Christmas Celebrations

Mother's Day is a celebration that honours the mother within the family, motherhood, maternal bonds and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, usually in March or May.
&nbsp;
Ancient traditions
&nbsp;
Thousands of years ago there were many traditional celebrations around the world for mothers and motherhood.
The ancient Greeks and Romans dedicated many feasts to the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele, respectively. In England in the 16th century there was Mother's Day, during which children would worship in their family church (also known as the "mother" church) on the fourth Sunday of Lent. This celebration also provided a good excuse for a family reunion - usually for the daughters of the family, where they worked as domestic helpers - to be able to see their mothers. In some countries, Mother's Day celebration is still synonymous with these older traditions.
&nbsp;
Julia Ward Howe
&nbsp;
There is an anti-war story behind Mother's Day. In the 1870s, the poet and writer Julia Ward Howe wrote “The Declaration of Mother's Day”. For her and the anti-war activists who agreed with her position - including Anna Jarvis's mother, the idea of Mother's Day should spread unity around the world after so many post-civil war traumas in America and France-Prussian war in Europe.
Howe invited women to gather once a year in churches or community halls, to listen to sermons, present essays, singing hymns, or pray if they wished - all in the name of promoting peace.
&nbsp;
Anna Jarvis
&nbsp;
In recent years Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908 when Anna Jarvis erected a memorial service for her mother at St. Andrew's Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia. After the death of her mother in 1905, Anna Jarvis came up with the idea of creating Mother's Day as a way of honouring the sacrifices mothers made for their children.
The original idea to start Anna Jarvis' Mother's Day was to create a community service day to help mothers in need. She was inspired in part by the tragedies of her own mother who gave birth to 13 children, but only four of them lived to adulthood. Their purpose was to educate women about proper hygiene and to give their children more chances to stay healthy.
Anna Jarvis was a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the American Civil War and set up her mother's work clubs to address public health issues. Together with Julia Ward Howe, they called for the creation of a Mother's Day dedicated to peace. Anna Jarvis wanted to dedicate a day to honouring all mothers because she believed that mother is "the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world."
&nbsp;
In 1908, the US Congress rejected a proposal to make Mother's Day an official holiday. However, due to the efforts of Anna Jarvis, in 1914, Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating Mother's Day, held on the second Sunday in May, as a national holiday to honour mothers.
&nbsp;
While Jarvis initially worked with the flower industry to promote her Mother's Day profile, she was later disappointed with the commercialization of the holiday. She began to believe that companies had misinterpreted and exploited the idea of Mother's Day and that the emphasis of the celebration was on emotion, not profit. She argued that people should appreciate and honour their mothers with handwritten letters expressing their love and gratitude, instead of buying gifts and prefabricated cards.
Jarvis eventually launched an open campaign against florists and patisseries and urged people to stop buying flowers, cards and sweets for Mother's Day. It was opposed to organizations that used the occasion as a way to raise funds for charity.
She launched countless lawsuits against groups that used the name "Mother's Day", eventually spending most of her personal wealth on legal fees. Her perseverance never diminished and she devoted the rest of her life and savings to fighting against the commercialization of the Day. She spent some of her last years in a sanatorium and died, without a penny, in 1948.
&nbsp;
20th century
&nbsp;
