Right before the first snow appears each year, the house becomes full with all my indoor plants that I bring inside in preparation for wintertime. It is very warming to stay inside the house during the cold winter season when you find yourself in a colorful, scented ambiance.
I am very fond of plants since the beginning. Maybe because my mother was so fond of it too. Plants were grown everywhere, inside the house and in our attractive backyard. My mother also had favorites among her plants, which she'd shelter in the house every wintertime. Back, then, it never fails to see roses in the garden, a willow tree and a scenic landscape in the backyard that she nurtured so diligently. The feelings that both, me and my mother have are mutual with regards to the plants. We consider them as friends that needed our help to get out of the cold, and we did. The ficus tree at home has been with me for more than twenty years already. Now that it has grown old, he's just like a friend that has grown old too. At the moment, he looks enormous though we can still move him and out of the house. He stays out when its summer and in when its winter.I am one of those 'nutty' people who talks to her plants and, they respond with healthy color, blooms and cheerfulness on dreary days.I really love having them around me in the house. With the plants around, the place has become tranquil and in accord, and each time my grandchildren visits here, they join in the caring for the plants as well.If we cannot learn to care for the living and growing things, how can we learn to care for each other?So I use them as a teaching tool to learn how to care for something that depends on them to live.
There are locations where plants can be outdoors everyday for the whole year and can withstand any weather condition. If you live there, then good for you. If your plants are weakening because of the changes in the weather, do not be troubled.Here, where the winters can be brutal, if we want to save them, we have to bring them in from the harsh conditions of the season.
Aside from the fact that they brighten up the insides of the house, they help clean up the air. Aside from being used to adorn indoors, plants as studied by NASA are helpful in cleaning the air indoors as well as eliminating gases that might endanger human lives.They take in our carbon dioxide, and exhale oxygen for us to breathe. Formaldehyde inside houses can be rid of by putting philodendron or spider plants inside. These are the plants that are almost certain to do the job. It was verified that Gerbera daisies and chrysanthemums can take out benzene from indoor air. The plants that were also highly effective to rid the indoor air of impurities are Dracaenas, Peace Lilies, and Golden Pothos.
Plants when kept indoors, need us humans for them to survive. Also, in order for them to help in the household by eliminating the impurities in the air, a well-nurtured plant can only do it so take care of their needs as well.Some tips on keeping plants healthy are: provide the basic moisture requirements for the particular species of the plant. A good moisture meter can help you determine the basic moisture requirement of your plant. In this way, you won't overdo watering your plant or the other way around. We have a frog to do that, not the real frog, though it actually croaks. It croaks when the plant requires some water. Supply your plant's needs by using the manufacturer's instructions. Typically, my plants get to rest for nearly two to three weeks and by then, I let them out and feed them what they need.Make sure they get adequate light and ventilation, and humidity. Since moisture is absorbed by the heat inside our house during winter, I use misters or water fountains on the plants to give them the moisture they need.
When plants are given the proper care and affection, it can weather any condition. In addition, devices such as moisture meters and misters are a very big help in their sustenance. Moreover you get many benefits, a healthier environment with a nice view.
