Rules for the care of home colors

Plants again became a fashionable hobby. We grow flowers, cacti, lemons, palms on the plots and windowsills ... And we get great pleasure from this. The main thing in this business, to know the basic rules of care for house colors!

Pots with flowers in the apartment and well-kept flower beds in the country are a tradition that is experiencing a real renaissance. The benefits of plants have always been obvious: beautiful, healthy, eye pleases ... All these attractive features of home gardening are not a thing of the past, but they were supplemented by new ones. The choice of plants has become much larger. Globalization and the Internet allow you to buy or exchange any seeds, tubers and bulbs. Having been charmed with a rare ficus, you will find a couple of days and order a curiosity on the house, even from another continent. You can just come to the flower salon and order a collection of flowers at once. And at the same time a service: the florist will regularly come to your house to groom and cherish your garden. The possibilities are limited only by the plant atlas and customs regulations. The craving for creativity is another reason for the flower renaissance. "If you put a chair in the corner in the evening, you'll find him there in the morning. And the plant is constantly changing: you will not have time to turn away, as a new leaf appeared or bud. Waiting for the flower to open, bragging: "I will soon bloom yucca!" It's nice to get recognition and admiration from friends. "


It's not enough to pick up a pot and water it, you need to do it right. Provide the pet with suitable conditions - it will grow, no - it will die. For someone, the home garden is an attempt to attract attention to oneself, the need for recognition and approval. Carefully caring for plants and seeing an excellent result, such people relieve inner tension and anxiety, feel more confident. " "Green fingers" so in England they call those who have any seed sprouting in the ground. There are people who paint best of all, but there are those who have a stick stuck in the ground. To realize and realize your natural uniqueness is very important for self-development and inner harmony. And with the help of flowers you can create a unique phytodesign. In shops everything that is necessary is sold - from a color hydrogel to fur-tree toys on bonsai. In short, there is a creative person to turn around. And at the same time to remove stress and to touch the living nature.


Garden therapy

My parents are career people, they were not up to the flowers. Apparently, I still fill this gap. Once, on my birthday, I was presented with a bouquet decorated with dracaena. The bouquet wilted, and I could not throw the dracenum, it stood for a long time, then gave roots ... In general, I resuscitated it and transplanted it into a pot. This flower was the beginning of my home collection. When we moved to live outside the city, room flowers moved with us. In winter they live in the house, and in the summer I put them outside. But there are not many such, the main collection in the garden.

My principle: in the garden all the time there must be something to blossom, replacing each other. Almost all my bushes and trees are blooming. Flowering begins in early spring, as

Roses at me blossom till December - probably, because of global warming. Then yellow barberry appear. Next hawthorn, lilac, azaleas, jasmines, buddlei and clematis. And, of course, roses, very different. The more complex the care for the plant, the more interesting it is for me. Tulips, for example, in July dig, in September I dig in, and it does not bother me at all.


Flowers are a kind of psychotherapy, self-expression, self-affirmation, peace, rest, communication. And development. I constantly create new ways for the rules of caring for home flowers and plants.

In plans - the creation of a winter garden (I am already drafting). Imagine: you are sitting in a winter garden surrounded by exotic plants, and through a glass roof you can see how snowflakes are spinning!


Dreams Come True

Like every person, in my childhood I dreamed of growing a lemon out of the stone, but it did not work out. And two years ago I was given a seedling of 1 room lemon. I then quit smoking, and the purpose of the gift was to distract me from thinking about cigarettes.

I did not quit smoking, but I got carried away with plants. I started to collect and study all the available information, to discuss it with people who have been growing citrus for years. Having gained experience in caring for oranges, lemons and other exotic plants, I decided to tell about it on my own website. It turned out that many are interested. Now people come to me and ask for advice.

I am a railway worker, and my work is completely unrelated to nature. The more important for me is the clock that I spend on my hobby.

I prefer citrus and tropical: I think that the plant needs to receive not only aesthetic pleasure, but also a visual result - the fruit. Now I have bananas, pomegranates, mandarin, lemons, figs, pineapples.

A favorite occupation always brings satisfaction, but mine is doubly: when a plant is fruitful, the result of diligence is especially obvious. From my hobby, I get a lot of positive emotions, and even talk with different interesting people who are addicted to the same.


The prickly miracle

Cacti took a great interest 8 years ago, already adults. We remember exactly how the hobby started - from buying a bag of seeds in a conventional kiosk. Now, when the collection has greatly increased, all our cacti are dear to us - as children to parents. But the first-born enjoys special honor. Cactus growers often start with finished plants, but we bought seeds. Now we understand that the first crop was doomed. But out of 10 seeds, 3 seedlings still appeared! It was a victory. We wanted to create a complete cycle of growing cacti: buying seeds, sowing, growing, flowering and getting their seeds. A total study of the subject began.

And it worked out! True, one pot is just the beginning. Gradually, cacti displace all other plants. We sacrifice space, time, money ... but what beauty we receive in return! It's hard to describe the feeling when you open the greenhouses in the morning, where there were thorny balls and sticks yesterday, and there the sea is different in shape, color and size of flowers! In the end, we wanted to tell people that cacti - it's beautiful, interesting and not as difficult as it seems. Technical wisdom fell on the shoulders of Galina, she understood them from scratch, as in cacti. Many envy us, because one hobby for two is a rarity. Of course, ideological cactus disagreements sometimes arise. But they are quickly resolved, we, the same comrades-in-arms.


Ficomania

Now I have a real flower kingdom. All the pots can not be placed on the windowsills, thanks to my husband - he built racks. Often a whole history of relations is connected with the plant. More than a year ago I learned about streptocarpus. Acquaintance began sadly: out of 30 purchased varieties, only 5 survived. I studied the details of care, got ready with the spirit, bought a dozen more, and everything turned out. This is the only plant with which I decided to make friends. Usually, if we do not rejoice with the flower, each other, I do not hesitate to give it to my acquaintances. Now there is such a choice that you can find a plant that suits you and your house. Another one of my favorites is violets, I have about 300 kinds. Most of all, like the variegated: they have such elegant foliage, even bloom is not necessary. The hobby stimulates me to develop: every day I search for new information in books and on the Internet, get acquainted with people who share my passion. In the future I want to take part in an exhibition of flowers. I also dream of a greenhouse where I will plant all my plants. In my spare time I'll come, sit in a chair and enjoy the beauty.