Following in the footsteps of Anna Jarvis, some women in the second half of the 20th century used Mother's Day to draw attention to important causes. For example, Codetta Scott King organized a march in 1968 to fight for disadvantaged women and children, and in the 1970s, women's groups used the day to discuss equal rights and access to child care.
&nbsp;
Mother's Day around the world
&nbsp;
Whatever date Mother's Day is celebrated around the world, the essence is the same everywhere. It is the day when the child will express respect and gratitude to their mother, thanking her for their birth and the best care and upbringing.
Find below the different ways in which this day is celebrated in different countries of the world.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
United Kingdom
&nbsp;
It is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent, and has its roots in the earlier years in which separated families would return to their original church. Today the celebration is based on religion while traditionally the girls bake a fruit cake that they will give to their mothers.
&nbsp;
France
&nbsp;
In 1920, the French government began awarding medals to mothers of large families who helped rebuild the population after so many lives were lost in World War I. After World War II, the government declared the last Sunday in May as Mother's Day.
&nbsp;
Spain
&nbsp;
Mother's Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in May in Spain and like all over the world, this day is celebrated all over the country to honour all mothers. Mothers for this special day receive gifts such as chocolates, flowers, cards, jewellery and clothes. Some families dine in a restaurant while others stay in and celebrate the day with traditional, homemade meals.
&nbsp;
Canada
&nbsp;
Mother's Day along with Christmas and Valentine's Day is one of the busiest days of the year in Canada. Greeting cards, flowers and sweets are the most popular gifts to express their love to their mother. Going out to a restaurant, cinema or for a picnic is a way to wish their beloved mother well.
&nbsp;
Mexico
&nbsp;
Mother's Day in Mexico is celebrated on May 10. It is an extremely popular occasion celebrated throughout the country, with special events funded by schools, churches, and political groups. The family tradition is for sons and daughters to come to their mother's house on the eve of Mother's Day (May 9). Mother's Day celebrations, handmade gifts, flowers, cards and children's school presentations are a key element of the festive process.
&nbsp;
Similar celebrations are common all over the world, including Argentina (2nd Sunday in October), Lebanon (1st Sunday in spring), Norway (2nd Sunday in February), South Africa (1st Sunday in May), Sweden (last Sunday in May) and Serbia (two weeks before Christmas).
&nbsp;
India
&nbsp;
In India, Hindus celebrate a ten-day festival in October in honour of their Divine Mother, Darga, and a westernized version of Mother's Day is officially observed on May 10.
&nbsp;
Japan
&nbsp;
After World War II, a version of Mother's Day became popular as a way of consoling mothers who had lost their sons in the war. You will see carnations on display during the March holidays, as they symbolize the sweetness and resilience of motherhood in Japanese culture. In the tradition, the children gave a red carnation to a mother whose child was alive and a white one if their child had died.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
In the United States, Mother's Day continues to be celebrated on the second Sunday in May with Americans giving gifts and flowers to their mother along with their wishes.
Other countries celebrating Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May include: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Japan, Greece and Turkey.
&nbsp;
Mother's Day is an annual holiday in countries such as Costa Rica (August 15, the same day as the Assumption Day), Georgia (March 3), Samoa (second Monday in May) and Thailand (12 August) (Birthday of their queen).
 While dates and holidays vary, Mother's Day traditionally includes sending gifts such as flowers, cards, jewellery and other gifts. Regardless of the distance, you can still let your mom know you are thinking about her with a beautiful gift from our e-shop that will delight her.

