Generally, olives do not need special care while impressing with their resilience. The general directive is that they need a constant temperature and direct sunlight. Olive trees are tolerant plants that love the sun.
Proper care depends on whether you plant your olive tree in the garden or in a pot.
With regard to the ideal weather conditions, olive trees need a mild climate with warm nights and plenty of sun. An average recommended maintenance temperature is 18 ° C.
Want to learn how to cultivate the olive tree at your home?

• The <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/blog/post/glastres-epilogi-futa">size of the pot</a> is very important. It must be at least as large as the perimeter of the plant so that the roots can have enough space to grow.
• If you live in cold areas, make sure your pot is located at a point where it is always protected from frost.
• In the summer you can place your olive under the sun.
Watering olive tree
The olive tree, even in the summer, does not need to water frequently. Most of the time the rain water is enough, as the roots of the tree reach very deep and find water. But if you notice the leaves fall, then most water is probably needed, especially in the summertime. Avoid, however, the excessive watering because its roots can begin to rot.
Soil
Olive trees can tolerate most soil types but the native one, is the ideal. Make sure soil is not heavy but sandy and clayey, as in nature. What you should watch out for is to have a good drainage, not too alkaline, and use a good amount of calcium and potassium.
Fertilizer
Olive trees do not need special fertilizer but results will be more satisfactory with a good nutrition regimen. Use a premium slow-release fertilizer with essential minor elements such as zinc, boron, calcium, etc. Nitrogen helps the tree to maintain its bright green color on its leaves while potassium helps in body's defense. Perfectly the fertilizer process is to be repeated twice a year: in the autumn and early spring. Potted plants need more frequent fertilizers.
Pruning
Olives grow very slowly, so don’t require much pruning. However, pinching out young plants can help to encourage them to develop a branching shape. If needed, in late spring or early summer, remove dead, diseased or dying branches. At the same time, thin out branches to allow light into the centre of the tree and remove any branches that spoil the shape. Avoid pruning too hard as this will result in the over-production of non-fruiting water shoots.

Ficus Elastika can grow in shady spots but it will also grow faster if it is placed in a spot that comes in contact with the sun for a few hours a day. The humidity of the atmosphere combined with temperatures ranging from 10-15 ° C is the ideal conditions for it.

Light
Sansevieria prefers medium indirect light. It can withstand full sun and it can handle low light. Keep them out of the direct sun because the leaves will be burnt.

Re-Potting
Re-pot the plant annually. If the roots of the plant outgrow the planter it is time to re-pot into a larger pot filled with a commercial potting soil. Before repotting wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove the dust and cut any blemished or damaged leaves. Prefer clay pots because they are heavy enough to balance the plant and they won’t trap water inside.&nbsp;
To ensure that your Sansevieria grows evenly and the leaves are receiving adequate light exposures rotate the pot about a quarter turn. This will keep your plant growing vertically rather than leaning in one direction.
Pruning
Unlike other houseplants pruning Sansevieria plant does not stimulate growth.If you want to keep your plant in a specific height and size trim it sparingly to keep it healthy.&nbsp;

Yellow leaves. If you notice that the leaves on your plant are yellow, it’s a sign that it’s in distress. This could be due to cold temperatures or over watering. Move the plant to a warmer location and let the soil dry out before watering.
Benefits of having a Sansevieria plant&nbsp;

Sansevieria, care tips and more...

Zamia as a houseplant
Zamioculcas – Zamia plant is a tropical perennial plant native to Eastern Africa, Mexico and Central and South America’s tropical areas. It is a genus of flowering plant in the family Araceae and it is also known as Zanzibar gem, ZZ plant, Eternity plant or Emerald palm. Although not a palm tree, its growth habit is similar to a palm, therefore it is commonly known as cardboard palm or cardboard cycad. They should be fed with palm food.
Zamia is grown as an ornamental plant mainly for its attractive glossy foliage and is a very easy to care plant and requires low maintenance.&nbsp;
The leaves are long, shiny and dark green. The stems of these pinnate leaves are thickly thickened at the bottom. The flowers are produced in a small bright yellow to brown spadix 5-7 cm long, partly hidden among the leaf bases. Flowering is from mid summer to early autumn.
<a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/zamia-plant.html">Zamia</a> plant contains an unusually high water contents of leaves (91%) and has an individual leaf longevity of at least six months, which may be the reason it can survive extremely well under interior low light levels for four months without water.
Growing conditions
Light: Zamia thrives in moderate to bright light with some morning or afternoon sun. A shaded place will be tolerated but will grow more slowly. During summer it can be placed in the garden or the balcony.&nbsp;
Water: If Zamia is in a high light environment it will need to water more often than if it is in a shady area. Make sure not to over water the plant as you can cause the roots to rot. Wait until the soil dries before watering again.
Temperature: Zamias are fairly hardy plants. They may survive outdoors as long as the temperature does not fall below 15oC. Hot temperatures give an increase of leaf production. They are drought tolerant and should be protected from extreme cold.
Cultivation: It may be propagated by leaf cutting: the lower ends of detached leaves are inserted into moist gritty compost and the pot enclosed in a polythene bag. Though the leaves may well decay, succulent bulb-like structures should form in the compost and these may be potted up to produce new plants. The process may take upwards of one year.
The plant can also be propagated by division. It means to divide the plant once it’s a very large size and too big for its pot. Remove the entire plant from the existing container and gently separate some of the tuberous rhizomes.&nbsp;
Caution: All parts of Zamia plant are toxic to the majority of pets and children, so keep the plant away from animals and kids.
<a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/blog/post/katharisma-fulla-futon">Cleaning the leaves</a>: The leaves are glossy so if they become dusty they will lose there shine. Don’t use leaves shine products as this can be harmful. Wash the leaves with water and the natural gloss will come back.
Enemies and diseases
Mealy bug is the most commonly enemy for Zamia. These sticky, white insects live in hidden in the crown of the plant or on the underside of the leave. Remove by hand or with a strong spray or with a combination of horticultural oil with an insecticide.&nbsp;
Crawling beetles can eat Zamia leaves and spider mites can be a problem in poorly ventilated greenhouses.&nbsp;
Diseases mostly caused by high humidity or too much moisture on either the leaves or soil. Black mold can appear on the older mature leaves of Zamia. It can be wiped off with the finger but without correction of the problem it will return.
Brown leaves: This refers to the edges of the leaflets getting brown, dried out or discolored. There are a variety of cultural problems that causes this such as lack of humidity, desiccation from too little water, too high temperatures or poor quality of water and fertilizer.&nbsp;
Zamia plant is an excellent houseplant for gifting to friends, family and <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/peristaseis/epaggelmatiko-doro.html">co-workers</a> as it purifies the air and will spruce up any house or office.

