It's 96 degrees here in Southern California. While we can sit back in our easy chair and drink beer to stay cool (ok, that may not work but it makes me feel better), flowers aren't so lucky. Visser's Florist & Greenhouses has two, 6,000 sq. ft greenhouses full of plants. We also have 100,000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of cooling power to keep the plants cool and the humidity up.
Your plants and flowers may not be so lucky. If you are blessed enough to have some beautiful flowers in your house, you need to do a couple of things. First, try and keep them cool. I'm not saying run the air conditioner just for your beautiful Visser's roses, but keep them in a cooler part of the house, and not by a window where they can get direct sunlight.
Next, if you do have air conditioning, don't put your flowers or plants right by the vent. Air circulation is important, but if they are by the vent the air will dry them out. Next, make sure they have water. You drink more when it's hot and so do flowers and plants. In fact, occasionally misting them with a little cool water is a good thing also.
Finally, if you have any questions about your plant or flower care, please call us at Visser's at (714) 772-9900.
