Plant Care and Flowering Plants Tips:
 

1. Plants should be kept away from direct sunlight,
   heating or cooling vents, directly under ceiling
   fans and  radiators. Keep them out of drafts.
    
2. When watering, wet the soil all the way down
   and be careful to avoid overwatering.
    
3. Add water to the container as needed and replenish
   solution every 4 days.
    
4. Most flowering potted plants should be placed in
   areas with the most light in order to maintain good
   flower color and promote the maximum number
   of flowers to open.
    
5. If you have plants with broad glossy leaves, give
   them an occasional wipe over with a damp cloth.
    
6. Keep plants in medium-light locations
    
7. Most plants do not like the intensely bright sunshine
   of midsummer.
    
8. Use the correct plant food for flowering/foliage plants.
    
9. Don't panic if leaves or flowers drop, but treat your
    plant normally and wait until it has settled into its new spot.
    
10. Remove dead leaves and flowers as they occur.