Easter has been associated with many traditional customs around the world. The most glorious celebration of Christianity is celebrated all over the world with spectacular events and the revival of customs and traditions.
&nbsp;
Easter is the biggest celebration of Christianity, as we celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord. However, the way and customs that Christians throughout Greece and around the world celebrate Easter are different.
&nbsp;
In some Latin American countries, a replica of a disciple who betrayed Jesus is made, which is then burned with fire or fireworks. In Mexico, thousands of people take to the streets on the eve of Easter, make a statue of Judas and hang it somewhere high in a central spot, so that everyone can pass by, beat it and curse it, thus punishing him for his betrayal. So the Mexicans continue to beat the image of Judas, until dawn it opens and thousands of delicacies and chocolates fall from inside.
&nbsp;
In Finland to celebrate the Easter holiday, Finnish children dress up like witches and go knocking door-to-door reciting a traditional rhyme wishing neighbours a healthy year in exchange for a chocolate egg or coin. Willow twigs decorated with colourful feathers and paper are also carried to drive away evil spirits. The tradition roots from belief that evil spirits and witches used to wander around the streets misbehaving before Easter.
&nbsp;
In the Philippines, dozens of believers choose to be crucified on Good Friday, like Christ. They represent the Divine Drama. They nail their hands and feet to the cross.
Their thinking is that it helps purify them and cleanse them of the sins of the world. The Roman Catholic Church is not keen on the idea and has been actively trying to discourage this practice, without much success.
&nbsp;
On Palm Sunday, a procession takes place in Jerusalem, representing the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. On Good Friday the believers walk on the path that they believe Jesus took before the Crucifixion. Some of them even carry their own cross.
&nbsp;
In Florence, the burning of carriage takes place. This is a construction that reaches nine meters and was created 500 years ago. Carriage is set up in Cathedral Square, but it does not burn with real fire. What is happening is a spectacle of sparklers, during which church’s bells ring joyfully. According to tradition, its burning ensures a good harvest for the coming year.
&nbsp;
Unlike many of Europe’s Easter celebrations, Australia’s Easter tradition is rather recent in history. The tradition began in 1991, with a modern update to a tradition already in existence. Up until 1991, Easter treats were delivered by the Easter Bunny. In 1991, a campaign was waged to replace the Easter bunny with the Easter Bilby. Rabbits are considered pests that destroy the country's crops. Easter baskets once full of Easter bunnies are now full of chocolate bilbies. Chocolate makers donate a portion of their proceeds to funds for endangered animals.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The Easter Festival in Antigua, Guatemala, is the largest Easter celebration in the world. It’s a week-long celebration during which the community commemorates the passion and crucifixion of Jesus by conducting processional marches, carrying floats with large sculptures of Jesus and Mary. Sand and coloured sawdust are painstakingly designed and laid in the streets in intricate patterns for the march to proceed over. On Easter Sunday, the city joyously celebrates the resurrection of Jesus with fireworks and the solemnity of the Lenten season is over.
&nbsp;
The sky's the limit during Easter in Bermuda. To celebrate the holiday, Bermudians gather to fly homemade kites made using wooden sticks and decorative tissue paper, with the bright geometric designs in the sky symbolizing the resurrection of Jesus. This tradition is paired with a feast of codfish, hot cross buns and sunrise services on the beach. According to a legend, a Bermudian teacher flew a kite as a way to illustrate the ascension of Jesus into heaven.
&nbsp;
There are so many spring plants and flowers traditionally associated with the Easter season. Find below some of the most popular and beloved plants and flowers. Each spring flower has its own symbolism, so before you choose an Easter bouquet for your loved one or for your home, have a look at the flowers below to pick the one that suits you best!
&nbsp;
Lilac is the ornamental plant that has been associated with the celebration of Easter. It gives impressive flowering that lasts 20 to 30 days, in late spring, close to the Easter period.
&nbsp;
The white callas symbolize the purity of Christ to Christians and are the most popular flowers for churches and homes around the Easter holidays. Their growth from bulbs in the ground into flowers symbolizes the rebirth and hope of Christ's resurrection.
&nbsp;
Narcissus is often the first flower to bloom in spring, and is known to symbolize new beginnings. When you want to give narcissus, then a bouquet with more than one will help you send a message of joy and happiness, instead of a single narcissus that can transmit misfortune. Daffodils are part of the narcissus family. These beautiful yellow flowers are among the best-selling Easter flowers. Their name comes from Greek mythology. The link between Narcissus - the son of a god and a wood nymph - and narcissism may not be known to everyone. This half-god was so fond of his own reflection in the water that he eventually drowned in it. This would explain why narcissists always look down. Beware! Daffodils can be mildly toxic to cats!
&nbsp;
The Christian tradition wants the poppy flower to grow under the cross of Christ on Golgotha and to receive the drops of the blood of the Crucified between its petals, drops that gave it its crimson colour. Since then, the poppy has acquired its red colour forever to remind all of us of the coming of Easter and the Passion of Christ.
&nbsp;
The tulip is one of the most popular spring plants. Tulips have beautiful flowers in red, yellow, orange and more. They are ideal outdoor flowers for pots, as they do not grow very tall, nor do they form bushes. Tulips, like freesias, can easily create vase bouquets, as they last for several days after being cut.
&nbsp;
The strong aroma of hyacinth can well replace your aromatic space this season! Their enchanting, upright flowers are simply wonderful. Although often grown in pots on the windowsill, hyacinths are surprisingly hardy and suitable for outdoor cultivation.
&nbsp;
Violet, this wonderful annual flower, stands out for its elongated gray-green leaves that contrast with the impressive fragrant flowers in shades of white, yellow, pink, purple and red. We admire the violet that is planted in sunny places for the continuous and prolonged flowering from the beginning of spring until the beginning of autumn. That's why we can cut its flowers, put them in a vase and enjoy their aroma for several more days.
&nbsp;
Behind the colours of the flowers are symbolisms: so red symbolizes blood, purple symbolizes mourning and white symbolizes purity.
 Easter is the most beautiful time to make perfect gifts. Celebrate the greatest feast of Christianity by sending the best wishes with flowers. Order flowers for Easter at anthemionflowers. Send the freshest flowers this Easter that will deliver a lot of smiles.

