Plants make our home more comfortable and beautiful. Someone chooses the easier way and buys flowers in the store, while someone stops at the more laborious growing of indoor plants from seeds. Consider what flowers can be grown in this way at home.

Features of growing at home

Sowing of most indoor flowers is carried out in the spring. The favorable period for planting is usually indicated on the seed package.

When choosing a pot from under another plant, do not forget to process the container

What kind containers are suitable for sowing:

plastic or polystyrene pots;
clay pots;
boxes with square or round cells of different sizes;
peat cups for seedlings.

If you use containers that were already in use, they should be well treated with soda solution and soap before planting. This is necessary, since tender seedlings can become infected with various fungal diseases (rot, mold).

In any container, before planting at the bottom, you must do hole for draining excess moisture.

The choice of soil is at your discretion. You can purchase a special plant mix or make your own. For cooking, mix one part of peat chips, one part of sand and two parts of sifted earth from the garden.

Before filling the container with earth, drainage should be made from pebbles, clay shards, expanded clay, polystyrene, pieces of red brick.

Next, fill the containers with soil mixture to a height of 1.5 - 2 cm from the edgepressing it down a little. Distribute the seeds evenly and not very densely from above. If the seeds are small, then they can be mixed with sand and distributed over the container.

Choosing a ready-made substrate or preparing it yourself is not important for a flower, if all proportions are observed

We do not cover small seeds with earth, but press a little into it. Cover larger seeds with a thin layer of earthen mixture, then press down a little.

It is advisable to water with a spray bottle or a watering can with a fine "rain". Second option - for watering, place the pot in a shallow container of water for a couple of hours to moisten the soil through the drainage holes.

After watering, it is recommended to close the pot with a transparent plastic lid or glass to create a greenhouse effect. You need to place a mini-greenhouse in a well-lit, warm place.

To prevent the formation of a large amount of condensation, it is necessary to remove the glass or plastic cover for ventilation every 3-4 days.

Germination time each plant has its own: from several days to several weeks. Additional factors affecting the germination rate are seed freshness, moisture level, temperature background, timeliness of watering.

When the first sprouts appear, the lid must be removed and the container moved to a well-lit place, but not under the scorching sun.

Next stage - picking new plants into separate pots.

A pick is carried out when the first true leaves appear at the seedlings.The whole process must be carried out carefully and carefully so as not to damage the delicate sprouts.

For this:

Step 1	remove the plants along with the earthy clump and carefully separate their roots
Step 2	holding the seedlings by their leaves, place each one in the holes in the soil in new pots
Step 3	lightly press the ground around, covering the roots and water gently
Step 4	as soon as the plant is well rooted and grows up, after about a year, you can transplant it into a new, more spacious pot

What indoor flowers can be grown from seeds at home

Many indoor plants reproduce by seeds: decorative-leaved, decorative-flowering, succulents, palms.

Among decorative flowering - various varieties of begonias, cyclamen, passionflower, streptocarpus, balsam, gloxinia, abutilon, anthurium, hibiscus and even fussy orchids.

Among decorative leaf - coleus, dracaena bordered, asparagus, bokarnea, antarctic cissus, croton, coffee, cordilina.

Among palm trees - washingtonia, squat hamerops, date, Forster's hoveya, graceful hamedorea.

Exotic plants

At home, amateur flower growers often take up the cultivation of exotic plants from seeds. Of course, you will get flowers and fruits faster from a purchased flower, but they often die in an apartment.

Grown from seed are more resilient from the start.

For the successful cultivation of exotic plants, you should comply with a number of measures:

sterility of the soil;
preliminary preparation of seeds (soaking, treatment with microelements, bubbling, scarification, stratification);
thermal and light conditions;
air humidity;
the use of growth regulators.

Among the exotics that settled on the windowsills, you can find avocado, kiwi, coffee, citrus fruits, pomegranate, figs, feijoa, dates, passion fruit. With proper care, you can achieve not only flowering plants, but also enjoy their fruits.

Do I need to process the seeds of indoor plants

Special treatment of seeds to improve their properties is usually carried out by the manufacturer. If, however, pre-treatment is required before planting, you will find the instructions on the package.

