Decorating Your Office With Flowers And Indoor Plants

There are some good advantages when it comes to caring for indoor flowers. You are the one that is in control. You control the lighting which can come from outside natural day light or you can install fluorescent growing lights. You are also in control of the watering, which is the second most important thing the flowers need. If you are now sure when exactly to water your flowers, there are water moisture testers which stick into the soil next to the plant. You can also use your finger to test the soil to see if it is still moist. If it is a little damp you should wait for another day or two before watering it.

Some people put flowers in a vase with some dirt around it and water the flower until all the soil has turned damp and they could see the it from the outside of the vase. This technique is a bad idea; the water puddles up in the bottom of the vase, however, after a time it becomes a breeding ground for some bad bacteria which is harmful to the flowers roots. These people will soon begin to see the tops of their flowers begin to wilt, then the stems will slowly turn a light brown color and this will continue until part of the flower has to be pruned. It doesn't help to keep adding water it doesn't help much.

Utilizing indoor plants and flowers is a great way to improve the quality of your home or office. Most people prefer real plants, as opposed to silk flowers and realistic small trees. The reason for that is likely because plans do naturally release clean, fresh oxygen into the air and really do provide that fresh air feeling when you do it right.

There's nothing nicer than being surrounded by fresh green plants and colorful flowers to make every day just a little more enjoyable. If everybody could have an outdoor living room or office, with perfect weather 24 hours a day, 365 days a year I'm sure that would be the current craze! Unfortunately such an environment isn't possible, but you can get close by decorating your home or office with indoor plants and flowers.

Before you read the 3 ideas, and make a decoration plan you must first decide on a theme. A theme could be mostly green, tropical, colorful or white. For example if you wanted to achieve a tropical environment, you wouldn't go and buy a dozen lilacs or roses, your theme might include small fake palm trees, with tall green plants and maybe a fake gecko to lay next to one or your plants.

Here are 3 ideas you can use to utilize nature's natural beauty in your everyday life.

1. You can try a tropical theme. What's better than being in an environment that reflects a warm, colorful, green and vibrant impression in your home or office? The best way to achieve this is by using lots of green, and tall, strong plants. Tropical environments grow year round, so everything is always full, green and strong. A good combination would be 2 or 3 small fake trees, that can be placed in the corners of your room or office. While incorporating long, bright green real plants to place on your desk and window sill, giving you that real, fresh oxygen to go along with the fake trees.
2. Try to achieve a camping vibe. I love camping, and will always enjoy the lush, thick evergreens and the fresh air that comes along with it. The smell of a camp fire, and the sounds of summer birds chirping. This theme can be achieved by combining larger, darker plants and a collage with autumn leaves and pine cones. A great addition to this setup would be an outdoor, autumn or camp fire scented candle from your favorite candle shop.
3. A simple indoor garden with plants and flowers. You can never go wrong with the simple, indoor garden type of environment by utilizing small green plants and flowers. Any particular color scheme can be achieved using indoor plants and flowers, if it's a color scheme in particular that you desire. Roses and other flowers, even silk flowers come in just about any color you can imagine, and so do orchids, which are very popular and attractive in any situation.

Those are 3 great, easy to do ideas you can use to decorate your home or workplace using indoor plants and flowers. Creating a nature oriented theme for your living or work space always creates a better energy, and natural feeling to any indoor location.