Best hanging indoor plants 

Having one or more houseplants is a great way to spruce up your home and require relatively little maintenance. Proper grooming takes time but keeps plants healthy and greatly enhances their appearance.&nbsp;
Keeping clean <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/blog/post/pos-na-soso-ta-fyta-mou">leaves</a> on your plants will help you keep your plants tidy and healthy.
When you are cleaning houseplants leaves regularly, you are more likely to catch pests and signs of illness early, and early detection makes treatment and cure easier and more successful.
Clean leaves help air-purifying plants and air-filtering plants absorb more light and can perform photosynthesis more efficiently. They can absorb foliar fertilizer more completely and efficiently, as well.
When cleaning plants, it’s important to use gentle, effective methods that remove contaminants without harming the plants.
You can use a commercial leaf cleaning product and follow the instructions on the packaging, or the occasional use of light dish soap water to clean, followed by a plain clear lukewarm water rinse should be fine to keep your plants clean and pest-free.
If you are having problems with pests such as aphids, attacks of spider mites, plant scale insects or mealy-bug infestation, use a solution of water and insecticidal soap or Neem oil.
Using a natural shiner is effective, except for plants that have curled leaves or small hairs; avoid use on such plants. Use a sponge and soapy water to gently wipe leaves for a healthier shine; you can also try using olive oil. Both options will give your plants a nice shine.
Here’s how to clean <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/futa/esoterikou-chorou-fyta.html">indoor plant</a> leaves:
Spray the leaves of your plant with your cleaning solution and then gently wipe clean with your soft cloth or paper towel.
Be careful to apply just the right amount of pressure and resistance to remove dust and contaminants without damaging or accidentally removing the leaves. No scrubbing!
Always work from the base of the stem toward the tip of the leaf. With a “wiper” in both hands you can do both sides of the leaf at once with a soft cloth or paper towel.
Plants with pronounced fuzzy leaves or leaf hairs won’t be able to be cleaned this way. Clean individual leaves with a dry, soft washcloth. Furry leaves may also be very lightly brushed with a soft paintbrush or makeup brush. Again, work from the base of the stem toward the tip of the leaf.
Perform this kind of leaf-by-leaf cleaning once or twice a month. In between, use lighter methods to keep dust off. For smaller plants, you can use a soft feather duster to displace dust and keep your plants refreshed between thorough cleaning sessions.
If you have <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/blog/post/megala-futa-frontida">large plants</a> to clean, you may use a leaf blower to blow away dust and debris and then spray the plant thoroughly with a mild solution of insecticidal soap and water.
Be sure to do this early in the day, in an area with good air circulation so that the plant can dry entirely before dark.
Caution: Do not use of any type of food product to clean plants can promote a great place for pests to live.&nbsp;
If you have plants in the kitchen area, watch out for grease that can accumulate on the leaves. These plants will need to be cleaned more often.
Be careful on the following:
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
Don’t use a plant shine, they can clog the pores plants use to “breathe” and damage some plants like ferns.
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
Don’t spray the flowers; this can reduce the longevity of the blooms
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
Don’t “scrub” leaves, you can damage and bruise the leave surface
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
Keep the surface of the soil clean. After you have finished cleaning your plant’s leaves, check to be sure there are no dead leaves, fallen blossoms, fruit or other debris on the surface of the soil. Clear away any debris that may have accumulated and refresh soil as needed.
</li>
</ul>
Trim off diseased and damaged leaves. The leaves of indoor plants may be damaged by the environment or by pests. Sometimes they fade or become blighted. Sometimes they get old, change colors and die. It’s a good idea to keep these compromised leaves trimmed away to help your plant present a better appearance and to prevent problems with disease and pests.
Leaves that have died or turned completely yellow should be snipped off at the base using sharp, clean scissors or shears. While it is possible to pinch or pull damaged leaves off by hand, it is always wisest to use a sharp, clean implement to avoid further damage to the plant.
Leaves that have small damaged spots or edges can be carefully trimmed to remove the damage. To do this, use very sharp scissors and trim in a way that maintains the natural shape of the leaf. Don’t trim into the healthy part of the leaf. Instead, leave a fine margin of the damaged area.
Deadheading is important. Flowering plants benefit by being kept tidy – deadheading. Always cut off spent blooms to improve the appearance of the plant, encourage more blooms and help prevent disease, fungal infections, and pest infestation.
If you have potted plants that tend to shed pollen (peace lily flower), you may wish to remove the anthers (pollen-bearing parts) as soon as they emerge. Doing this keeps the plant tidy, helps the flower last longer and is beneficial to people who are allergic to pollen.
Cleaning your plant’s leaves will only require a few minutes of your time. However, it’ll have wonderful effects for their health. If you use plants for home decoration, bright and healthy plants will completely change the atmosphere of your place.

