Today, I’m sharing gardening tips on flowers and plants for the home.  Flowers always set the mood with their colors, texture and appearance.  So, I’m going to share a few fall flowers that will last months, some years. Additionally, if you are looking for places to find flowers, check out Calloway’s Nursery for inspiration.  

Here are a few flowers and plants you must try:  

Orchid

This beautiful plant has stolen the hearts of millions of people.  It will stand the test of time if you know how to care for it. It needs moderate watering, and when its roots are bright green almost like its leaves, do not water. When they turn ash green, it’s time to water it. When all the leaves have fallen, you can cut the stalk to a height of one centimeter below the flowering stalk.  Taking this step will allow the plant to grow again.  Furthermore, it will continue to produce beautiful flowers. It does not want direct sunlight, so place it in a bright or semi-shady place. Orchids in the garden are also a great way to improve curbside appeal. 

Hibiscus

A special plant with beautiful flowers that we all love. You can find it in many sizes and colors and it is perfect in the  interior of a home.  It can withstand outside temperatures if it’s not too cold. It is very sensitive to very low temperatures. It needs moderate to frequent watering, and wants a bright and cool place to grow.

Philodendron

It is also called a “money plant”.  The Philodendron is called the money plant because of its round, flat leaves.  Many think they look like coins.  Next, it is one of the most beloved plants in interior decoration.  Philodendron like to climb, and have leaves that are heart-shaped. You will see it standing haughtily next to a bookcase or in bulky pieces. It does not need a lot of light, but it loves moisture. 

Anthurium

If we could say that there are flowers with personality than anthurium would definitely be one of them. The intense green on the leaves and the red on the flower create a contrast that stands out in a room. Anthurium needs light, but should not be exposed to direct sunlight. It is highly resistant to heat and high humidity. Additionally, it does not need frequent watering. Once a week during the winter months and twice during the summer months is enough to keep it in perfect condition. All you have to do is clean the flowers with a damp cloth because dust collects on their surface.

Gloxinia

Do you want to illuminate your space and give it vitality and color? Gloxinia is a flower that undoubtedly catches the eye. You can place it in a pot in the house or in a planter outside and let its large leaves and colorful flowers steal the show. The gloxinia looks like a small bell with a soft velvety texture. Prefer to place it in a place with enough light, ideally near a south or west window. During the autumn and winter period when the flower is resting, you should reduce the watering a little. 

I hope that you select one or two of these beautiful flowers and plants for the home.  They will immediately