&nbsp;
Carnation, Mother’s flower
&nbsp;
Anna Jarvis, founder of Mother's Day, used carnations on her first Mother's Day because carnations were her mother's favourite flowers. He sent 500 white carnations to the Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia to share with the mothers. Then, it became a tradition to give flowers on Mother's Day as a sign of gratitude for all her love and care.
&nbsp;
White carnation is preferred because it is considered to characterize some of the virtues of motherhood, purity, faith, love and charity. They also symbolize memory and are used to honour mothers who are no longer with us. Pink carnations represent the endless love and gratitude of a mother.
&nbsp;
Carnation is considered one of the oldest flowers grown and has a rich history. If you want to send flowers for Mother's Day, then a bouquet of fresh beautiful carnations is the perfect gift for your mother.
&nbsp;
Regardless of your budget, rest assured that your mom will love any gift you choose to give her as it will be chosen with care and love especially for her.

Autumn is a time of rich colors. Everywhere dominates the intense orange, the red or golden shades. Fallen leaves dominate by giving their tone to the color palette of the landscape. Warm colors and blooming flowers can particularly satisfy our senses at this time of year.
Many varieties of annual or perennial plants bloom at this time, enhancing our garden environment. Blooming flowers with intense blue or purple colors can be combined with blooming white, yellow and brown flowers creating a beautiful contrast. These flowers and plants can decorate the interior of your home, the balcony, or the garden and drive away the dullness of autumn.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Autumn is the right time to plant tulips, daffodils and other bulbs, but of course do not forget to plant the amazing winter pansies for additional shades.
Pansies will give your garden color from mid-December through January and will continue to have flowers when the spring arrives. Wonderfully versatile and heavy blooming, pansies are perhaps the perfect fall flower. Plant pansy in the fall and in many areas, they come back to bloom again in the spring.
&nbsp;
9 gorgeous autumn plants&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Below are the most popular types of plants you should have in your garden if you are looking to have some autumn-blooming flowers:
&nbsp;
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Dahlias shine during autumn since they are in their element during this season. These multi-layered flowers come in a variety of stunning colors. To enjoy the sight of these flowers during autumn, new dahlia tubers should be planted in August. In February, dead flowers should be removed so that they will bloom well throughout autumn. Dahlias thrive best in wet and dry tropical areas.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Alyssums known as the “carpet of snow”.&nbsp; Grow for its beautiful fragrance, sweet alyssum creeps along the ground creating a carpet of color in the fall. Or use it in containers to spill over the edges like a waterfall. Either way, the effect is enchanting! Sweet alyssum tolerates cool weather well, and can bloom all fall and winter long in mild areas.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Marigolds come in rich yellow, cream, lemon, gold, orange, and reddish-brown colors, creating the ideal flowers to brighten any garden. The two most popular varieties of marigold are French and African. French marigolds are smaller and have small flowers as well. The African variety, on the other hand, is taller and produces large flowers. They are very easy to grow and can be planted almost anywhere and all year round, particularly in the warm areas.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Celosia provides bright yellow, orange, red, and deep burgundy purple accents to your container gardens.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Croton is ideal for the autumn season. A houseplant in cold-weather regions (or a shrub in frost-free areas), it also grows well as an annual. Enjoy its fancy foliage in rich shades of red, orange, yellow, and purple. Look for different varieties to find the perfect croton for your fall plantings.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Flowering Kale, also known as flowering cabbage, is one of the toughest plants for fall. It holds up well to frosty temperatures and looks good all winter long in mild-winter areas! Kale offers great color and texture and pairs well with just about every fall flower.