How to Clean Houseplant Leaves

<a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/plants.html">Bathrooms</a> deserve to be decorated with lush greenery just like every other room in the house, but it can be tricky to find a plant that thrives there. Plants make bathrooms more pleasant places, improving the decor and air quality. And bathrooms can be good environments for plants, too.&nbsp;
Low light, high humidity, and temperature swings need to be considered when choosing plants for a bathroom.&nbsp;
Consider the following when choosing bathroom plants, and check out the best great house plant suggestions for your bathroom.
LIGHTING
Many bathrooms have small windows, low levels of sunlight or some have none at all, which can be challenging when picking plants. Remember that even low light plants require some light to grow, which is why fluorescent light bulbs - which produce wavelengths plants, are a good idea in the bathroom.
<a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/blog/post/frontida-futa-peripoiisi">HUMIDITY</a>&nbsp;
A bathroom is typically a humid room that provides the perfect environment for plants, and water to irrigate the plants is always close at hand. The bathroom environment is not perfect all the time, and not all plants are well suited for the conditions found in a bathroom. Not all plants enjoy high humidity. Succulents prefer drier conditions and will rot if kept constantly moist. And evergreens and several other plants may develop powdery mildew in high humidity.
Hot running water from showers and baths can cause humidity and temperature levels to rise quickly – conditions which don’t suit many plants, although this explains why some tropical plants do great in bathrooms!
TEMPERATURE
Even though there is plenty of warm, humid air during shower time, the room can get much colder when left empty for hours, especially at night. These wide temperature fluctuations are not ideal for many plants.
SIZE OF THE ROOM
Bathrooms tend to be smaller than other rooms in house, so space for greenery is often limited. Large or tall plants don’t often work in bathrooms for this reason. A better option is to choose plants that can hang from the ceiling, or will trail down from a high shelf. The windowsill is another great location for bathroom plants, particularly as they can enjoy maximum light exposure here.
With these points in mind, let’s look at some of the best bathroom plant choices:
<a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/blog/post/aloi-fyto-omorfias-frodidas">ALOE VERA</a>
The Αloe plant not only is it known as the ‘plant of immortality’ because it is so difficult to kill, it is an incredibly useful plant to have around the home. Aloe Vera juice is bursting with vitamins and minerals, while the gel can be used as a topical treatment for minor cuts and burns, insect bites, dry skin and more.
This striking and healing plant should be placed close to the bathroom window and, because of its low water requirements; the humidity alone may meet most of its water needs!
ASPARANGUS FERN
Airy, lacy asparagus fern loves the humidity of a bathroom. It does well in either moderate or bright light, so a spot by a window is best. Asparagus ferns may look soft to the touch, but the stems have thorns, so beware. Asprarangus prefers bright artificial light or window sunlight and well drained potting soil. Asparagus fern can go as long as two years before it requires re-potting.
Warning: This plant is highly toxic; keep away from pets and children.
<a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/blog/post/tuchero-bamboo">BAMBOO</a>
Bamboo is a fast growing plant, but you can curtail its growth by providing a physical barrier (such as a recessed shelf) or by shaping it regularly. This most Zen-like plant can grow in almost any light- even without any soil! Just place your bamboo to root in a container filled with few pebbles, then fill halfway with water. Change the water every two to four weeks.&nbsp;
Feed bamboo with a diluted fertilizer high in nitrogen weekly during the growing season, cutting back to monthly in the winter. Bamboo needs 6 hours of sunlight daily. Prefers sandy potting, but tolerates most potting soil mixes.
BROMELIAD
Bromeliads produce long-lasting blooms in locations where most house plants do not blossom at all. Bromeliads flower with yellow, pink, or red blossoms in winter and the blooms last for several weeks. Bromeliads include several different plant species, many of which are epiphytic (drawing moisture from the air rather than from soil). These are ideally suited to bask in the humidity of a bathroom, but they also need good air circulation, which can be provided by running the bathroom exhaust fan or setting up a small portable fan to run for a few hours each day.&nbsp;
Bromeliads love bright, indirect light; will tolerate a few hours of direct sunlight each day but don't place them in hot afternoon sun--it can burn the leaves. Depends on genus and species; those requiring soil do well in a succulent potting mix. Feed them with an orchid fertilizer.&nbsp;
CHINESE EVERGREEN
These large-leaved, tropical perennials will thrive even if you forget to water and feed it. While it loves humidity, it will also tolerate dry air, provided you keep it out of cold drafts, which can damage the leaves. It grows up to 1.20m tall, depending on the variety. Chinese evergreen is one of the most durable plants you can grow, and loves low, indirect light; does not like any direct sun. Although the Chinese evergreen prefers the warm temperatures and humid conditions of the bathroom, it’s flexible enough to tolerate other environments if necessary. It needs rich, well-drained potting mix.&nbsp;