Processing options seeds:

dense-coated seeds are sometimes recommended warm up, dipping in a very warm solution of potassium permanganate for 12-16 hours, a solution of boric acid or hydrogen peroxide for 15-20 minutes. Then you need to rinse the seeds in clean water.
to accelerate germination, before sowing the seeds can be soak in epine, zircon, potassium, sodium (up to 12 hours).
Stuck seeds, or hard-to-sprout seeds, can be arranged cold and hot shower: Soak in cold and hot water alternately.
Stratification - placing the seeds in the cold, the temperature is from 2 to 5 heat. The seeds are placed on a damp cloth and placed in a bag and sent to the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

In this case, the fabric must be damp. Then we sow it into the ground. For tropical and subtropical plants, this processing method is rarely used.

Scarification - damage to the hard shell of seeds before soaking (puncture, incision, filing with a nail file).

Indoor flowers from seeds

Orchids

Orchids have won the hearts of many people, not just avid flower growers. Phalaenopsis, Vandu, Cymbidium, Dendrobium, Zygopatelum can add to your collection and can be grown from seeds.

Initially, we prepare the inventory (flasks) by calcining it in the oven at a high temperature. This is followed by sterilization:

Sterilization Is a major step in growing orchids that should not be overlooked.	priming	can be sterilized in the oven
	the seeds	disinfected before sowing by dipping them into a filtered calcium hypochlorite solution for 10 minutes

You can sow orchid seeds "over steam": a grate is placed over a pot of boiling water, a flask with soil is placed on it. With a pipette, seeds are taken from the solution and transferred to the substrate. At the same time, we act quickly.

Next, the flask must be closed with a swab and put on germination. The temperature regime must be maintained from 18 to 23 degrees Celsius. Light mode - from 12 to 14 hours (daylight, if necessary - additional illumination with lamps).

The backlight for flowers can be assembled at home by yourself

Orchid sprouts develop slowly. You need to be patient and after about 3-4 years they will delight you with the first flowers. We described everything in more detail in the article on orchid flowering at home.

Salvia

Salvia is a perennial plant. When grown in a flower bed - annual or biennial.

Can be grown indoors from seeds or granules. The granules germinate more slowly.

Sowing seeds is carried out from mid-February to early March in moist, loose soil superficially or to a depth of 2 mm. Temperature regime - 25 ° C. Seedlings appear within 2-4 weeks.

The pick is made twice.... After the appearance of the third or fourth leaf, the seedlings are pinched to form a beautiful bush.

Dracaena bordered

Dracaena can decorate any room, which is why they are so popular. If you are fortunate enough to have purchased plant seeds from a store, you can try growing them.

The process is enough long and laborious, germination can last up to six months. Unfortunately, not all seeds germinate.

If you want to grow dracaena from seeds, you have to be patient.

Stages of growing dracaena from seeds:

Place the seeds in a little water. Cover with a cloth and place in a dark, warm place.
Sprouted seeds plant one at a time in a container with drainage and soil for dracaena to a depth of 1 cm. Sprinkle with earth. Spray with water using a spray bottle.
Cover the container with a flower with foil or glass and place it in a warm place to germinate. Ventilate and water periodically.
When will the sprouts appear and grow up to several centimeters, remove the film and place the plants in a warm, bright place.

A detailed description of the flower (also known as marginata) can be found in the section on dracaena varieties.

Peony roses

Peony roses appeared at the end of the 20th century... It is a hybrid plant whose official name is Austin roses.

The propagation of roses by seeds is theoretically possible, but rarely carried out, since their cultivation takes more than one year.

The main problem in growing roses from seeds is unpredictable result... Flowers on new bushes differ from their parents almost completely.

It is better to propagate peony roses using cuttings, layering. But for the purpose of experiment, you can try to grow flowers from seeds:

Training	First, the seeds must be placed in a cold and damp place for several months.
Sowing	After about 2 months, they need to be sown in a pot with nutritious soil and sand.
Layout	Seeds are spread on the surface, sprayed with a spray bottle. You can sprinkle a little with sand
Result	Sprouts should appear in a month

We described other points related to reproduction in the article on planting and breeding peony roses.

Asparagus Sprenger

Asparagus Sprenger is often found in the homes of florists. It is not difficult to grow a flower from seeds.

March and april the most favorable months for planting a plant. Before planting, it is advisable to soak the seeds for 2 days in a damp cloth. Next, we sow in a slightly moist soil mixture of peat and river sand.

We do not deepen the seeds, sprinkle a little with soil on top.

