Is giving red roses a romantic gesture?

Plants need three essential things to grow and thrive: plenty of sunlight, soil that is jam-packed with nutrients, and naturally, water. Let us show you how simple <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/blog/post/frontida-futa-peripoiisi">plant care</a> can be!
&nbsp;
Just as nature intended
&nbsp;
Watering plants is not always easy. Water them too little and they will dry out; water them too much and you run the risk of waterlogging. This is why we developed an intelligent <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/plants/epaggelmatikoi-choroi.html">watering system</a> that allows plants to receive just the right amount of water they need – just as nature intended.
&nbsp;
Simple, efficient, one of a kind!
&nbsp;
Our intelligent irrigation system imitates a natural environment for plants. Our LECHUZA-PON plant substrate supports plants and gives them all the important nutrients they need. It also regulates the supply of water to the roots so that the plant always receives the right amount of water without the risk of waterlogging.
&nbsp;
Magnificent plants that thrive!
&nbsp;
Even without a green thumb, our irrigation system lets you enjoy an abundance of green leaves and colorful flowers just as nature intended. All you need to do is ensure that there is enough water in the reservoir after repotting.
&nbsp;
Water once, then sit back and relax!
&nbsp;
The water reservoir in our irrigation system is easy to fill from the outside. The water level indicator always keeps you informed of the amount of water in the planter. And once the reservoir is full, you can sit back and relax, or even go on vacation. Your plants will receive all the water they need.
&nbsp;
How the irrigation system works
&nbsp;
Classic system
Simply place the plant with LECHUZA-PON in the planter liner or directly in the planter. After the growing-in phase, your plant will receive all the water it needs from the reservoir.
&nbsp;
Planting
Cover the separator with the supplied LECHUZA- PON substrate. Set the plant and LECHUZA-PON in the planter and fill the planter with soil.
Growing-in phase
Over the next 12 weeks continue to water the plant as you normally would, pouring water “onto” it from above. Once the growing-in phase is complete, the plant is able to care for itself.
Watering and dry phase
Following the growing-in phase, when watering the plant be sure to fill the water reservoir via the water supply shaft until the water level indicator reads “max.” Now your plant will care for itself, thanks to LECHUZA. If the water level indicator reads “min.,” this indicates the start of the “dry phase” for the plant; this phase can last 2–10 days. After each dry phase, refill the water reservoir to “max.” via the water supply shaft.
&nbsp;
Water level indicator: Keeping the overview
Thanks to the water level indicator you always know whether you need to water your plant or not.Wait until the indicator is at „min.“ before rewatering. Does your plant prefer a drier climate? Then simply wait a few days before refilling the reservoir. The supply shaft makes it easy to fill the reservoir with water or fertilizer.
&nbsp;
Drain plug: Practical for outdoors
For outdoor use simply unscrew the drain plug. An overflow ensures that enough water remains in the water reservoir. Excess water runs off and drains via the overflow. This protects your plants from becoming waterlogged even when it rains.
&nbsp;
Wick watering system: No repotting necessary!
Quick and simple, the wick allows you to keep <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/blog/post/mikra-fyta-esoterikous-chorous">small plants</a> in their pots when planting them in the planter.
&nbsp;
Gather your grow pot and wick.
Insert the stick into the grow pot from below.
Place the pot in the planter. Water and enjoy.
&nbsp;
Wick system - perfect for smaller plants
For plants with shorter roots that do not reach into the water reservoir, planters with an open plant liner with a wick are suitable. Water and nutrients stored in LECHUZA-PON reach the roots via the wick by capillary action and ensure a balanced supply of the plants. The All-in-One-Sets are, thanks to the included plant substrate LECHUZA-PON immediately ready for use.

The large and impressive flowers make amaryllis popular plants worldwide, especially in Christmas season. The amaryllis originated in South America's tropical regions and comes in many beautiful varieties including various shades of red, white, pink, salmon and orange. There are also many striped and multicolored varieties, usually combining shades of pink or red with white. Amaryllis symbolizes pride, but also enchanting beauty.
Amaryllis usually blooms after the first winter cold, but in recent years with the appropriate methods, its blooms comes a little earlier and so we enjoy them from Christmas -during the festive season-  through to the spring.
Amaryllis is a tropical bulb, known as a winter blooming indoor plant. It is one of the easiest plants to bring to bloom and this can be accomplished indoors or outdoors, and over an extended period of time. It usually produces 2 to 7 really huge flowers, about 15 centimeters in size, each of which is lily-shaped and gracefully placed on a tall stem, 45 to 50 centimeters in length.
Amaryllis is not a one-year-old plant, but there is a special care procedure that, if you follow it, its bulb will flourish in the next and the following year. It is said that it can bloom for 75 years.