FERN
Many ferns make great houseplants. Most can handle the temperature fluctuations in a bathroom, and they love the humidity. Some can even be grown right in a shower stall, where they are regularly soaked. Some recommended ferns for the bathroom include Boston fern, Maidenhair fern, Bird's nest fern, and Button fern. Ferns naturally grow in the filtered light and high humidity conditions of tropical forests. Luckily, the average bathroom can simulate this environment perfectly. Situate a low-maintenance fern in a corner of your bathroom and enjoy
It grows best when placed on a windowsill or in a position which receives lots of indirect light. Humidity and temperatures of between 13 and 25 degrees are also important for your fern to thrive. In the growing months, the soil should be kept moist, but not saturated.
ORCHID
Give your bathroom a luxury touch with the addition of an elegant orchid plant. Some species are planted in soil, while others are epiphytes (air plants) that absorb moisture from the air. Place your orchid on the bathroom windowsill, where the indirect sunlight will provide adequate light but won’t cause leaf scorch; while the high humidity mirrors the flower’s natural environment. It’s also a relatively compact flower making it perfect for smaller rooms, where it can be perched on the corner of the bathtub or next to the sink.
Soil needs: Depends on type, but generally a bark mix designed for orchids.
PEACE LILY (SPATHIPHYLLUM)
Peace lilies are elegant plants that require minimal care. They do best with regular watering and appreciate the humidity in the bathroom. Do not allow the soil to remain dry for extended periods of time. Peace lilies do well in limited light; however, if your plant is not flowering, it may need a slightly brighter location. When feeding, use a diluted fertilizer mix. Peace lilies are wonderfully low-maintenance and filter household impurities from the air. It’s another of NASA’s best plants for air purity, as it helps to filter out harmful benzene, trichloroethylene, and formaldehyde toxins.
PHILODENDRON
Philodendrons are truly tropical plants that love bathroom conditions. There are varieties that vine or trail with stems as much as 20 feet long, and others that grow upright several feet. Both types are relatively easy to grow. If you water this plant too much or too little, the plant will let you know by dropping its leaves. It prefers consistently moist soil. Philodendrons prefer the medium light intensity they would have on the jungle floor. If the light is too intense, its leaves will turn yellow; but if the leaves are widely spaced, it may need more light so you should consider installing fluorescent bulbs. Although this hardy plant can tolerate average humidity, high levels promote lush, shiny foliage. Ideal growing temperatures are between 22 and 30 degrees C.
SANSIVERIA (SNAKE PLANT)
Sansiveria (snake plant) is also known as Mother-in-law's tongue is one of the most low-maintenance plants you can grow, which makes it the perfect choice for a bathroom. It is an easy growing plant that makes a nice alternative to hanging plants. Snake plants prefer bright warm light; avoid direct sunlight. Potted plants are often moved to shady outdoor locations in the summer. Water when top of soil is dry.
This low-light plant also filters some nasty household toxins from the bathroom air – including formaldehyde which can be found in cleaning products, tile grout, adhesives, and even some cosmetics!
SPIDER PLANT
Spider plants like growing in tight quarters so do not use a container much larger than the root ball. They form little plantlets along their perimeter that can be cut off and grown on their own once roots are formed. These undemanding plants can handle bright light, but the leaves will scorch in full sun. They prefer relatively cool (but not cold) temperatures. Spider plant typically grows 50cm wide and 60cm to 1m long in containers.
This hardworking houseplant prefers medium light to work its magic, that is, removing impurities like formaldehyde and carbon monoxide from the air. Water it once or twice a week and you'll be rewarded with new buds that you can re-pot or gift to friends. Soil needs: Loose, fast-draining potting mix
WEEPING FIG PLANT (FICUS BENJAMINA)
If you have the space for a small tree Weeping fig plant is a nice plant to dress up your bathroom. However, it does not like sudden temperature changes. Cold drafts can cause it to drop its leaves, but it should recover. Although it likes humidity, it does not like being over-watered and sitting in wet soil. Wait to water until the top of soil feels dry. Weeping figs prefer bright, indirect light and need more light indoors than when grown outside. Use rich, fast-draining potting mix.
IVY
Ivy, particularly English Ivy, is one of NASA’s top air purifying plants. It can even help you keep the bathroom clean and hygienic by removing mould from the surrounding air! Ivy can climb and scale walls, trellises, or metal pipes framing a tub. Hang it high by the window to save space and let sunlight filter through the leaves. Needing just moderate exposure to sunlight, this evergreen vine enjoys the high humidity levels commonly found in bathrooms.
CAUTION: However, if you have pets or small children be wary of the plants you choose to decorate your space as some houseplants can be toxic to pets and kids.&nbsp;