When watering, keep in mind that the seeds can be washed out due to a slight deepening

Cover the container with foil or glass. We ventilate and spray daily. Seedlings should be expected after a month. We carry out a pick with sprouts of 8-10 cm. After 4 months we transplant into a more spacious pot.

We presented the description and photos of the plant in a separate section on the Ethiopian asparagus (Sprenger).

Gloriosa Rothschild

Gloriosa Rothschild is often propagated with tubers. To grow it from seeds, you need to be patient.

Seeds quickly lose their germination and should be plant immediately after harvest... The soil mixture should consist of peat, turf and sand in equal proportions. It is necessary to sow seeds in late autumn - early winter.

The temperature regime should correspond to 20-24 degrees Celsius. The soil must be moist, not allowed to dry out.

Seedlings should be expected after 1.5 - 2 months, or even later. Next, you should very carefully thin out the strengthened seedlings.

Next stage - seating in separate pots. Gloriosa can be expected to bloom in about 3 years.

Gloriosa is a very unusual and beautiful plant for the home

Nolina (bokarney)

Nolina, or bokarnea, is an ornamental-leaved plant with an unusual trunk shape - a bottle (for this reason it is also called the "bottle tree"). Nolin is propagated by cuttings and seeds.

Stages of growing nolina from seeds:

Soaking the seeds in a light solution of salt or potassium permanganate for a day. Swollen full seeds go down, "empty" - float up.
We use drowned full seeds for planting.
Sowing is done into a sand-peat mixture... Before use, the soil must be steamed for 30 minutes. You can add vermiculite to the soil mixture.
The pot should have a hole for draining excess moisture, drainage.

The optimal light regime for germination is 14-16 hours (at least 12).

Seeds we sit down superficially, slightly pressing down with a board.
From above, the pots need to be covered with foil or glass, when shoots appear, remove.
Temperature range - 22-27 ° C.
After the formation of three true leaves, we dive the seedlings into separate shallow pots with drainage.

It is interesting that at home a flower does not grow taller than 2.5 meters, while in the wild, the height can reach 8 meters. Nolina's appearance and general care points can be found in the section on growing bokarnei at home.

The choice of plants for growing from seeds is a responsible process, since each variety has its own requirements.

The process of growing indoor flowers from seeds at home is sometimes quite laborious and painstaking. But, as a result, a new plant will appear in your house, grown by your own hands.

Foreword

In an apartment or in a country house, green spaces sometimes can be no less than in flower beds in the garden, while you can start with empty pots, growing indoor flowers from seeds. In this case, the plants will initially get used to the surrounding microclimate.

Buy a ready-made bush or grow from a seed - that is the question!

Perhaps, everyone faced a problem when a flower brought into the house, transplanted for you by someone from your acquaintances and completely rooted in its container, in a new place suddenly began to wither and die. The reasons are quite understandable - differences in lighting, air humidity, temperature conditions. As a result, the plant cannot acclimatize under unfamiliar conditions. But if you plant a seed in the same pot and create the necessary conditions for its germination, you will almost certainly get a sprout that has hatched, which will subsequently grow into an indoor flower. After all, an apartment or a country house has an advantage over a garden in that all year round the temperature in living quarters is maintained quite comfortable for plants. That is, housing can be compared to a greenhouse in which winter is not an obstacle for sowing.

Seed-planted indoor flowers

Of course, if you urgently need to green a recently rebuilt or renovated cottage, or a new apartment after moving into it, you can give preference to adult indoor plants. And at the same time sow some crops to see them emerge from the seed. Actually, everything here depends on the type of flower, its exactingness to certain conditions.There are unpretentious ones that grow everywhere, on any windowsill, regardless of which side of the world the window is facing. But there are also many crops that will not take root in a new place if they were grown in different conditions. It is advisable to plant them only with seeds. At the same time, it may be necessary to create additional conditions: curtains on windows, thermal insulation of frames, organization of drip irrigation, purchase of specialized soil.

Which crops are best planted with seeds - choose among many

You can sow almost all indoor flowers, but some of them take root perfectly by layering, dividing, even just torn off leaves can form a root system. Therefore, in order not to sort out all existing plant species, we will selectively consider a few of those that reproduce exclusively by seeds. These, for example, include the Persian cyclamen. Actually, it can also be planted with bulbs that originate at the base of the stem in the root system, but they do not always sprout, since they are very capricious to the state of the soil. The seeds of this plant are formed in a small box, from which it is convenient to extract them.

