Hopefully this guide to indoor flowers in pots will help you choose the most suitable flower as a gift for your woman on March 8 or any other holiday. Be attentive, show your imagination, and your beloved will be very happy with the gift.

1. A bouquet of twigs with leaves

The simplest thing is to cut a few branches from any deciduous tree, put them in water and wait for the leaves. I recommend trying with poplar, lilac, birch or willow - in my experience, they are the most unpretentious.

Choose flexible, straight branches that are 30-50 centimeters long. Now, after the January frosts, the cut branches will turn green very quickly, in 2-3 weeks. Sometimes butterflies appear along with the leaves - nice bonus! I had this several times, each time I wondered how I could not have noticed the doll.

Often such a "bouquet" takes root, and when the real spring comes, the branches can be planted in the ground - trees will grow.

2. The first weed

Towards the end of winter, we begin to experience a deficit of green. To feel good, we need to see and eat bright greens every day. It's time to germinate lentils, soybeans, wheat, oats and peas (put the grains on damp gauze - sprouts will appear in a few days), plant garden herbs in pots - parsley, onions, dill and lettuce. As a last resort, you can sow cat grass.

By the way, this delicate greenery can be used to decorate gifts for March 8, and then for Easter. For example, to line baskets and boxes with it, to fill the shell of colored eggs with growing grass.

3. Live spring flowers and compositions from them

Hyacinths, crocuses, primroses, daffodils, tulips, irises - imagine how beautiful your home will be if you fill it with these flowers! If it's hard to imagine, check out the gallery:

Now it's not a problem to buy ready-made primroses in pots. They may not last long, but still longer than cut flowers - just keep them in the light and cool, make sure that the soil is moist, but not damp. And in parallel, I recommend growing your own, they are always better than purchased ones and delight even without buds. There is no time to be in time by March 8, but there is every chance to provide yourself with wonderful fragrant flowers for Easter.

How to choose bulbs?

Buy tubers that are heavy, firm and undamaged, with visible flower buds. Usually, the larger the tuber, the faster it releases greens and inflorescences. Ask the seller for stratified bulbs (that is, lying in the dark and cold for a couple of months), they can be planted without preparation.

How to choose a pot and soil for flowers?

In flower shops there are ready-made sets for growing spring flowers, including those with decorative soil (if you want to use transparent vessels). But you can also save money: any pot will do, as long as there are holes in the bottom. Drainage - expanded clay and some sand. The soil is one part of peat, one part of sand and one part of garden soil.

How to grow spring Flower in a pot?

We bury the onion just above the "equator" (the widest part) and cover with a paper cup. Water once a week. We keep it in the refrigerator or other place where the temperature is about +5 o, until the sprouts hatch by 5 cm. After that, the plant can be brought into a warm room, and after a couple of days it can be opened - it will quickly turn green and bloom in the light. Usually, it takes 2-2.5 months from planting a tuber to flowering.

Is it possible to do without soil and a pot?

Yes, bulbous flowers can be driven out in water. To do this, you need stratified bulbs and glasses or special X-shaped vases - the bottom of the bulb should almost touch the water, with a millimeter gap. It is recommended to put a coal on the bottom of the vessel. The entire structure must be covered with a paper cap from light and placed in a cool (about +10 o) place for 4-6 weeks. During this time, the bulb will put down long, dense roots and give a flower arrow. Then you can remove the darkening and wait for the buds.

Despite the fact that nature has just begun to awaken, very soon the balconies and terraces will be in full spring beauty. After all, it is enough to bring from the store a few early risen bulbs and hardy spring flowers in pots and arrange them so that they are pleasing to the eye.

The entrance to your home can be decorated in a beautiful and original way. To do this, it is enough to buy several large terracotta pots with high-quality substrate and many blooming hyacinths for example the white-blue-violet trio. Their scent will fill the air, which penetrates the house with each opening of the door.

Delightful bells.

Bells should not be forgotten in early spring. We can admire plain or double blue, purple or white flowers already from February. Most often from different types Dalmatian bellflower (Campanula portenschlagiana), Carpathian bellflower (C. carpatica) and plantarium (C. poscharskyana), which you see in the photo, are forcing. A lush flower-strewn bush reigns among pansies(Viola cornuta) against the background of empty baked clay pots.

Tip: Curly bells are best grown in hanging baskets. Miniature bushes are also sold, which are planted in separate pots with three bushes each.

And then to the flower garden...

Some flowers that bloom early due to forcing, such as bells (Campanula), anemones, spring primrose (Primula veris), anemone can be planted in a flower garden after they have bloomed.

When the soil has melted, transplant them to a sheltered location and feed them. Daffodils, crocuses and Muscari also have a chance to appear next year. These plants cannot be used for re-distillation!

Beware of frost!

Fresh air is useful for plants, on outdoors grow much longer than in a heated room. However, if frosts are to hit again, flowers in pots should be transferred to a cold place in the house, or at least moved them to the wall and covered better with white non-woven textiles, newspapers or a cardboard box.

If you do not grow hyacinths yourself and it is expensive to buy a lot for you, choose a smaller pot, which you put on a stool or other hill.

Country style.

You won't have to wait long for the bright blue bunches of Muscari, as in April the first fresh breath of spring brings its delicate fruity scent. And when our home golden suns of the primula veris (Primula veris) bloom near the blue muscari, the composition will be extremely beautiful. It will be a joy for the first spring bees who flock to the fragrant flowers. Both of these humble plants are perfect for a rustic look.

