You shouldn’t think that a flower in a pot or another indoor plant bought in a store will delight you with its growth and flowering without any particular problems.

Quite often, when buying potted plants, you may encounter the fact that the flower begins to wither already at home.

Most often this happens if a person has not prepared in advance and does not know the rules of care.

It is necessary to provide the right place where the plant would have enough light.

You need to find out in which corner or on which windowsill the plant will feel most comfortable.

It is also important to transport the flower from the store to your home correctly. It should not be in stuffy and dark conditions, this can only cause harm.

In addition, you need to carefully approach the issue of transplanting the flower into a new pot.

The soil must correspond to the plant's needs. For example, some use soil with a high peat content, but this is not suitable for every plant.
