FAQ: Year-Round Indoor Flowers
How do I encourage my indoor plants to keep blooming?
Consistent care is key. Ensure your plant gets enough light, as this is the primary trigger for flowering. Fertilize regularly during the growing season with a fertilizer higher in phosphorus (the middle number, like in 15-30-15). Finally, "deadhead" or remove spent flowers promptly to encourage the plant to produce new ones.
What if my plant stops flowering?
Many plants have natural, brief rest periods. If your plant stops blooming but still looks healthy, try moving it to a slightly brighter location. You can also check if it has become "pot-bound" (the roots have filled the entire pot). Repotting into a slightly larger container can often stimulate new growth and flowers.
Is it okay to buy these plants from a grocery or big-box store?
Absolutely. Many of these plants, like Anthuriums and Orchids, are widely available. When buying, inspect the plant carefully. According to the Penn State Extension, you should look for healthy, vibrant foliage with no signs of pests (like webbing or white spots) or disease (like yellowing or mushy leaves). A plant with lots of unopened buds is a great sign, as it promises a long-lasting display.
