 CARING FOR FLOWERING PLANTS

• Most plants do best near a sunny window.
• Water plants only when the soil feels dry to the touch, but don’t over water. Make sure water drains freely from the hole in the bottom of the pot, and the plant doesn’t sit in a saucer of water.
• Blooms will last anywhere from a week or two to a couple of months, depending on the variety. 
• Fertilizer is not necessary.