<h3 dir="ltr">Planting</h3>

The ideal time for planting the Amaryllis bulbs is in September and October. Amaryllis grows well in slightly acidic soils (pH 6.0-6.8), and you can also enrich the soil with organic fertilizer. For more impressive growth and flowering, you can fertilize once a week with water-soluble fertilizer.
Use common fluffy soil while it is advisable to add gravel, sand or even perlite to the soil. Your pot must have holes for good drainage and it should be about 7 cm bigger than the diameter of the bulb and about 3 cm around the entire bulb. When placing the plant in the soil, being careful not to damage the roots and make sure that the one-third of the bulb is above the soil. Water, press the soil down firmly to set the bulb securely in place after planting and place the pot in a warm and sunny place. Bulbs will flower in 7-10 weeks as a general rule. In winter the flowering time will be longer than in spring. Usually the bud appears first and then the leaves.

<h3 dir="ltr">Light</h3>

Amaryllis plants need bright indirect light while growing. Southern exposure is best, western or eastern exposures are adequate. An amaryllis plant that only gets a northern exposure requires additional artificial light.

<h3 dir="ltr">Blooming</h3>

Amaryllis flowers tend to grow towards the light, so when the first buds make their appearance remember rotate the pot every day in order to keep it growing straight. Use a stick to support and protect of breaking the tall and heavy stem.
If you want the bloom to last for several days, transfer the flowering amaryllis to a cool spot at night and protect it from exposure to direct sunlight. Enjoy a longer life in amaryllis buds by removing the yellow anthers as soon as the buds of amaryllis open up before spreading their pollen.
With proper care, you will be rewarded with gorgeous amaryllis blooms in a few short weeks.

<h3 dir="ltr">Watering</h3>

Once it sprouts, a potted amaryllis should be kept moist but not soggy, as excessive moisture can hurt or rot its bulbs. Before watering, always check the soil. As its roots begin to grow in the pot will dry faster, so you should take care of more frequent watering. At this point, the stem will grow rapidly and flowers will develop after it has reached full growth.

<h3 dir="ltr">After flowering</h3>

To make a potted amaryllis bloom again after the flowers wither, bring the plant indoors in mid-September. Keep it in a cool, dark place and stop watering and fertilizing. The leaves will die, and that’s okay. Ignore the plant for awhile. Remove the leaves as they become brown, and keep the bulb at a temperature of 10-15 degrees. Around the end of January or beginning of February, you’ll start to see signs of life. After 8-10 weeks of being ignored, the amaryllis will have had enough rest and will be ready to begin growing again. The amaryllis can be moved back to its sunny window and given a good watering. The amaryllis bulb will soon begin to sprout. Once it sprouts, begin giving it half-strength fertilizer again and your potted amaryllis will soon produce another lovely display of its extraordinary tropical blossoms.

<h3 dir="ltr">Propagating</h3>

Amaryllis can be propagated by seed, offsets or cutting. Since seeds do not always produce plants similar to the mother plant, most named hybrids and selected strains are propagated by cutting. Seed of amaryllis develop rapidly and are mature within 4 to 5 weeks after the flower has been pollinated. Seeds should be picked as soon as they turn yellow and begin to open. Seeds should be removed from the pod, allowed to dry for a few days and planted immediately. The seed bed should be partially shaded, and be well drained. Following germination, increase the light until the plants are receiving full sunlight.

<h3 dir="ltr">Pests</h3>

Thrip and spider mite infestations on amaryllis plants can be treated with the green solution or you can use a commercial insecticide approved for flowering plants.

<h3 dir="ltr">Diseases</h3>

There is no good remedy for these plant infections, so isolate your plant to prevent the diseases from spreading to your other plants. Plant diseases occur when houseplants are kept too close to each other or the leaves of the plants stay wet. To prevent plant diseases provide good air circulation and keep the plant leaves dry.