Best bathroom plants

Plants will help <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/blog/post/glastres-epilogi-futa">spruce up your decor</a> and add a fresh, green touch to any space in your home or office. They are guaranteed to improve the quality of the air you breathe. But if you don’t know anything about plants or have already killed some there are plenty of indoor plants out there that are easy to care for and low-light tolerant.
Here are some of the best common house plants that you can enjoy their beauty and are very difficult to kill.
CACTI AND SUCCULENTS
Cacti and Succulents are capable of storing water in their thick leaves to survive brighter and dryer conditions and come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colours. If you forget to water your plants on a regular basis, cacti and succulents are made for you. In a semi-shady spot, a bi-monthly watering will do the job with succulents, and cacti need much less frequently than that. Cacti and succulents are quite unique in their ability to tolerate bright and direct sunlight, which most species won't like. Place your cacti or succulent next a bright window and they will thrive, provided more frequent watering
SNAKE PLANT (SANSEVIERIA or MOTHER IN-LAW-TONGUE)
Snake plant look like a pile of swords, and they're tough as nails. They seem to thrive on neglect, handling dark shade and harsh, direct sunlight like champs, even when they've outgrown their pot. These are great plants for offices, because they do fine with infrequent watering and icky fluorescent light. There's really only one way to kill a snake plant, and that's by over-watering. They'll rot out from the core. Watering once a month is about right, or every few weeks if they're sitting in hot, direct sunlight. Otherwise, they do best with bright filtered light (but can handle brighter or dimmer light just fine). If they get too crowded in their pot, upgrade it to a bigger pot in the spring.
ALOE VERA
Aloe Vera is a beautiful, rich luscious succulent. With just a bit of water once a month and they'll put up with almost anything, (great to have handy around the kitchen if you're prone to minor burns). Aloe Vera plant is one of the hardiest succulents around. While it does need a lot of bright, indirect sunlight, it only needs to be watered once every three weeks, once the soil has thoroughly dried out. Just make sure it's planted to allow for proper drainage (with a layer of pebbles topped by potting soil in a pot with multiple drainage holes), as this is the most common reason this desert succulent dies.
BROMELIADS
Appreciated for their diversity and rare beauty, bromeliads make great indoor plants. Native to the American tropics, bromeliads are stem-less perennial plants, growing distinctive clusters or rosettes of long, pointed leaves, sometimes handsomely marked. Flowers vary, but most are dramatically showy and colourful. Their luscious, deep greens are suddenly disrupted by a burst of glorious colour! They're fantastic eye-catchers, but they also thrive in a variety of lighting conditions and need just monthly watering.&nbsp;
POTHOS PLANT
A tropical specimen that's hard to kill, and purifies the air. Pothos is nearly indestructible and highly rewarding thanks to a rapid growth. Water weekly and keep it in shady to semi-bright spot. It will love the moistness of your bathroom but will also thrive in your main reception room. Pothos has the power to create a lush effect in any dark and dusty corner of the house, bringing large and generous leaves that fall down or climb up in vines.&nbsp;
ZZ PLANT
There's a reason these are a mainstay of shopping malls, hospitals, and office buildings: they're indestructible. This tropical perennial plant is well loved for its upright, glossy foliage that is vaguely reminiscent of cycad fronds. It is also known as the Zanzibar gem, this elegant and low maintenance plant will bring style and structure to your house. It's perfect for the living room on a side or console table. It does not demand anything else than a bi-monthly watering during growth period. When not growing, it can thrive with less water than that in a shady spot, thanks to its high tolerance to shade. Avoid placing it under direct sunlight. Caution: wash hands after touching the plant, as it's poisonous!
<a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/blog/post/tuchero-bamboo">LUCKY BAMBOO</a>
These little bamboos have cropped up a lot in recent years. They're fantastically fun and playful. Their shapes bring such character, and as an added benefit, they can last! They need no soil, happily sitting with their roots submerged in baths, making it very easy to make sure they have what they need.
CITRUS PLANT
Fresh citrus is one of the greatest smells. Dwarf Lemon Trees are low maintenance and their citrus (lemons) scented blossoms come around with easy regularity followed by their bright yellow fruit. Needing only moderate light and monthly watering, they're an easy addition with their lush greens, fresh scents and a pop of colour.
<a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_el/spathifullo-fyto.html">PEACE LILY (SPATHIPHYLLUM)</a>
Peace Lily is a plant that is not only distinguished by its unusual name, but also by its quite beautiful white flowers. The leaves of the plant have an acute form, and the flowers are similar to mini callas, ready to please the hosts 360 days a year. Spathiphyllum requires little light and water, yet bring oxygen and calm into a space, and though they need little light themselves, the white flowers seem to create light in their own spaces. After the plant has not been watered for more than two weeks, its white flowers may fall a little and start to wither, but immediately after the water intake they will instantly come to life. Growing such a plant, you will not have the need for its constant fertilizer.
PHILODENDRON
The heartleaf philodendron plant is a traditional choice because it's super easy to read, so you'll always know what your plant needs. This plant thrives in bright, indirect sunlight, and if you notice its leaves getting yellow, that's a sign it's getting too much light. It needs to be watered about once a week - when the top inch of soil is dry - and if its leaves start to droop it's a sign you're watering it too much or not enough. It is easily adaptable and can be moved indoors and out without much stress. It is vibrant and rich, and require surprisingly little attention, thriving in almost any room.
RUBBER PLANT (FICUS ELASTICA)
Ficus elastica is one of the safest of all indoor plants with thick, glossy, and leathery dark green leaves. The easiest plant for beginners to maintain, this handsome plant grows well in bright, indirect light and doesn't require very much maintenance. During the summer it needs to be kept moist by misting or wiping the leaves down with a damp cloth. But otherwise, it only needs to be watered once or twice a month. Rubber plants grow quickly, so be sure to plant yours in an oversize pot to avoid having to replant it. If you prefer to keep it small, you can restrict its growth by opting for a smaller pot. And don't forget to fertilize every two weeks during late spring to early fall.

