! These look partly
deceptively real and bring the great advantage of being at the same time
decorative and not demanding. Even after years, they still look good. In
addition, artificial flowers need no light, captivate with their rich green or
their great flowers even in dark rooms. In addition, you can choose the size of
the flowers to match the desired location. You do not have to worry about this
plant possibly growing and then taking up more space.
Artificial flowers have the only disadvantage that they do
not purify the air. For some people, they lack the care of their green
roommates, but the benefits of artificial plants outweigh this. Artificial
plants can also be used as an accessory decoration to determine occasions. If
you no longer need them, you can package them safely and put them back up for
the next occasion. No new purchase of decoration more necessary!
THE STATEMENT OF CERTAIN PLANTS
Just as roses are considered plants of love, other flowers
and plants have a very typical meaning. Most of the meaningful plants are
flowers that grow outside or find themselves in the bouquet. For example, the
sunflower, which is given to someone who is always friendly and nice (just has
a sunny mind).
The orchid stands for beauty and perfection, the calla,
which was once referred to as a mourning flower, today stands for someone who
is considered beautiful or admirable. The Anthurie stands for provocation,
strength and exoticism, the Amaryllis for someone who is strong and unique. It
is often given away for Christmas or special occasions, but is not a symbol of
great love.
If you like to surround yourself with flowers and plants,
you should consider their symbolic value and try to furnish your apartment
accordingly.