Amaryllis flowers tend to grow

Flowers are beautiful gifts of nature. Since ancient years we have used flowers as gifts to send messages of love and more emotions. Each flower is followed by a story, a symbolism . So let's look at some of them and what are the myths that follow them.
The Greek Mythology includes many myths with references to flowers. Some of them are internationally famous and have been transmitted orally or in writing over the centuries.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Find below some of the most popular flowers and learn the myths and symbolism that follow them.
&nbsp;
Anemone
&nbsp;
Symbolizes expectation, the ephemeral, the passing, simplicity, but also loneliness.
&nbsp;
Its name is Greek and it got it from the wind. It is also called a wind flower, because the wind is the one that helps its buds to bloom, but also the one that scatters their petals in every blow.
&nbsp;
In mythology it is connected with the ancient love myth of Adonis and Aphrodite. According to it, Adonis went hunting in the forest. There the god Mars who envied Adonis, because Aphrodite left him for the eyes of the handsome young man, transformed into a wild boar, attacked Adonis and killed him. Uncomforted, Aphrodite took the lifeless body of her lover in her arms and, as it is said, sprinkled nectar on the wound. And from the mixture they made the nectar with the blood sprang a beautiful flower
 
Sunflowers
&nbsp;
Sunflowers symbolize warmth, happiness and longevity.
&nbsp;
According to an ancient Greek myth Clytie, a nymph, adored Apollo. At first, he loved her back, but soon he fell in love with Leucothoe. Because of her jealousy, Clytie told Leucothoe’s father of the relationship and he punished her by burying her alive. In anger, Apollo turned her into a flower, but even in flower form she still loved him and would spend her days watching him as he moved the sun across the sky in his chariot, just like sunflowers move to face the sun.
 
Narcissus
&nbsp;
The Narcissus flower is a symbol of selfishness, vanity and arrogance.
&nbsp;
There are two versions of the origin of the name. According to the first Narcissus was an extremely handsome young man. His mother had told him that he would stay that way all his life if he did not pay attention to his beauty. Narcissus decided to see his reflection in the waters of a spring. He was so fascinated by its beauty that he stood there admiring himself until he withered and died on the banks of the spring. The flower of the same name grew there.
&nbsp;
According to another version, he thought that his reflection was the nymph who lived there. He jumped into the water to catch her and drowned. The narcissus flower sprouted at that point.
 
Peony
&nbsp;
Symbol of good luck, symbol of wealth and honour, favours women and love. It declares romance and keeps love alive, lust and love. It often adorns the bride's bouquet and is considered an omen of good luck for a happy wedding.
&nbsp;
According to mythology, the peony got its name from Paeon who seems to have been a deity of healing after healing Hades and Mars from wounds. The myth related to the flower says that Paeon was a student of Asclepius, the god of health and medicine. Once, Leto, mother of Apollo and goddess of fertility, taught him how to acquire a magical root that grew on Olympus which alleviated the pain of women during childbirth. Asclepius was jealous and tried to kill his student. Zeus saved Paeon from the wrath of Asclepius by transforming him into the flower of the peony. However, peony seeds were used for pregnant women in antiquity.
&nbsp;
Crocus
&nbsp;
Crocus is the symbol of youthfulness and joy.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Crocus was a friend of the god Hermes. One day while the two friends were playing, Hermes accidentally hit Crocus on the head and killed him. A flower sprouted at the scene. Three drops of the blood of the unfortunate young man that fell in the center of the flower gave the spots of the plant that has since been named crocus.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
According to another version, Crocus was a young man, who due to an unfortunate love for a beautiful shepherdess, Smilax was transformed into the plant of the same name. At the same time Smilax became the homonymous climbing plant.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Rose
&nbsp;
In Greek mythology the rose was created by the goddess of flowers and vegetation Chrolis. One day she found the lifeless body of a nymph in the forest and transformed it into a flower. She then called Aphrodite the goddess of love and Dionysus the god of wine. Aphrodite gave the flower beauty and Dionysus added nectar to give it a sweet fragrance. Zephyrus the god of the wind blew away the clouds and so Apollo the god of the Sun was able to shine and make the flower bloom. Thus the rose was created and crowned "King of flowers".
&nbsp;
Poppy
&nbsp;
Symbol of eternal sleep and imagination. Red is a symbol of hope and pleasure, yellow is a symbol of wealth and success. Symbol of consolation, fertility and eternal life!&nbsp;

