Valentines Day is right
around the corner, and if you’re looking for alternatives to cut flowers for
your sweetie, why not try something living that flowers as well?
Check with your local
garden store or florist, and I’m sure you’ll find some nice foliage plants
that with a little bow around the pot will make the perfect Valentines Day
present, that keeps on giving for years to come, indoors.
Or check out combination
planters of both foliage plants and flowering plants as well, which down the
road can be divided and replanted so you’ll have several plants that can be
grown indoors.
And if you’re looking
for indoor flowering plants for Valentine’s Day, 2 of my favorites are
African Violets and Miniature Roses.
African Violets are
probably one of the easiest indoor flowering plants to grow, and they come
in a multitude of colors. Give them a bright window or florescent lighting,
and they’re good to go for years of wonderful indoor flowers.
And I love miniature
roses indoors. Again, many colors to choose, these are a bit pickier
indoors and need a really sunny window, but again, will flower for you all
winter long, indoors.
By the way, when late
spring gets here, you can plant your miniature rose outdoors and it will
grow just like the other roses, in your garden, and keep coming back, year
after year. |
