The poet Emerson once said, “The Earth laughs in flowers.” It is nature’s own way of showing happiness. Make your home a pleasant and bright place by planting flowers.After you bring flowers home, you can follow these steps to maintain their growth.

First, you should water your flowers regularly. Add several cups of water to each plant with a watering pot. The watering should be close to the soil. Second, you should cut off the dead leaves. Whenever the blossoms of your flowers die off or become old, cut them off. It can make the new growth of the flowers active. Then your flowers will look even more beautiful. Third, you should add support in time. If your plants are tall growing, over time they may become too heavy to stand on their own. Add bamboo sticks or branches to help the plants stand straight.
