Recommendations to Build a Hanging Plant
The hanging plants are very decorative, especially to adorn galleries, balconies or patios partially covered, but that we know which the best species to suit the heights are and how to care for them.
To make a pot striking pendant is needed to manufacture it with plants trailing edges and much lusher and best foliage in the center. When plants are in hanging wire baskets or plastic racks can be made extend slightly the edges of some species to the sides, they can be covered with moss, and place a plate on the bottom to retain moisture.
To plant them you should use a mixture of peat-based culture that will retain moisture better than the substrates, the same should be moist but not over and you add coal to keep it fertile. If you want to decorate the pot between the wires enter some plants you should do it before filling the pot with the special land.
The plants are suitable for hanging baskets hanging daisies, creeping ficus, petunias, lobelia, and bells, especially in sunny places, and places you can put half shade begonias, ivy, ferns, flower sugar among many other.
Things to Consider When Decorate Your House with Plants
Nothing can replace the effect and properties of plants, even indoors. A common plant growth gives life and inspires joy of living. Plants provide much oxygen the day, which helps concentration. And in winter when heating dries the air, plants need moisture return. In addition, they create a climate conducive for themselves, for their own growth.
Floral decoration
Nor should we neglect the aspect that transmits visual and fragrant plants that stimulate our senses. Another advantage is the relaxation that we can deliver a complete floor: care for their plants, can be a great escape from the stresses of everyday life. The plants require our time, they need our care, we must be aware of them to avoid possible diseases before they spread, are all aspects that will make us forget and turn the stresses and strains of everyday life.
Things to consider:
Lighting
When choosing a plant, consider the brightness of the room where it will be placed. In general, mottled foliage varieties require more light than foliage plants green. And dark leaves, such as philodendron Dracaena or need less light.
Plant Care
From November to February, plants may lack light. They fade and new leaves are small and yellow. Then we have to lower the temperature and closer to the windows, which has been removed from the blinds and curtains, so they will be lighter. Instead, since March, is once again put the curtains on the windows and make a regular rotation of the pots to promote uniform growth of plants and avoid problems caused by excess light, as a gradual fading or the appearance of stains.
We recommend watering and fertilizing more often from March to October, when plants are growing and gradually reduce irrigation and fertilization of October to February, when they are “resting.”
Attention to water
We have to have one thing very clear: we must avoid watering little and often and let the earth dry between watering until the water flow through the drainage holes of the pot and remove excess water accumulated on the plate. However, plants like they were spray on the leaves from time to time. We recommend leaving the water a few hours rest before using to remove chlorine and the temperature of the room.