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Aster is a beautiful fall perennial in many regions, but it’s an outstanding annual, too. Flowering in shades of purple, pink, white, and blue, aster is one of the best plants to feed hungry bees and butterflies in autumn.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Dianthus offers beautiful flowers and wonderful fragrances. Be sure to plant dianthus where you can enjoy their great scent! You’ll find dianthus in a range of colors, from white and pink to red and purple, so there’s sure to be an ideal variety for your look.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Calendula may remain blooming throughout the winter, adding golden-yellow touches to the garden.</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
What are the most common autumn flowers?
&nbsp;
Let's talk about some of the most beautiful autumn flowers that can beautify our balconies and make our garden look like a little paradise.
&nbsp;
Chrysanthemum
Its name means the flower of gold, and is in its glory mainly in October. Because of their popularity, you can find these fall flowers in a wide variety of sizes. Look for dainty mini-mums in tiny 2-inch-wide pots or giants that can grow about 1 meter across.&nbsp; Its origin is said to be from the Far East, China and Japan. The Dutch first brought it to Europe where it has been cultivated for many years, while in Greece there is rarely a garden or balcony without chrysanthemum.
Camellia
Camellia is a wonderful evergreen shrub plant, with glossy green-green foliage. Like gardenia, azalea and rhododendron, camellia is a calcareous plant, it requires acidic soil rather than alkaline.
It is preferable to let the soil dry between the watering.
Hibiscus
Your balcony is empty if you do not have at least one hibiscus. The exact country of origin of Hibiscus has not been identified, probably China, and hence the fact that it is also known as the "Chinese pomegranate." Originating from the Far East or not, hibiscus is a wonderful plant that thrives both on the soil and the flower pot - ideal for garden and balcony. A properly developed hibiscus needs a lot of water. Use your fingers to check the soil moisture and water just when the ground is dry.
Anemones
There are many different species of anemones but the ones that offer beautiful color through autumn are the Japanese types. You can find single or semi-double varieties and when it comes to growing them, they seem to do best in a good garden soil with a shaded or part-shaded position. Once they’ve made themselves at home they will readily spread.
Carnation
Another classic value on the list of autumn flowers is the carnation, one of the most popular perennial flowers. The carnation blooms from April to November and there are hundreds of varieties of carnations, in size, and in various shades such as red, pink, white, yellow and even bicolour. Carnation grows better and gives us rich flowering when it is placed in bright and sunny places and in well-drained soil because otherwise its roots may rot. It does not prefer too much moisture. They are resistant to cold plants while they do not withstand hot conditions.
Geranium
We continue the list of the most beautiful autumn flowers with the timeless and favourite geranium. Geraniums are beautiful and hardy plants that will bloom from spring to autumn. They are popular ornamental plants, as they do not require special care to thrive. Plant care outdoors and indoor care are similar. Both require plenty of sunlight, careful watering and light levels of fertilization. Growing geraniums outdoors requires a little more attention to soil drainage and humidity levels. Drainage holes in internal containers help regulate humidity. Particularly resistant to high temperatures and drought, geraniums are also suitable for coastal plantings in cottages as they withstand the salinity of the soil.
&nbsp;
How to take care of my plants in autumn?
&nbsp;
Autumn is the right time to take care of your perennial and annual plants or plant new ones. Plant them as early as possible in autumn so you can have enough time for your plants to develop new roots before freezing conditions of winter.
&nbsp;
Remove the old flowers to keep your annual and perennial plants blooming until the first frosts. Do not fertilize this time of the year to avoid the forced growth of new plants.
With the right gardening plan, you can have a home surrounded by attractive, colorful, and vibrant flowers all year round. Even during winter, you can have a gorgeous and lively looking balcony or garden as long as you order at anthemionflowers.com the perfect plants that bloom during autumn.

