Plants bloom the entire spring, people!
, it's possible to exert a bit of control over a number of spring blooms, so long as they're indoor flowers.
While this is a smart rule to follow with all indoor potted flowers,"there are definitely some plants less finicky than others," Pangborn adds."A few examples of hardier flowers include hyacinths, tulips, calla lilies, and kalanchoes." More sensitive plants include hydrangeas, orchids, and African violets," she says.“Choose a spot out of direct sunlight, because that can cause the blooms to degrade faster,” says Pangborn.
"The warmer the temperature, the faster the plant will use up its resources to grow and cycle through its blooming period, which equates to flowers aging faster." —Lindsay Pangborn, gardening expert However, dropping “the temperature to between 65°F and 68°F overnight can actually help prolong blooms quite a bit,” Pangborn adds. This is true for most types of common potted flowering plants. Having slightly cooler nights allows the plant to cycle between active growth and rest, which closely mimics what they experience in their natural environment—and allows flowers to last longer.
