WHAT DO THEY ACTUALLY NEED??
A SUNNY SITE
Sunlight is an essential factor that plants need to bloom a flower. Most of the flowering plants require 6 to 8 hours of bright sunlight in their growing season to complete their blooming. At the same time, one should take necessary care not to keep delicate plants under direct sunlight for a long time, as it may cause the plant to dry up. Understand that the sunlight requirement of each plant is unique.
RICH SOIL
Rich soil is very essential for the healthy growth of a flowering plant. A soil that is not too sandy or too sticky- that’s the correct consistency of soil required. And it is highly advised you to check the pH level of your soil as too much of acidic nature can actually destroy your plants.
ADEQUATE WATER
Watering is really important for the growth of flowering plants. Start by watering daily for the first week to keep the moisture of soil, but remember not to keep them soggy. After seven days, you can reduce watering the flowers to just a few times each week to promote deep root growth. And if you have layered your pots with sandy soil, do water them often as it drains too quickly.
LITTLE ORGANIC MATTER
Generally speaking, any plant requires around 20 mineral elements or nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, calcium, phosphorous etc. to grow flowers and fruits. But the good news is that these elements are absorbed naturally in your soil. But if you want to add on the richness of your soil, then pour in some organic matters that are widely available in the market today.