The winter is a difficult season for the plants. Cold, frost, snow and hail can cause significant problems in our garden. Very often, adverse weather conditions create marks on the leaves and damage to the shoots, which remain on our plants after the end of winter. In some cases, shoots and branches may break, as well as freeze the roots of the plants, causing damage that we can not repair. Vegetables, small ornamental plants and young fruit trees are most at risk during the frost. Also, significant problems occur in plants that we have in pots or plants that have been transplanted recently and do not have a strong root system.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Find below some tips to help the plants we have on our balcony and in the garden withstand the cold and reduce the damage that can be caused during winter.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<ol>
<li> We do not need to water the plants as often as we watered in the summer. You need to gradually reduce its watering. If you continue to water them there is a risk of mould or disease. A good way to understand when a plant that is dormant needs water is the soil. If the soil from above up to 5 cm depth is dry then you can water it.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
<ol start="2">
<li>Move the sensitive plants to sheltered places on the balcony or inside the house. Prefer south-facing places to protect them from cold, frost and snow. We provide protection on the balcony for example for small fruit trees such as lemon, citrus etc. in a pot, as well as for sensitive aromatic plants such as basil, mint and oregano or for ornamental plants such as ficus and Benjamin. Some more sensitive plants, such as gardenia and azalea, succulents and cacti that have been recently transported, if necessary, move them inside the house to protect them from severe frost and snow. Place them in a bright place, away from radiators and a fireplace that can cause yellowing and drying at the edges of their leaves. Once the cold weather has passed, we take our plants out again in their normal position.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
<ol start="3">
<li>Cover the plants with antifreeze fabrics, nets or special nylon during the winter. By covering the plants, we ensure protection from impending frost, snow and hail. Carefully cover the plants in such a way that they do not break leaves and shoots and do not tie them tightly to avoid poor ventilation.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
<ol start="4">
<li> Avoid putting fertilizer on the plants at this time of the year. Also, avoid pruning them and removing their flowers before the frost to avoid encouraging the onset of new vegetation during the winter. In particular, due to adverse conditions, the tender new vegetation of the plants will be destroyed by low temperatures, snow and hail. As a result, our plant will be stuck in view of spring and its growth will be significantly delayed.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
<ol start="5">
<li> Use compost both in the soil and in pots around the roots of the plants. The compost has the property on the one hand to maintain higher temperatures in winter, on the other hand helps the plants to grow a richer root system. Thus, they can better cope with any adverse climatic conditions.</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
<ol start="6">
<li>Spray the plants with organic algae extract or with a biological mixture of trace elements and amino acids before the bad weather to stimulate them before the frost, snow and hail fall. Algae are rich in trace elements, amino acids and natural hormones, reduce damage to plants, stimulate them and restore them to their original good condition.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
<ol start="7">
<li>Dig your garden to help water it rain to be better absorbed. Clean your garden from the fallen leaves and dry branches. Plant shrubs around the garden so that they create a natural hedge. In addition to the beauty that will offer, it helps to protect from the air.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
<ol start="8">
<li> If you have not already planted bulbs, you can buy from the nurseries or a flower store near you sprouted bulbs with hyacinths, freesias, hyacinths, daffodils, anemones, crocus, lilies, irises, tulips, etc. and take them transplant in your garden or flower beds. You can also buy beautiful grown plants such as violets, pansies, calendulas, etc. and transplant them in your garden or as flower beds.</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
<ol start="9">
<li> Be sure to check your plants at regular intervals for any diseases or infestations.</li>
</ol>
Prune properly and reduce watering. If you notice damage (cracks) in the trunk or branches of your plants, you need to cover them with copper in order to not leave open gates to fungi.
&nbsp;
<ol start="10">
<li> Choose plants that are suitable for your area. Choose the right place to plant the right plants. In the garden areas where there are strong and cold winds hardy plants should be planted. An intermediate solution is creating a windbreak -natural or artificial- to protect your plants.</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
<ol start="11">
<li> If the leaves of your plant start to turn yellow even though you are watering your plant and keeping it in the right place, then it is time to transplant it. Winter is a great season to transplant your plants into larger pots so that the plant is relaxed and its roots can grow while it breathes.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
<ol start="12">
<li> In the winter when you take your plants indoors they are likely to be dusty. But the dust certainly does them no good. On the one hand, dust can cause diseases and on the other hand it prevents the absorption of sunlight. About once a month, clean the leaves with a wet cloth and they will be shiny and healthier!</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
<ol start="13">
<li> The dehumidifier makes the atmosphere at home more pleasant not only for you but also for your plants. In particular, with a dehumidifier it is easier to control the humidity levels in the room, in order to adapt it to the needs of your plants. This way you will reduce mould and other microorganisms that grow more easily when the humidity in the room is high.</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
<ol start="14">
<li>Finally, remember that in winter we stop fertilizing, reduce watering and do not prune. Whatever is needed to be done it will be done at the end of winter, start of spring! Winter is an easy season perfect for gardeners to relax</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
Due to climate change the survival of plants is becoming more difficult nowadays. You need to take action in time because winter is always the most difficult time for your plants to survive.&nbsp;
Find in a flower store near your house great and beautiful plants that can withstand very cold and frost, but there is a way to protect them without much effort and will adorn your balcony and the interior of your home.