According to Greek mythology, when the god of the Underworld stole Persephone, the daughter of the goddess Demeter, she, wanting to forget her pain, drank a strong drink made from a kind of poppy, the "opium". When the goddess woke up, she went down to the meadows and made the plains fertile and the crops rich, returning to the people the goods of the earth.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
According to another legend, it is considered a symbol of Morpheus, the Greek god of sleep and dreams.
&nbsp;
On the other hand, for the ancient Greeks, poppies were important for athletes because they were believed to bring strength and vitality. Thus, Greek athletes were given a mixture of wine, honey and poppy seeds for consumption. The ancient Greek women, in fact, used poppies as a herb of love because they considered it a sign of fertility.
&nbsp;
Amaryllis
&nbsp;
According to an ancient legend, Amaryllis was a shy, timid but at the same time determined nymph who had fallen madly in love with a shepherd, Altaion. The man he adored had the beauty of Apollo and the power of Hercules, but showed no interest in Amaryllis' feelings. His wish was to be given a rare flower and to be the first in the world to touch it. So Amaryllis consulted the oracle of Delphi and they urged her to pierce her heart with a golden bow and find herself at the door of Altaion. So she wore a white dress for 30 whole days and did what she was advised. She found herself on the steps of Altaion and when he opened the door, he saw a rare and beautiful crimson flower, which had been created from the heart of Amaryllis.&nbsp;
 
So you are a woman who has pure feelings but when you set a goal, you will persevere until you achieve it. Love transforms you into a female, ready to claim, challenge and conquer the man she wants, even if you have to work hard for it! In numerology the lexicon of your name is 8, so you are a woman who wants to have financial comfort in your life, you set goals and plan your every action in order to achieve what you want. You have a brilliant career and you try hard to grow in all areas of your life!
&nbsp;
Iris
&nbsp;

She carried messages from the "eye of heaven" to earth with the curve of the rainbow. The word iris means "eye of heaven". It was the name given to the goddess, the flower and the pupil of our eyes. This means that each of us carries with us a piece of heaven.

