Indoor trees are a hot décor item, great for crea

Indoor trees are a hot décor item, great for creating atmosphere, while mopping up stale air and toxins. There’s probably more than 5 reasons why indoor trees work so well as an indoor décor feature, but here are five that come to mind:

- Indoors or out, trees are a living sculpture. When grown indoors they add a finishing touch to a room or act as a focal point (much as they would do in the garden).
- There’s nothing like living greenery to bring a room to life, especially in winter when everything outside is turning brown.
- The texture of their stems and the various shades of green foliage complement rather than clash with indoor colour schemes. The secret is to match the tree (and its container) to your décor style’.
- They provide height in airy, double volume spaces, fill awkward corners or frame a window.
- Because of the volume of their foliage, indoors trees are particularly effective in purifying stale air and removing toxins.

Tips for indoor trees:
- For even growth turn the container (1/4 turn) every week, to equally expose all sides to the light.
- Re-pot every two years or so into the next sized pot until it reaches the right height, then trim to keep it in proportion to the container.
- Don’t move trees too often as they acclimatise to their surroundings.
- Use room temperature water when watering.
- Whatever you choose, go for show. Let the trees dominate their space. Keep it simple and let there be plenty of air and light around them, so that they stand out.

The names say it all: ‘Pink Kisses,’ ‘ Early

The names say it all: ‘Pink Kisses,’ ‘ Early Love,’ ‘I love You’ and’ ‘Purple Wedding.’ These pretty and petite pot carnations in romantic shades of pink, blush and purple, come from centuries of cultivation.

The association of carnations with love, fascination and distinction goes back some 2000 years, when they were named ‘the flower of the gods’ by Greek philosopher Theophrastus.

Like roses, many myths and legends surround the carnation, reinforcing its association with romance. They are woven into wedding bouquets and celebratory wreaths and are worn in buttonholes.

Modern pot carnations are compact and bushy, producing masses of bicoloured double flowers above grey-green stems and leaves. They can be planted as a showy border, are ideal for gravel gardens, and are hardy plants for patio containers and hanging baskets. They are perfect gift plants and can be grown indoors.

Unlike the older, taller carnation varieties that need staking and pinching, pot carnations don’t have to be fussed over.

And they're easy to grow!
- Pot carnations needs four to five hours of full sun. Plant in well composted soil that drains well.
- Space plants 30cm apart and plant the crown of the plant level with the surface of the soil. No need to mulch; the stems like to be free of lingering moisture.
- Once established, plants are drought tolerant and should not be over-watered. Let the soil dry out moderately before watering. The roots tend to rot in soggy soil.
- Fertilise once a month and cut back after flowering for a repeat flush of flowers.
- Container grown plants do best with morning sun and afternoon shade. Use a good quality potting soil that drains well and feed with Margaret Roberts Organic
- Supercharger after planting. Plants in containers need more water than those in the garden. Boost growth and flowers with a liquid fertiliser once a month.