Cyclamen Persian

The ever-flowering begonia is very popular among flower growers, which, in fact, at room temperature and in a constant microclimate of the room, can bloom all year round. You can plant it with cuttings, but if you are not sure that such planting material is viable, it is better to use sowing. At the same time, there are quite a few different varieties, the smallest of which give bushes no more than 8 centimeters high, crowned with caps of rather large inflorescences, and the tallest grow up to 35 centimeters. It should be remembered that begonia seeds are extremely small, and therefore require special handling in preparation for sowing.

Schizanthus Feathered, which is also popularly known as the orchid of the poor, for its striking resemblance to this exotic flower, propagates exclusively by seeds. True, not all lovers of indoor crops may like the fact that schizanthus is an annual plant, which means that it requires an annual planting. However, if you pick up a pot for him spacious enough, you can expect the emergence of new shoots in the next season from self-seeding. This indoor culture is good because it is very affordable and, when sown on seedlings, gives a good percentage of shoots. At the same time, it is better to give preference to undersized varieties that grow up to 30 centimeters. And what should be taken care of in advance is a high-quality soil saturated with organic matter and mineral elements, as well as drip irrigation.

Waller's balsam, which usually propagates either by cuttings or seeds, will be an excellent option for landscaping a residential area. But the first method is far from suitable for all varieties, very often the plantings turn out to be unviable and quickly die when trying to root them in a new place. Therefore, you need to collect the capsules before they are opened for self-seeding, and dry the seeds for storage until next season. The seed can lie for quite a long time, but after 4 years only 50% of the seeds will germinate, so it is undesirable to delay planting them. Most balsam varieties are tall and only suitable for the garden, but there are a few hybrids that grow into small bushes with compact buds.

They look very nice on the windowsills of primroses, especially Softish and Chinese. These are rather unpretentious plants that reproduce exclusively by seeds, and at home it is first necessary to carry out artificial cross-pollination. Moreover, they grow even in the shade, which allows them to be hung in pots at some distance from the windows. The only condition that must be observed is that the soil must be frequently moistened, otherwise these plants will quickly die.It is especially important to take this into account if the flowers will stand on the windowsill facing the sunny side of the house.

You should also decide on the basis of the rate of development of plants, since some crops grow faster, others much slower. Of the above, the smallest time for growth is necessary for balsam, and the ficus familiar to many, indoor pomegranate, can also quickly stretch. Cyclamens develop rather slowly. Brovallia, kufeya can also be ranked as slow-growing ones. As for storing seeds, it is not recommended to delay for a long time with planting indoor hibiscus and adeniums, since after a short time most of their seeds lose their germination.

How to properly prepare seeds for sowing - the first chores

Before planting flowers, you need to prepare them for sowing, especially if the material was bought in a store without special packaging, which is called “poured into a bag”. And first of all, it is imperative to disinfect the seeds, since they may contain bacteria that can spread after a while to neighboring crops, destroying previously recent plantings. To destroy harmful microorganisms, we use special preparations that can be bought in flower shops. There are also recipes for self-made disinfectants.

Zircon for seed disinfection

Of the purchased substances, Epin is the most popular, which must be used strictly according to the instructions. If there is none, then, according to the advice of flower growers, you need only 2 drops of the drug per 100 milliliters of water, and soak the seed in it for a period of 16 hours to a day. You can also use the phytohormone Zircon, which is enough 1 drop per 150 milliliters, in which the seeds need to be kept for no more than 10-12 hours. Gummates of sodium or potassium have proven themselves well; they make a solution of 0.005 to 0.01% (respectively, 1 drop per 2 or 1 liter) to soak the seeds for 24 hours. Copper sulfate is also suitable for a similar purpose, in its weak solution, no more than 1%, that is, 1 gram per 100 milliliters, the seeds are kept for no more than 10 minutes, otherwise the planting material will be destroyed.

You can hold the seeds in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate for up to 10-15 minutes, for which you need to measure 1 gram and stir it in 1 glass of water, or take a flat teaspoon and dissolve in 600 milliliters. From available tools, you can use aloe juice, it perfectly disinfects seeds, destroying bacteria. And you do not need to squeeze the fresh leaves, but keep them in the refrigerator for 5-6 days, then finely chop and grind. In the resulting gruel, the seed, previously wrapped in gauze, should be soaked. Another way is to use orange juice, freshly squeezed, in which the seeds are kept for at least 3 days.

