Flowers decorate the windowsill in almost every home. In addition to performing a decorative function, plants allow you to breathe easier within four walls.

However, many specimens bought in the store most often die when they end up in inexperienced hands, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, an agronomist, and a landscape designer.

Potted mini roses

Compact bushes, decorated with a scattering of small roses of different colors, are often purchased as an alternative to a traditional bouquet, but their life, unfortunately, is not much longer than roses collected in a flower arrangement.

Experience shows that as soon as the life cycle of the flower stalks comes to an end, the flower slowly passes away.

Violets

According to professional flower growers, the violet deserves to take its place in the TOP of flower “pests”, since it reacts sensitively to any fluctuations in temperature, humidity and lighting.

Ficus Benjamina

What can we talk about if the plant immediately starts shedding its leaves as soon as it is moved to a new location? Drafts also pose stress for the Benjamin ficus.

Before you buy a flower, think several times whether you are ready to limit yourself by keeping the windows closed for the sake of a potted flower.
