There is something magical about a home that is full of flowering and fragrant plants.
The colors, the scents, the benefits and the overall atmosphere created by blooming flowers during sunny summer days makes for a happy home that is clear of toxins in the air and is full of seductive aromas drifting from the various flowers placed around the area. Anyone who has taken the time to take care of a flowering plant knows that there is a difference between keeping the plant alive and getting it to bloom.
That may seem intimidating, but do not fear because most plants are already flowering when they are offered for sale anyway unless you prefer to grow your flowers from seeds.
The hot summer months bring abundant sunshine, blue skies and feelings of energy and happiness all around.
Las Vegas is especially known for its sweltering summers so many individuals spend their summer days cooling off by the pool or enjoying the cooling air of the air conditioner. In the same way that fruits and vegetables are best in certain seasons there are types of flowers that are ideal for summer weather. These flowers can withstand the heat and they absolutely love the sunshine!
Which Flowers are the Best for Hot Summer Months?
Whether you are keeping these in your outdoor garden or if you are placing them along sunny windows and corners in your home these flowers are sure to grace you with beautiful color, delicious fragrances and overall joy at their blooming.
Orchids
Orchids are unique flowers that come in a wide range of colors, shapes and scents. Regardless of what most people think, orchids are extremely adaptable and once the flower settles in and feels comfortable it will easily continue to grow and bloom. The most important step of orchid care is for the caregiver to understand how orchids work and grow.
The most important step of orchid care is potting the plant. Since Orchids are epiphytes (this means they do not grow in soil, but in the air), they require a pot with good ventilation and drainage. In tropical environments Orchid roots generally attach to trees or rocks so they can capture moisture and nutrients.
During the hot summer months orchids need to be watered heavily in order to stay hydrated. Orchids also don’t require direct sunshine, but they should not be shunned to a dark corner. The best place for your orchid during summer would be a sunny spot with speckled shade.
Interior Gardens is the premier source of breathtaking Orchids in Las Vegas and we would be more than happy to guide you through the proper care and maintenance for these beautiful flowers.
