Flower Care

Light: Flowering plants thrive on sunshine, so the more you can provide the better they like it. If you have the option, place them near an easterly or southerly facing window.
Temperature: Most flowering plants prefer temperatures in the 55 - 70 degree range (Fahrenheit).
Watering: Inspect soil daily and add water when the soil feels dry to the touch. When watering, wet the soil all the way through.
Fertilizing: If you keep your flowering plants longer than 5 weeks, plant food/fertilizer should be added. Most garden centres can recommend a suitable fertilizer.