After soaking in poisonous preparations, the inoculum should be rinsed in clean water for at least 30 minutes, after other solutions, light rinsing and short-term immersion in hydrogen peroxide are sufficient.

In addition to the above measures for disinfection, flower growers use other measures to prepare seeds for planting. Good results are obtained by bubbling, that is, saturating the seeds with oxygen. To do this, they are placed in a container with water, at the bottom of which an air atomizer put on a flexible tube from the aquarium compressor is lowered. Soaking is carried out for 10 hours, and during this time the device must work, saturating the water with oxygen. This accelerates seed germination after planting. Also, the hardening of the seed is often carried out by wrapping it in gauze soaked in a manganese solution and keeping it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If you have purchased granulated seeds, that is, placed in special casings, they should not be processed.

When and how best to plant crops - the basics of floriculture

Unlike garden plants, flowers can be sown on the windowsill almost at any time of the year, if the necessary conditions are created with sufficient lighting, optimal temperature and humidity. However, some crops should be planted immediately after harvesting seeds, which are not recommended for storage for a long time, in particular, this applies to all the same cyclamens. Therefore, the main part of plantings occurs in February – March, and some are carried out in September – October. In winter, it is better to refrain from sowing, since the heating radiators from below heat the window sill, and the cold comes from the window glass.

Planting seeds

For seeds, the most nutritious soil is best suited, preferably based on peat or humus, flower growers, for example, actively use peat tablets for germination. However, as a permanent soil for plants, this option is not suitable, therefore, for the seed, a special soil is needed only until the sprouts with a couple of leaves appear, then the seedlings should be transplanted. Be sure to first disinfect the ground, for which it is poured with boiling water, dried in the oven or soaked in a solution of potassium permanganate. We recommend pouring fine expanded clay on the bottom of the pot or box for drainage and air penetration into the soil, and first scald the material with boiling water.

Planting methods for all crops are individual, but in general, it is enough to sprinkle most of the seeds with well-crushed loose soil to a depth of 3 of their diameters. Some flowers need to be covered with glass and must be removed from direct sunlight, cyclamens germinate even better in the shade than in bright light. The smallest seeds must be mixed with sand for even sowing, for large ones, either separate holes or a groove are made, where they are laid with small intervals of about 3 centimeters. Florists recommend dropping a little water on granular seeds so that the shells dissolve in the soil.

We are happy to grow flowers at home! This is the main motto of a novice gardener. Flowers themselves are very interesting living organisms. They serve as an excellent indicator of the atmosphere in the home, office, in general, in any room in which they grow. Flowers are divided into several types. Which are best grown at home (that is, in small rooms), grown in offices and work premises (in large rooms), for flowers with feminine and masculine energy. This article describes in more detail what flowers you need and don't need to grow at home, how to plant flowers at home, how to care for them and how to make money on them.

What flowers are best to grow at home

Chinese rose
Lavender
Geranium
Violets

In order for the flowers to be healthy and give you positive energy, and not be "vampires" of them, first of all, you must love and treat them like living beings. What flowers can you plant at home? Below are the best options.

"Chinese rose" or more simply hibiscus... Almost any rose is associated with love and beauty. So if you want love not to leave your home, be sure to plant this flower at home. Another flower with love energy is Orchid. Its presence in the house at an energetic level greatly improves mood and cleans the inner world of negativity.

For those who have health and sleep problems in particular, it is worth planting in their home lavender... It not only has a calming effect due to the color, which is considered soothing, but also due to the smell, everyone knows about the healing and pacifying properties. In addition, a small twig can always be split off and dried, making a fragrant pillow, which can later be sewn into a large pillow or put in a closet.

Geranium - small flowers, which in turn have a very beneficial effect on the aura and energy state of people who are in constant contact with them. Citrus fruits, like geraniums, should be placed on the windowsill in the kitchen. After all, they improve the appetite with their smell.

Violets not just colorful flowers that delight the eye. Depending on the color, they affect different energy levels of a person. Red violets give a large amount of energy to all the inhabitants of the room, pink affects the love atmosphere in the house, blue helps creative people in search of inspiration, and white (like all white flowers) very fruitfully cleans a person's inner world of negativity. Violet pots can be placed throughout the apartment.