Many probably wondered what it would be nice to give a friend, teacher, mother, daughter, sister, not a bouquet of flowers, but some kind of plant or flower in a pot on March 8. And still very many of the gifted in 2-3 weeks, after March 8, begin to search the network for answers to questions that ultimately boil down to one thing: what to do with a flower?

It so happens that they choose potted flowers as a gift from those that they liked more, seemed prettier, brighter, more colorful. And few people think that such a gift loving person will want to preserve, grow and make it bloom again at all costs. And not everyone succeeds, sometimes it is impossible.

Sometimes the disappointment is even greater than from a faded bouquet, because it seems to a person that a plant in a pot should live a long time! Therefore, before buying flowers for March 8, or any other holiday, think about how your friend will react to it. If she is one of those people who are not fanatical about growing flowers, then feel free to buy the most beautiful flower to your taste, it is unlikely that a person will be upset if it fades in 2 weeks or 2 months.

If you are going to give flowers to someone who has just started to get involved in growing flowers, then choose flowers that are intended for permanent, year-round potted cultivation, rather than seasonal ones. Seasonal plants or potted flowers - these are hyacinths, gerberas, crocuses, primroses - they will survive in the apartment until June, then they need to be transplanted into the garden. The problem is that many are trying to continue to grow them in the apartment, do not want or do not have the opportunity to plant them in the garden. As garden flowers, these flowers are also not the easiest and undemanding ones, you really need to take care of them.

By the way, such popular hyacinths are very often the wrong choice, the point is not even that they do not belong to indoor flowers (they require planting in the garden), but that they go on sale long before March 8th. To be more precise, they are preparing them for flowering on February 14, that is, 2 weeks earlier, and among those that you see on the shelves of stores, many are already finishing flowering, and after the purchase they will not stand for long. In addition, in stores, especially specialized OBI departments, or garden centers, the temperature is much lower than at home, sometimes the difference is 10 degrees or more. Therefore, flowers of hyacinths, tulips, crocuses, primroses, gerberas and azaleas very quickly finish flowering and wither. You are promised that the hyacinth will delight the eye for a long time on the table in the living room, and it will turn black in a week, because for a long time it can only stand on a light and cool windowsill with wooden frames.

Therefore, in order for your beloved or girlfriend to receive a real gift and can keep it longer, give only those flowers for March 8 that do not require special and special conditions of maintenance.

In short, this is what you will have to face when you receive some popular flowers as a gift:

• Azaleas - require light, coolness, do not tolerate overdrying, do not like watering with hard water.
• Hyacinths, crocuses, primroses, gerberas - they will live in a pot until the end of flowering, the hotter and darker in the apartment, the faster they fade.
• Saintpaulias (violets) - require very good lighting in autumn and winter (additional lighting), special soil and uniform irrigation (without extremes of overdrying and waterlogging).
• Cyclamens - they love coolness, do not tolerate overdrying, but are quite unpretentious.
• Roses - prone to gray mold damage, do not tolerate excessive watering, very often carry ticks or instantly become infected with the onset warm days require a cold room in winter.
• Phalaenopsis - require a special substrate and pots for planting, do not tolerate waterlogging (categorically), otherwise undemanding, but for re-flowering they need a light windowsill. Suitable only for a girl who is ready to read literature on the care of orchids and give them a little time.
• Anthuriums are more unpretentious, they are easy to grow, they do not tolerate waterlogging - they will not die, but become covered with brown spots.
• Gardenia is beautiful, but capricious to the point of impossibility - to water only with soft water (boiling is often not enough), does not tolerate waterlogging, it is often flooded already in the store.
• Cacti - require special soil, cold (or very cold) wintering and sunny windowsills.
• Ehmeya, guzmania, vriezia - they require watering only with soft water, otherwise they are unpretentious, but you will have to read about growing bromeliads.
• A garden in a bottle is an expensive gift that requires very careful maintenance (pruning, transplanting), in its original form it exists no longer than 2-3 months, then the plants stretch out, clog each other or grow too much.

The gardenia already has strongly yellowed leaves inside the bush, after two weeks this specimen will completely bald and die, there are about 3 out of 10 chances to save.

Benjamin's ficus is decorative and unpretentious, one of the most best options gift. Pack nicely and verbal recommendation not to water (don't water too often).

There are plants that are quite unpretentious, but you need to understand that minimal care will be needed from the very first day. Some plants can stand on the windowsill for two weeks, in quarantine and acclimatization, while the happy hostess reads about its cultivation in a book or on the Internet. There are plants that require immediate transplantation, almost immediately after purchase - for example, orchids (phalaenopsis and others) very often come to our house flooded, albeit in bloom. If you leave them for a week or two,.

What to look for when choosing flowers as a gift

1. Choose the healthiest looking flowers. For example, if you choose an orchid, then in a transparent pot, carefully examine the roots, they should be light green or gray-green, but not gray-brown.
2. Try to buy plants that have been in the store for 2-3 days - no less and no longer. That is why: if the plant was transported insufficiently insulated, the result of freezing and hypothermia (and in March it is still cold) will appear in the first 3 days - they will appear brown spots... If the plants have been in the store for more than 3-5 days, there is a possibility that they were transfused by compassionate saleswomen, or infected with thrips or mites from bouquet flowers.
3. Do not give plants that have poisonous sap if the girl has a child or a cat (they may accidentally put a leaf in their mouth or eat, get burned or poisoned).
4. You can choose a simple-looking flower, but choose a beautiful showy pot for it.