Flowers and Greek mythology

We all love houseplants but it is not always easy to maintain them. So, you may think you are doing everything right but watching your plants die without even realizing the reasons.
Indeed, if you do not want to see your plants wither, turn yellow and lose their brightness then you need to know what is bothering them.&nbsp;
Plants need discipline - there are no specific "tricks" or a way to stay healthy. However, if you see that one (or more) of your houseplants are starting to "die", there are some ways to understand why and save them:
&nbsp;
Excessive watering
If the leaves of your plant have turned yellow, the soil is wet and you see roots growing at the bottom, it means that you water it too much. If your plant belongs to the cacti or succulents, put them in the sun that will dry it quickly. Stop watering it for about a week and then start again, depending on how much water they need. Plants such as ferns need moisture for a while and when you see that the soil dries, water them again immediately.
&nbsp;
Little watering
If the leaves look down and fall, it means that you are not watering your plant as much as it should. The goal is for the water to distribute evenly in the soil and allow it to dry completely before re-watering. Also, most indoor plants are tropical, so they need lukewarm water, not ice or too hot. Usually a plant needs about a quarter to a third of the volume of the pot.
&nbsp;
More or less light
When sunlight goes through the window, it usually does not cause much damage to indoor plants. However, there are plants, which prefer less light and can burn if left in the sun for a long time. A sign that they are burning is the discolored leaves. Plants that need more light may try to expand towards the light source or their leaves may begin to fall off. In general, most indoor plants need medium to sufficient light.
&nbsp;
Right amount of fertilizer
If you put too much fertilizer on your plant, then the edges of the leaves or the whole leaves may turn brown or black and then fall off completely, very quickly. Less fertilizer means the plant will simply stop growing. Add exactly the fertilizer that the plant species needs, and no more.
&nbsp;
Moisture
Dry air can cause great damage to indoor plants. Your plants need to be away from radiators, stoves, air conditioners and vents. If you have a dehumidifier, then you can put them near them. If not, you can spray them with water very often.
&nbsp;
What are the signs that my plants need care?
&nbsp;
A plant can lift up our mood and fill our home with positive energy. But it needs care and attention, because it is a living organism that can get sick. Plants do not just need watering. They need care and attention, as well as protection from disease.
There are several causes that cause problems to our plants so see below some signs showing that your plant is about to “die”:
&nbsp;
Leaves that wither
Check how dry the soil of your plant is. Put your finger in the soil (watch out for the roots) and if you feel it dry, your plant needs watering. If the soil is not dry, and the withered leaves also turn yellow, the roots may be infected. Check them and see if they are brittle and moldy, there is a problem. Cut the damaged roots and some leaves and replant.
&nbsp;
The plant or the soil does not retain water
This means either that the roots of your plant have grown too big for the pot (see if they are too dense and stuck together), or that the soil has become hydrophobic. If this happens, then it means that the soil has remained dry for too long. Soak the whole pot in a bucket of water for a while.
&nbsp;
The edges of the leaves turn brown
If you have recently added fertilizer to your plant, this is a sign that you have overdone it. Alternatively, check the origin of the plant species you have. If it is from a tropical climate, it is accustomed to much higher humidity in the atmosphere, and the drier climate is somewhat uncomfortable for it. Be careful, this does not mean that they want extra watering than normal. It means that it would be good to spray its leaves with a little water.
&nbsp;
Burnt | Dry leaves at the edges
Most of the indoor plants will show such symptoms if they do not receive the moisture they need. Start by increasing the humidity of your plant. Once in a while, give your plant a spray of water or place it on a layer of pebbles and enough water so that it does not come in direct contact with the pot.
Dry edges can be a sign that your plant is not getting the sunshine it needs. Especially if it appears on leaves that don't get enough sun, then maybe it is time to move this plant to a place where it will receive more time of sunshine and evenly.&nbsp;
Caution: Not getting enough sunshine does not necessarily mean that you should place your plant in the brightest part of your space. We are interested in more hours of sunshine, so look for places in your home or office where it can get more sunlight during the day, even in indirect light.
&nbsp;
“Throw leaves”
As dramatic as it may seem at first, the fact that your favorite houseplant "throws" its leaves can be perfectly normal. Plants such as Ficus and Monstera shed some of their leaves during the winter, when they go into dormancy, or when they are transported to a new location with different sunshine and temperature conditions.&nbsp;
If this is an isolated phenomenon or the above conditions are met, you do not need to worry. It's just the way your plant adapts to the new environment and it will come back quickly.
&nbsp;
Otherwise the possible reason for that situation may be:
Insufficient sunshine: Your plant does not receive enough light to retain all its leaves. Try to place it gradually in a place that receives more sunshine for a longer time.
Container size: If you notice fallen leaves in combination with the appearance of a rhizome on the surface or at the bottom of the pot, it is a sign that it is time to transplant this indoor plant.
Proper watering: Water your plant either more or less than you need. Some indoor plants will get to the point of "talking" to you if they are not watered as they would like! Proper watering will again lead to new and healthy leaves.
&nbsp;
Leaves that turn yellow
Another common symptom that afflicts many indoor plants is the yellow leaves. The most probable causes that lead to the yellowing of the leaves of your favorite plant have to do again with watering and the sun.
Yellowing is a very normal sign of leaves that have grown. But if it happens to young leaves, and it happens a lot, then the problem is that your plant may be getting too much sun.&nbsp;
If you notice the leaves of your plant turn yellow from the side where the sun sees them less, it may be a sign that your plant is not receiving the sunshine it needs. Start easily by rotating the pot of your plant, so that all sides receive the coveted sunshine evenly. If this does not work in 20-30 days, try an even brighter spot or look for cold air currents that can "freeze" your favorite plant!
Alternatively, yellowing can mean either you have watered it too much or you are not watering it at all. All indoor plants have specific needs for watering, which in fact change depending on the season. Although it is necessary to check the soil before watering, we often fall into the temptation to over water our plants. It is a pity, because this will cause the roots of your favorite plant to drown, which in turn will cause its leaves to turn yellow.

Common signs that your plants are dying

Flowers have their symbolism, their meaning. They help us to deliver messages to those around us, but they also represent many elements of our character!&nbsp;

&nbsp;
They believed that each flower represented something and depending on what they chose to wear they wanted to deliver a specific message to those around them. This is what we believe today; in fact we give flowers wanting to say something to the other in a polite way and without saying much.&nbsp;