Best unkillable plants

If you are looking for a beautiful indoor plant that does not require much care, then <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/dracaena-marginata-small.html">Dracaena</a> plant is probably the right one. Dracaena is an impressive indoor plant with relatively slow growth that can reach a height of 1-2 meters. It originates from the tropical countries of Africa and it fits perfectly in living rooms and professional spaces, as it has the ability to survive even in places with little light. The small varieties of Dracaena fit perfectly on the mantels, counters and desks while the taller ones make it perfect for adding life to a corner of the living room, dining room, or bedroom.
Like most houseplants Dracaena increases the quality of our lives and is important for our well being. It will help us breathe easier by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, increasing humidity as well as removing toxins to purify the air.&nbsp;
Dracaena plants are easy, low-maintenance indoor plants that will thrive and adapt in almost any environment.&nbsp;
Find below how to grow and care for your Dracaena plant:&nbsp;
Light
Dracaenas grow best when they get 2-4 hours of bright, indirect sunlight every day. They will <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/blog/post/fyta-den-xriazontai-fos">tolerate less light</a>, but growth will slow down significantly and they won’t look as green and leafy. Never place a dracaena plant in direct sun, as the rays will scorch its foliage. Filtered indoor light (such as through a sheer curtain in front of a sunny window) or a semi-shade spot is an ideal location.
Water
Dracaena requires less water than most indoor plants. Always allow the top soil to dry out before watering. Touch the soil with your fingers every few days to see how moist it is. Cold water will shock the plant, so make sure it's lukewarm. Dracaena is sensitive to fluoride, which can be found in tap water, so it’s essential to use purified water when caring for this plant. Root rot is a common problem for dracaenas, so take care not to over-water them.&nbsp;
Humidity
Natural room humidity is fine as the Dracaena is such a hardy houseplant, but it does prefer the higher humidity of its natural rainforest habitat. You can improve humidity with a commercial humidifier or by placing the plant on a tray of pebbles, with water reaching just below the pebble tops.
Temperature
Dracaena prefers temperatures ranging from 18 – 26 °C during the day. Make sure that you place your Dracaena away from cold drafts, heating and cooling appliances. At night, 10–13 °C is fine, but don’t let the temperature drop more than that. Dracaenas do not tolerate cold well.&nbsp;
Fertilize
Feed dracaenas liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer. Choose a well-balanced fertilizer formulated for houseplants. Try to avoid wetting the foliage with liquid fertilizer. Stop fertilizing your dracaena during the dormant winter months.
Toxicity
Toxic to cats and dogs. It is not considered poisonous to humans but should not be swallowed.&nbsp;
Pests and Diseases
Although Dracaenas are easy to grow, they are susceptible to a few pests. Scale insects, mealybugs, and mites love dracaena plants. Use a magnifying glass to check underneath the leaves for these pests once a week.&nbsp;
If your plant suddenly drops a lot of its foliage, you should definitely check it for a pest infestation. Pests can be treated with an insecticide that contains pyrethrum. Wet the foliage with an insecticidal spray every 5-7 days, as needed, until the infestation is under control. Drenching the soil with insecticide can also help to control these pests.
Tip: One of the easiest ways to prevent pests is to regularly wipe the leaves gently with a damp cloth every few weeks. This will also prevent dust from building up on your dracaena, which is a common problem for indoor plants.
Pruning
Thriving Dracaena plants can grow up to 3 meters tall, but you can easily control their height with a bit of pruning. Prune dracaenas in the spring to control the size and shape, if desired. To reduce height, cut off the top part of the plant's main stem with pruning shears. You can cut it back as far as you want. Once you "top" the plant at the main stem, it won't ever grow taller than that. This encourages the Dracaena to get fuller and bushier rather than taller. Also, trim off unhealthy leaves at the nodes, which is where leaves sprout from the branch.&nbsp;
Types of Dracaena plants
There are over 40 cultivated varieties of Dracaena, which are originally from forests in Africa. Find below some different dracaena varieties to choose the right one for you.&nbsp;
Compact Janet Craig Dracaena has solid green leaves with short internodes, making it a shrubby plant that adapts well to low light conditions.
Dracaena fragrant Massangeana or Dracaena massangeana is commonly referred to as mass cane or corn plant, and is widely used indoors. It is characterized by its thick, woody canes and long strap-like leaves. Although moderate natural lighting is ideal, it is tolerant of low light conditions. This type of Dracaena grows slowly, so it can fit in a particular space for a long time without requiring much maintenance.
Dracaena Surculosa “Florida Beauty” is smaller and shrubbier than most other dracaenas, rarely reaching more than 60cm tall. This is also called the Gold Dust Plant or Spotted Dracaena. It can tolerate low light, but you’ll see more variegation with bright, indirect sunlight.&nbsp;
Lemon Lime Dracaena has brightly-coloured yellow and green leaves with thin white stripes leaves. It grows well in low light. With its cheerful leaves, this plant is ideal for brightening up any room or shaded corner.&nbsp;
Dracaena Marginata commonly known as red-edge dracaena or Madagascar dragon tree is may be the most popular dracaena variety. This variety has very thin, strap-like leaves and a skinny trunk. It grows very slowly and may take more than 5 years to reach their maximum indoor height of 1.5-2m. This tree prefers bright, indirect sunlight but will be fine in lower light. They make excellent houseplants because they are drought tolerant and among the more forgiving dracaena plants.
Dracaena Sanderiana Variegata is the same species as lucky bamboo, but its leaf margins are creamy white. It is sometimes grown in terrariums because it remains shorter than most other dracaenas.
Dracaena Reflexa commonly known as “Song of India” or “Pleomele” is an ornamental plant species that has multiple stems. The dracaena is known for its broad shiny evergreen leaves, richly-colour foliage, and thick woody stems. This adaptable house plant thrives indoors or in a partially-shady outdoor area.
 Dracaena is an adaptable, easy-to-care for house plant that does well indoors or outdoors in partial shade. Studies prove that plants at home and the workplace can improve air quality and lower stress. <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/plants.html">Buy plants </a><a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/plants.html">online</a> from our wide range of indoor plants, and bring the beauty of outdoors into your indoor space today!