There are also many plants that do not bloom, which have a good effect on the atmosphere in the premises. For example, chlorophytum and "pike tail" rid the air of toxins and purify energy. Dracaena considered an indicator of the atmosphere in the house and the relationship between residents. If she is sick, this is a clear sign that it is necessary to put things in order in thoughts and at home.

Any ficuses and myrtle bring positive energy into the house and purify the air. In order to attract cash flows, it is worth putting a "money tree" in the offices. If it is sick, and the leaves are crumbling, this is a clear sign of a deterioration in financial situation. When choosing flowers, you should pay attention to your emotions, if you don't like a flower, it is better not to take it, no matter how positive it is.

Above all, growing flowers at home should be fun and enjoyable. So you shouldn't choose those flowers that you obviously don't like. Then it is worth paying attention to the fact that the plants are not energy vampires.

The most basic vampires are any climbing plants. They not only take away all the positive energy, but also attract negative energy, with all the quarrels, illnesses and troubles. True, if you have a private house, or a balcony with a frame, then climbing plants, on the contrary, perform the function of guardians from negative influences from the outside.

Ivy - not only has negative energy, but is also considered a male plant and “survives” from men's apartments and houses. Monstera - it is not for nothing that it has such a name. It draws energy from those living in the house, first of all, children and the elderly. So it is not recommended to put them in a nursery or bedroom. Another plant that consumes energy is Dieffenbachia. It is not recommended to put it in a small room. Can be installed in offices where there are a lot of people. In such places, the plant will perform the function of purifying the air. Fern is not a climbing plant, but it also does not carry positive energy. You need to carefully select the place in which to install it. With a properly selected room, it cleans the air and protects the house from negative energy.

Calendula
Mattiola
Begonia
Nasturtium
Pansies
Scented tobacco

Previously, flowers on balconies were grown only to save themselves from the heat of the sun, but now it is still a good way to decorate your habitat and get pleasant emotions.

The main rules for choosing flowers for balconies are unpretentiousness, large decorative leaves, and also plants should be climbing and fast-growing. Based on these criteria, we have selected several beautiful colors for you.

Calendula - a plant that withstands light frosts and loves a lot of light. In the hot season, the flowers should be watered 2-3 times a week, otherwise the moisture will not be enough and the flowers will disappear.

Mattiola - a plant for those who come home late. It opens its flowers only in the evening, but their aroma is very strong and pleasant. In addition, matthiola can do without moisture for a long time.

Begonia - the same plant that can often be seen in city squares as a decoration.Her flowers are so different from each other that it is often difficult to trace their relationship. Often planted on balconies are Bauer's begonia, striped begonia and Mason's begonia.

If you are thinking about what garden flowers can be grown at home, then nasturtium - the best option. These flowers look very good both in the garden and in the pot. Growing flowers from seeds is very fast. The plant is not very whimsical and can be grown directly on the balcony floor, where there is little direct sunlight.

The most beautiful flowers for decorating a balcony are pansies. If you plant them at the end of winter, then already on the eve of summer, the balcony will dazzle with a variety of flowers. They are very unpretentious to care for, so they usually take root in almost everyone.

You can also grow scented tobacco on the balcony. This plant has voluminous greenery and a strong aroma around the clock. Only two months is enough for tobacco to germinate, but it does not tolerate frost.

back to content ↑ Care and cultivation

Growing flowers requires a lot of attention and effort. Even the most unpretentious plants require watering and careful attention to them.
In one box, not one flower is usually grown, but several. Most often, annual flowers go in tandem with perennial ones, so that they bloom in turn, they constantly delight you with a beautiful picture. It is recommended not to plant many flowers in one box, so that they have enough space and nutrients.
Daffodils and tulips bloom well in early spring. In our latitudes, their bulbs must be dug up, but to the south you can leave them for the winter. Of course, geranium is very suitable for window sills of apartments and planting on the balcony.

Many flowers growing and caring for which does not require high qualifications of the "gardener" can be planted in long boxes about 25 cm high and from 22 to 25 cm wide. peat. This mixture is poured into boxes so that another 4 cm remains free to the edge. It is advisable to put a pallet under the box, since when watering flowers. Water can accumulate and drip down through the cracks. Which is not very good for residents of big cities. The most important thing is to strengthen the balcony boxes well so that they do not accidentally fall. In summary, we can say that the main care of flowers grown at home is watering. So remember to water your plants frequently and abundantly.