How to take care of plants in winter, The winter is a difficult season for the plants. Cold, frost, snow and hail can cause significant problems in our garden.

How to take care of plants in winter

Only few houseplants will bring such a fresh color to any room during the gray winter days, as the cyclamen does. The beautiful contrast between the colors and shades and the green-grayish heart-shaped, shimmering leaves decorates every house with a distinctive charm.

Whatever excursion you may have in the Greek nature in the autumn or winter time you will definitely come across a cyclamen. These are the wild cyclamen, which have flourished for years in the Greek and Mediterranean nature. Cyclamen is a bulbous, perennial low plant that blooms from November to late January.

Varieties

The cyclamen persicum is the most famous and the mother of the cyclamens, providing the cultivation basis for numerous other varieties and subgroups. In total, there are 22 different varieties, which are equipped with smooth, frizzy or wavy leaves. The colors of the flowers can turn out uncolored as well as two-colored and the flowering season may vary throughout the year.

The “aroma cyclamen” and the miniature version, which has been added to the small and large cyclamens, are less well-known. As a rule, winter-hard cyclamen species are garden plants, which is why they are not counted to the indoor species. Nevertheless, they are also kept in rooms all year round. For wild cyclamen, the flowering period begins much earlier in September, and lasts until December. However, there are also some varieties that bloom from the beginning of the spring until the beginning of the summer. These varieties will not be found in Greek nature.

Caring

They hate the heat and that is the main reason why they cannot stand long indoors. Also to be properly maintained, they need moisture. The ideal conditions for these plants are the wet and cool places, which are away from direct sunlight and the sun's rays. A good location for your cyclamen would be a shady balcony or under a window sill.

Planting

Cyclamen may have started out like wild flowers that flourished on their own and independently in nature but they are considered quite demanding plants as a houseplant.

Fill the pot with soil, which is usually mixed with substrate. It is important that the bottom half of the tuber is planted into the soil. Quartz sand or potsherds should be spread on the bottom opening in order to function as drainage and to avoid water logging. A bottom plate is useful to collect excess water. Between the soil surface and the top edge of the pot, a space of at least two cm should be maintained. This ensures that after watering, when the soil may be muddy, it won’t run over the top edge of the pot.

If the transplant is done in your garden, it is good to try to imitate the conditions under which the wild cyclamen thrive. Plant the cyclamen in a shady place, near tree trunks, under the layer of fallen leaves, at a point with limited exposure to the sun and rain. So the sunlight will not see them directly and at the same time protect them from strong winds and rain.

Water

Cyclamen generally love humidity but not much water. Keeping in good condition requires humidity and moderate temperature. If you water them every day, avoid excessive water because you risk rotting their roots. The best way to water cyclamen is to sink them with their pot in a water basin at room temperature. Leave the pot 10-15 minutes in the water to absorb as much water as they need. Repeat the process when you see that the soil in the pot has dried out. You should water it slowly and evenly, in order to better control the water supply and prevent over-watering. Do not splash water onto the leaves as they may react sensitively.

Fertilizing

It is advisable to use a moderate fertilizer, which should be applied along with watering. Cyclamen need soil that is fluffy and well drained, so it is recommended to use some soil improvers such as peat or perlite. During the growing period, between October and April you should use liquid fertilizer or fertilizer sticks every two weeks. If you repot the plant or place the cyclamen outdoors in the summer, the fertilizer rhythm can be reduced by half.

After flowering

Once your cyclamen has finished blooming, it may go dormant for a period of time, usually in the summer, although indoor conditions may confuse the timing. Leaves will begin to yellow and gradually die before disappearing completely.

At this point, you may decide whether to keep the plant, hoping it will revive in the fall or to discard it and replacing it with a new plant for the summer months.

If you want to keep it, stop watering the plant and find a sheltered spot outside with morning sun and afternoon shade. Tip the pot on the side so it won’t get waterlogged, protect it from the rain, and keep the soil dry. You could also keep your plant indoors in a cool, dark location such as a basement until fall. Water it about once a month to keep the soil dry.

In late August or early September, repot your cyclamen in fresh soil and a slightly larger container. Water sparingly until new growth begins - it may take a month. Once new growth starts to emerge, resume regular watering and fertilizing. You should get to enjoy your beautiful blooms again in a few months.

Here are solutions to some problems that may arise:

<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
If leaves begin to wilt or the tuber becomes soft and mushy, you’re most likely over-watering! Too much water is the number one cause of houseplant problems. Always check the soil to make sure it is dry before watering.
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
If your plant has few flowers, your room is either too hot or the air is too dry. Try moving your cyclamen to a cooler room and set up a pebble tray, or mist more frequently.
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
If the leaves are turning yellow, it may be too hot, too dry, or getting too much sun. Try moving it to a cooler spot with lower light and keep it evenly moist and misted.
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
If you begin to notice twisted, stunted leaves, you may have cyclamen mites. Smaller than the head of a pin, they live on the underside of the leaves. You can remedy mites by washing the leaves with lukewarm water, then spraying with an insecticidal soap.
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
If your cyclamen plants start to wither, water immediately and pick off any dead leaves or buds to encourage a recovery.
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
Occasionally mould can develop underneath the leaves, if this occurs, pick off any damaged leaves and flowers, let the plant dry out a little and then water more regularly, but sparingly. Mould is caused by damp humid conditions around the leaf stems or uneven watering and can often be improved in a better drier room.