Plants for Good Luck

12+1 Plants for Good Luck and Positive Energy

Do you want to decorate your home or business with flowers and plants, but don't have time to give them the care they need? Artificial plants and flowers are a good choice for both home and office.
Indoor plants have entered our lives for good in recent years. Beyond a decorative trend, it is also a way to revitalize the atmosphere of the house, to give life to places that need it and to change your mood thanks to the colors generously offered by plants and flowers.
Give a "green" touch to your space with artificial plants that look like real ones. You can use them as the main source of greenery, or place them in addition to real plants.
Moreover, artificial plants are equally a good choice for office spaces or business spaces. Decorate the office vases with fake plants and colorful artificial flowers, the space will look much friendlier and refreshed with plants that you don't need to keep fresh.
Artificial plants and flowers are still useful as they can be placed in places you wouldn't put real plants. An empty corner or a dark spot are not ideal places to place real plants due to lack of light. In addition, wall shelves or your desk are also places where artificial plants and flowers would be better suited, due to space or weight.
Benefits of artificial plants
Fake plants like real ones are the smartest way to decorate your home, office and balcony. Research has shown that even artificial plants can improve the mood and mental health of people who use these spaces. This alone proves that you can create the ideal atmosphere in your home, office and balcony to improve your psychology, using artificial plants.
When it comes to taking care of natural plants, it is a task that can be time consuming. If you lead a busy lifestyle or suffer from plant-related allergies or perhaps lack the enthusiasm for gardening, artificial plants are the perfect solution for you.
Faux flowers and plants are the perfect alternative, offering the aesthetic benefits of live plants, without the hassle of any maintenance.&nbsp;
If you want to add some greenery to your decor, but don't have the necessary time to water and care for the plants in your home, then artificial plants are a great solution. Plants can give your interior a vibrant and fresh new look and now they look just like the real thing!&nbsp;
You can move your artificial plants to another location without worrying if this will disturb their flowering and health. Many times when we attempt to move a pot, the native plant is affected by the change in sunlight and its new environment. This problem does not exist if you have chosen to decorate your place with artificial flowers and plants.
Many times natural plants can harm a pet or a bird that visits our balcony. Some aromatic and herbaceous plants are toxic to the digestive system of these animals and most of the time we find out when the animal has already been affected by our plant. We recommend artificial plants, so you can be sure that your pets are not at risk of poisoning from a natural plant in your pots. With artificial plants, you don't have to worry about such incidents, whether your pet is curious about the new pot you installed or not.
Fake indoor plants will not be damaged by intense heat, nor will they freeze from freezing temperatures in winter. They are completely durable and allow you to enjoy your winter-summer holidays comfortably, without worrying about leaving the pot on the balcony. You'll also never again have to look for a neighbor to water your pots or build makeshift irrigation systems if no neighbor is willing to serve you.
Another key advantage of artificial plants, especially in the summer season, is that they do not attract insects. Insects and their larvae often find shelter under plant leaves and often feed on them. If you have plants on the balcony that have become a haven for insects, you will have a hard time getting rid of them. You will need to spray with special solutions, clean the plant by hand and sometimes prune the insect-infested area. On the contrary, fake plants stay clear of annoying insects and let you enjoy an evening on the balcony and relax.
Fake plants definitely have a lower purchase cost than real ones and of course they don't cost you extra in the future to maintain them. You will not need to buy soil and pots for transplanting, nor fertilizers and vitamins. You buy fake plants once and you have them forever!
Finally, another key advantage of artificial plants is that you don't have to worry about watering them during your trip. Your artificial plants will be waiting for you to return, maintaining their color and vibrancy even if you are away for several weeks! One less thing to sort out before your trip, therefore.
Useful tips for buying an artificial plant
We have some useful tips for buying an artificial plant. The first thing you should think about is its appearance. An empty plant with few leaves will look less realistic than a full one. As far as colors go, a plastic plant with leaves in different shades of green could really look like the real thing. It's also a good idea to keep color variations in mind when considering flowering plants, since you'll likely want the colors of the flowers to match your decor. Finally, the material is also an important element, as it plays a decisive role in the appearance of the fake plant.
How long will artificial plants last?
Artificial plants placed outdoors may not last as long as those placed indoors (due to weather, rain and UV rays from the sun) and how often the artificial plants are maintained (cleaned, etc.). So be sure to choose artificial plants that have been produced to the best standards and are extremely durable.
Decoration with artificial plants
Artificial indoor plants are a fantastic decoration option for any home. In addition to not needing constant care, they can give a much-desired touch of natural scenery and relax you from the intense everyday life.
Looking for hardy potted plants? You might even start thinking about artificial plants as a solution. Besides, they look like the real thing!
Artificial plants and trees for your home can transform it in ways you can't imagine. That's why we made this article to give you room-by-room decoration ideas with artificial plants and help you change the interior of your home in a smart and affordable way.
So let's see which artificial plants and trees suit every room in your house and how to complement the pleasant atmosphere.
Artificial indoor plants for living room
The living room is the most chic room in the house. Therefore, it needs to be surrounded by plants with a corresponding style. So for your living room we recommend Dracaena and Philodendron, two timeless aesthetic fake plants that will make your living room more beautiful, relaxing and elegant.
The Dracaena is an excellent addition to side tables next to a sofa, while the Leaf Tree can be placed next to the TV cabinet or even in an empty corner of the room, e.g. next to floor lamps, decorative baskets and stone floor figurines.
Artificial potted plants for bathroom
For your bathroom, we suggest a more exotic touch with a strong contrast of green and purple. Dieffenbachia and Calathea leaves are what your bathroom needs, to give you the feeling of showering on some exotic pedestal or under a gurgling waterfall. Complete the experience with aromatherapy and bath salts, allowing yourself to live the ultimate exotic moment in your own home.
Artificial indoor plants for the bedroom
Caladium and amaranth artificial indoor plants are excellent suggestions for bedrooms. Their low height and bright green leaves are uniquely suited to modern minimal white bedrooms, but also bedrooms with warm shades such as salmon, pink and coral. But they could also perfectly frame a more masculine bedroom in shades of gray, blue and ice white.
Artificial plants for the hall
Many times the hall of a house is the most empty and indifferent room. But things don't have to be this way. A Shefflera, a Bucarnea or a Ficus will bring life to your hall with their color and make the entrance to your home more interesting. You can illuminate your artificial plants in the hall with LED lights and make the space even more romantic in the evenings.
Tall artificial plants for balcony
Our house does not end with the rooms. Our balcony is an extension of our home and it deserves to be properly designed. With a Bamboo tree, a Chikas or a Daphne you can have a wonderful balcony that does not require care. In fact, these artificial plants for the balcony will immediately give you the privacy you need, without waiting years for any of the plants in your pots to grow.
To decorate a house or a workplace with artificial plants is clearly a much simpler case, since artificial plants do not need continuous care, nor are they going to acquire damage from their natural environment. You can choose tropical or edible artificial plants without restrictions and get a themed terrace of your liking.
Some ideas for themed decorations are:
Mediterranean&nbsp;
Tropical&nbsp;
Decor with Japanese plants
Classy decoration
Cacti and succulents
Vertical garden
Exotic palm trees in your home
Add a tropical touch to your home with a beautiful artificial palm tree. These trees feature full, lush leaves that give them a very realistic look and feel. They are quite tall, making them a welcome addition to any room!
Of course, you don't need to water a fake plant, but they do need cleaning now and then. You can easily wipe off the dust with a dry cloth and before you know it, the leaves will be back to a bright green color and looking great!
Artificial flowers will offer your space unique elegance and vitality that have nothing to envy in beauty from natural flowers. They are made of excellent materials, which ensures a realistic and beautiful appearance. Add touches of color and vibrancy to the home and office with exquisite artificial flowers. Place them in a beautiful vase or basket and combine them with candlesticks, wall frames or other table decorations
Fake plants can give a completely different dimension to a space, beautifying it and creating a wonderful atmosphere of relaxation. Place artificial plants in small pots on tables or hang them on the walls. Place them next to books, in the bathroom or in bare corners of your home, for a harmonious decorative approach.
Artificial plants give you complete flexibility while at the same time giving you all the experience of having indoor plants in your home.

