Tips for flowering plants

Suitable light: orchids and Anthurium = partial shade to bright indirect light. Spathiphyllum = tolerates low light. Kalanchoe and roses = full sun. Bromeliads = partial shade. Place according to each plant’s needs.

Regular watering: most flowering plants require regular watering during flowering. Check the soil and water when the surface is dry. Avoid stagnant water (root rot).

Fertilizing during flowering: fertilize every 2 weeks during flowering with a specific fertilizer (orchids, flowering plants). Stop after flowering.

Remove faded flowers: regularly cut faded flowers to stimulate new flower production and maintain aesthetics.

Ambient humidity: most love humidity. Regularly mist the foliage or place on a tray of moist clay pebbles. Avoid dry heating air.

Stable temperature: avoid sudden temperature changes and drafts. Ideal temperature 18 to 25°C for most.
