Being surrounded by greenery and flowers elevates our sense of well-being and promotes peace and serenity. Therefore, it’s no surprise that we love to fill our homes and office spaces with indoor plants, bringing the outdoors in and enjoying all the benefits that plants bring to our lives.

So, if you are caring for indoor plants for the first time, our helpful guide will provide you with the necessary information to allow your green friends to thrive.

How much light do indoor plants need?

The amount of light really depends on the plants you are growing, so we suggest doing research on the specific plants you are growing. Normally, indoor plants with foliage need roughly 8 hours of light per day where succulents and cacti need continuous, daily sunlight.

How much water should I give my indoor plants?

One of the common reasons that indoor plants die is due to overwatering or underwatering. Keeping the potting soil moist is very important but make sure soil it is not too wet or too dry. Make sure the plant pot has drainage holes in the bottom of the pot.

How should you prune your indoor plants?

There is generally no need to prune your indoor plants however if you notice your plant getting a little tatty, then a very gentle pruning can be done. For blooming plants, you may need to pull away some of the dead flower head from time to time deadheading. This keeps them blooming and prevents potential diseases.

How long will indoor plants live?

On average, an indoor house plant will live from 2-5 years. After that, plants normally stop thriving and it’s best to invest in a new plant.

As you can see, it’s so easy for you accommodate just about any type of plant throughout the year, by creating an environment in your home in which it will thrive!

For more information on light, water, air temperature and indoor plant fertiliser, feel free to get in touch with us and we would be happy to answer any questions that you might have.

We love springtime here at Balla Florist. As the temperatures start to rise, lots of stunning flowers become available.

There is nothing like the beautiful colours and fresh fragrance provided by spring flowers.

Wildflower and mixed bouquets are very popular in spring season, as they exhibit the lush natural floral diversity of this time of year. But there are also numerous beautiful flowers that bloom during spring. Here are some of the most popular spring flowers that are renowned for their beauty, fragrance, and special meanings.

Tulips

Tulips are one of spring’s most commonly found flowers are symbolic of perfect love and eternal life. The symbolic meaning also changes with the colour of the tulips. Yellow tulips symbolise cheerful thoughts and purple represents royalty. Red tulips represent a declaration of true love where white tulips symbolize heaven, newness and purity. These gorgeous blooms stand strong on their own, and don’t require filler flowers. Tulip bouquets evoke grace and elegance, making them a superb addition to any home or office.

Ranunculus

Ranunculus create a calm, relaxing ambience so whether you are a bride-to-be seeking a stunning bouquet, or someone who just loves fresh blooms to brighten up your space, Ranunculus are a great choice. Their rose-like blossoms feature layer upon layer of tissue-thin petals, in colours that range from cream, pale yellow to apricot, pink, orange and red. They are perfect for pairing with other spring flowers and are a great choice for those looking for a flower less commonplace than roses.

Roses

Although roses are very popular all year round, spring spray roses are not afraid to be bold. Available in a wide range of bright colours including shades of orange, purple and neon pink they fit into any palette.

Nothing welcomes the arrival of spring and brightens the home quite like a bouquet of freshly cut spring flowers. Their bright, cheerful colours will lift your mood, and their sweet fragrances will please your nose! Fresh, seasonal spring flowers are sure to brighten you day
