This time of year can be hard on gardeners. The weather is nasty and we’re
all closed up inside the house getting more irritable by the minute. It’s time
to liven the mood with a blooming houseplant.
Check out your garden centers or even the grocery store’s florist department for
a cheery blooming azalea, Reiger begonia, cineraria or kalanchoe. Once you bring
yours home, there are a few things you can do to get the longest cheery impact.
Florist azaleas in full flower will certainly get you in the mood for spring.
These small potted plants come in red, pink, rose, bicolors and white. They
bloom longer than regular azaleas, starting in winter and continuing through
spring. These plants require lots of bright but indirect light while in flower.
