Different kind of house plants

Large indoor plants are ideal for filling empty corners in a house. Would you rather opt for a smaller version? Then this one will also get a nice place on the coffee table.

When you order the houseplant online, it often comes with care tips or instructions. That care must therefore be completely fine. Are you giving the houseplant as a gift? Then it might help to point this out to the recipient.
The first flower care tip: cut the flowers diagonally
Cutting the flowers diagonally is super important for your flowers. Cut a small piece off the bottom of the stems. This doesn’t have to be much. +/- 2 cm. is enough. If you cut the flowers diagonally, the stem will receive sufficient water supply to the flower. Use sharp tools, preferably sharp scissors (tip: We have super handy scissors in our range). Also make sure you have scissors or a knife is clean. Then the bacteria have a minimal chance of infecting the flower, so that they do not droop.
The second flower care tip: remove the leaves that could be submerged
Clean water is vital for your flowers. Leaves in the water can cause it to become cloudy. That is why we advise to remove all leaves from flowers and greenery that could be submerged. The thorns of roses can remain on the stem.