Cyclamen

Bulbs are perennial plants that have underground storage organs thanks to which they ensure their presence in the same place for years. After germination they fall into lethargy after the drying of the aboveground part and germinate again in the next period.
Because of the striking, colourful and beautiful flowers they produce, bulbous plants are very popular.
&nbsp;
Planting bulbs is one of the easiest ways for flowers with rich flowering, even for complete amateurs in gardening, since they do not need special care to bloom and grow and these are species with a particularly impressive appearance due mainly to the variety of their colours.
&nbsp;
What is the planting Process?
&nbsp;
Planting bulbs is an easy process. When choosing bulbs from the nursery, opt for those that look good visually, are not dry or wet, are normal in size, and are not injured or infested with insects or other diseases.
&nbsp;
In order to have the results we want, they must be planted at the right time. In order to bloom in spring we have to plant them in mid-September to early October and respectively if we want them to bloom in summer we have to plant them in winter.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
In the ground: Dig the substrate well, adding a little fertilizer. Drill holes and place the bulbs and then cover them with the rest of the substrate.
In a pot: If we want to plant them in a planter, we must first place a few pebbles on the bottom to ensure good drainage. The planting depth should be 2-3 times larger than the diameter of the bulb.
At a shallower depth they will germinate but will develop a small root system resulting in them becoming low and sparse. On the other hand, at a greater depth, there will be a risk of destruction of the bulbs, rotting since they will have to penetrate a large layer of soil.
&nbsp;
Fertilization: For the good growth of bulbous plants the soil must have sufficient amounts of potassium and phosphorus, while the high nitrogen content of the soil can negatively affect the quality of the bulbs and reduce flowering.
&nbsp;
Watering: Bulbous plants need watering at regular intervals with plenty of water because their root system is deep in the ground. During the flowering period the amount of watering needs to increase while the watering should be continued after the end of the flowering, until the leaves dry normally.
&nbsp;
Storage of the bulbs: After the plants are dry, take them out of the pots, wipe them lightly from the excess soil and store them in airtight bags, in a dark place, until the next autumn to plant them again.
&nbsp;
Those that you have planted directly in the soil, you can not bother them at all, after you completely cut the dry shoots of the flowers, remember the places where they are so that you do not uproot them by digging to plant anything seasonal during the summer and next spring will bloom again.
&nbsp;
How to use them in the garden
&nbsp;
They are combined with perennial shrubs creating flower beds and planting them in front of them, to project their flowers against the background of their foliage. They are planted under deciduous trees blooming before the leaves develop, thus announcing the coming of spring.
&nbsp;
They can be planted on lawn in spots or small flower beds thus breaking the monotony of the lawn, in rock gardens planters and in vases as a cut flower
&nbsp;
Tip: To achieve that your garden is in bloom for a long time, do not plant all the bulbs together, but for a period of 7 - 10 days between each planting until the end of autumn. But if for some reason you want an impressive result, then plant all your bulbs on the same day at the same depth, in order to achieve simultaneous flowering of all.
&nbsp;
When do we plant the bulbs and when do the bulbs bloom?
&nbsp;
The flower bulbs are planted every year during the spring and autumn period in the garden or in pots on the balcony to give us their impressive flowering a few months later.&nbsp;
Depending on the season in which the bulbous plants germinate and bloom, they are divided into spring or winter-spring and which are planted in the beginning to the middle of autumn (September-October) to start their flowering in winter or spring and the bulbous plants that are planted in early or mid-spring and bloom in summer and autumn.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Winter flower bulbs or fall planting bulbs, are planted in the fall and remain in the ground until they bloom in late winter or mid-spring. Bulbs of tulip, amaryllis, hyacinth, narcissus, buttercup, muscari, freesia, anemone, crocus, cyclamen and more of other autumn planting flower bulbs are waiting for you to make them your own.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The most popular spring planting bulbs as they are called are planted in spring and bloom in late summer: Calla, gladiola, lilium and dahlia. Some spring planting bulbs give us flowers that last until autumn. Summer bulbs are sensitive to low temperatures and should be planted after the winter frosts have passed.