Fake plants like real ones are the smartest way to decorate your home, office or balcony. Research has shown that even artificial plants can improve the mood and mental health of people who use these spaces.

Artificial Plants for decoration

We believe that choosing the right pot that will suit your plants and enhance the overall aesthetic of your space is important. Remember to choose pots and planters that suit the specific needs of your plants, the environment they will be placed in, and your personal style preferences. Proper care and maintenance will ensure the health and longevity of your plants.
Plant pots are essential elements for gardening and adding greenery to indoor and outdoor spaces.
Here are some information to consider when choosing a pot for your plants:
Sizes and shapes: Discover pots in different sizes and shapes to accommodate different types and sizes of plants. Smaller pots are suitable for herbs and small plants, while larger pots can be used for trees or large flowering plants. Make sure the pot or planter is the right size for your plant's root system and growth potential.
Material: Pots are made from a variety of materials, including plastic, ceramic, terracotta, metal, and even wood. Choose a material that suits the needs of the plant and the climate. For example, terracotta is porous and breathable, while plastic retains moisture well.
Style and Aesthetics: Consider the overall aesthetic of your garden or interior space. Pots and planters come in different colors, shapes and styles to complement different types of decor such as modern, rustic or minimalist elegance etc. Choose a planter that matches the style of your space and adds aesthetics. Pots can be decorative and add elements to the garden or interior space.
Drainage: Proper drainage is vital to plant health. Most pots have drainage holes in the bottom to allow excess water to escape, preventing overwatering and root rot.
Pots without drainage holes: Sometimes pots without drainage holes are preferred for their aesthetic simplicity, although we do not recommend this option for beginners as watering mistakes can be difficult to correct.
Whether you choose to use drainage pots or not, we always recommend using a layer of stones, pebbles, or other solid materials at the base of the pot for proper drainage of your plant. A drainage layer allows the plant's roots to access oxygen, and a lack of drainage can damage your plant.
Self-watering pots: Plants in self-watering pots require careful watering of the soil after they are first planted. This is important because the plant roots must first grow in the pot. Water your plant for two to four weeks before using the tank. During dormant seasons or for plants that have slower growth habits, consider watering for a longer period of time.

We believe that choosing the right pot that will suit your plants and enhance the overall aesthetic of your space is important.

Decorating your home with indoor and outdoor Christmas lights offer you a state of calm and they look beautiful inside and outside the house. They are great for making your home look more elegant and warmer, while also, if you use them correctly, you will have a highly impressive design. Use them and add sparkle to your home, entering the Christmas mood!
Combining one or more styles will have a dazzling result that will be admired by everyone, friends, relatives, but also in general whoever visits you during these festive days.

Front door
A Christmas wreath outside the front door will put each of your guests in the festive mood of your home. Hanging a fresh evergreen wreath decorated with pinecones, fragrant Christmas greens, silver and gold accents, dried fruits and more ornaments will bring the spirit of the season to your home. You can also hang Christmas garlands from your front door to welcome guests to your home. Do not be afraid to put garlands on the arm of the stairs or along some furniture.

Christmas tree
Perfect for any home or office, real or fake, small or bigger decorated Christmas trees bring the best symbol of the season to any room. Adorned with flowers, silver/gold holiday ball ornaments, and other festive decorations, beautiful Christmas trees offer a delightful way to convey your warmest season's greetings. Sweets are an important part of Christmas so you should put ornaments that refer to sweets on your tree for a more playful and modern result.
&nbsp;
Christmas shades
When it comes to Christmas home decoration the first thing you need to do is choose a color scheme. You can use a traditional Christmas red and green color palette or if you want a more modern look, choose silver and gold. Add blue decorations for more intensity in your space and if you want a more elegant Christmas feeling, then the shades of white, like the snow, are the ideal choice.
&nbsp;
Flowers
Flowers are always a classic choice for decorating your home. It is a simple way to decorate and add a touch of nature and freshness to any table or space.
A bouquet of fresh flowers, a stunning arrangement in a modern or vintage style, a festive branch or other rustic elements beautifully placed in a vase or a plant in bright shades will add a little of the Christmas spirit to any room.
&nbsp;
Windows and curtains
If you have balcony doors, you can hang small wreaths with ornaments and ribbons.
If you have windows, place small trees, various decorations and candles on the windowsill. Show everyone that Christmas has come, even to those who look at your home from the outside.
For the windows, the hanging decorations of all kinds have a timeless value, from red flowers to bright stars and red wreaths, whatever you choose to be sure that you will give incomparable warmth to the space.
Don’t forget to hang socks on your curtains, festive lights or holiday garlands.
&nbsp;
Candles&nbsp;
Candles are a key element of decoration in all seasons. But mainly during the holidays, their flame creates a mystery and warmth. There is nothing more beautiful than candlelight. So put in different corners of your house and on your tables many candles decorated with balls, cinnamon, mistletoe, pinecones and ribbons.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Dinner table
Beautify your holiday dinners with festive Christmas centerpieces with dried fruits, cinnamon sticks, pinecones and candles and fill your home with beautiful scents.
Use Christmas towels or festive napkins in white, red and green on the table.
A beautiful floral arrangement with candles will spruce up the dinner table while at the same time will create a warm atmosphere and mood.
Choose the decorations you like and add some modern and playful notes to the whole house. Holiday balls, ornaments and more beautiful elements will add a festive touch on your table.
