Fishbowl Terrarium from Hanging Basket Florist

Indoor Plants

13 January, 2012

Indoor plants are a great way to brighten up a living area, however many people have trouble keeping indoor plants alive. The biggest cause is usually a poor selection of plants to begin with.

Most plants need sunlight to grow well; few are suited to the low light conditions indoors, particularly flowering plants. Some of the better choices of flowering indoor plants are Spathiphyllum (Madonna Lilly or Peace Lilly) and Phalaenopsis Orchids (Moth Orchid, above right). These plants do well in a bright room, as close to a window as possible so that they can receive as much sunlight as they can. The Spathaphyllum do not like to dry out between watering – depending on local conditions they will typically need watering every other day.

Twice a week the  Phalaenopsis Orchids need to be given a lot of water and then be allowed to drain. The flowers on the Phalaenopsis Orchid will last for months on the plant, when they have finished blooming just cut off the flowering stem above the first node to encourage more flowering spikes.

Terrariums (above) are a good way to keep plants indoors. With a few small plants in a glass bowl they are little gardens for the indoors and make an interesting focal point in a home. These fish bowl terrariums are much more suited to a modern home than the old rectangular shapes we remember from the 80s. The best way to keep terrarium plants happy is again to give them as much exposure to natural light as being indoors will allow and to not overwater. All these terrariums require is a good misting from a spray bottle (atomiser) rather than actually pouring water into them; however they do need to be sprayed every day.

Hanging Basket Florist have beautiful plants, both for indoors and out, available for delivery in the Rockingham, Kwinana, Warnbro area.
