☀️ How to keep flowers fresh for longer in summer ☀️ Unfortunately, when it comes to cut flowers there isn’t any magical solution to keep them fresh forever. Heat will evidently speed up their blooming process and what follows, also their wilting process 🥀 Nonetheless, I still have 3 tips for you that might help at least a little bit: 1️⃣ Change water daily - don’t let them sit and boil in hot water 2️⃣ Keep them away from the scorching sun - try a location further away from the window 3️⃣ Enjoy them while they last - they’re still beautiful and blooming just for you 💕 I only hope that summer won’t discourage you from embracing flowers 🌺 There are so many stunning varieties in season! . . . . . #florallife #flowerskemesmile #bloomsoftheday #ihavethisthingwithflowers #inspiredbypetals #capturingcolour #floralstyling #moodforfloral #floristrywithstyle #floristinbedford #plantshop #bedfordsmallbusiness #bedfordbusiness #bedford #bedfordshire #bedfordflorist #flowertips #flowertipsandtricks #freshflowersmakemehappy #freshflowersdaily #summerflowers #pinkflowers #purpleflowers #pastelflowers #florist #flowershop #magicgarden #allthingsbotanical #flowermagic #flowerlover (at Bedford, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQO9mssHtW3/?utm_medium=tumblr

HOW TO WATER SUCCULENTS IN SUMMER 💦☀️ It’s a common misconception that succulents don’t need water or they need very little. They do indeed store water in their chubby leaves and thanks to that they need to be watered less frequently than other plants - but still properly. 💦💦💦 When watering a succulent make sure that the soil is saturated to the deepest roots. Let the water drip out of the pot and empty the excess. 👍 Deep watering will promote healthy root growth, which will result in healthy plant. 👎 Frequent, more superficial watering results in a shallow root system and a less-established plant. ❗️ Drainage is important, succulents don’t like to sit in wet conditions for too long. ❗️ During summer it’s best to water your succulents early in the morning before the temperature rise. If the water heats up too much it could burn your plants. ❗️ During the hot summer months your succulents need more protection from the scorching sun. Their leaves will burn when exposed to too much sun for long periods of time. It would be ideal to move them away from the window for summer. Hope your plants are growing happy and healthy!

After a long year of lockdown I’m finally visiting my home-country, Poland 🇵🇱 I got my mum here and my son, with his lovely little family. His 3rd son is due next Wednesday! I’m blessed to be able to be here in this important time. One of the lessons I learnt from the continues lockdown and horrors of pandemic is how important my family is to me and how I cherish being around them 👩‍👧‍👦✨ And this is also my wish to you all for this Spring Bank Holiday - have a lovely family time and enjoy every moment 💕 Magic Garden will reopen on Thursday, 10th of June. If there is anything I could help with in the meantime, please get in touch online 📩 . . . . . #floristrywithstyle #floristinbedford #plantshop #bedfordsmallbusiness #bedfordbusiness #bedford #bedfordshire #bedfordflorist #florallife #flowerskemesmile #bloomsoftheday #ihavethisthingwithflowers #inspiredbypetals #capturingcolour #floralstyling #moodforfloral #plantlove #allthingsbotanical #plantfocus #houseplantsmakemehappy #houseplantsclub #familytime #visitingpoland #houseplantslover #houseplantsuk #houseplantsociety #plantfriends #fortheloveofplants #girlswithplants #plantsparent (at Bedford, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPc5XBdnbvR/?utm_medium=tumblr

Crassula is one of those plants which I can’t imagine NOT having in my collection. It doesn’t always love me back. Sometimes I have to trim her down and give her a new start but I always know it’s the same Crassula I have always had 💞 Back in Poland I used to have a gigantic Crassula Ovata tree on my balcony. While moving to UK I took some cuttings with me in my suitcase 🤭 and I’m having her babies ever since! It’s been 32 years since we’re together 💚 Am I the only one with such sentiment to my houseplants? . . . . . #crassulaovata #crassula #crassulas #crassulalover #crassulacollection #plantlove #allthingsbotanical #plantfocus #houseplantsmakemehappy #houseplantsclub #houseplantslover #houseplantsuk #houseplantsociety #plantfriends #fortheloveofplants #girlswithplants #plantsparent #succulentobsessed #succulenthoarder #succulentcollector #succulentcollection #succulentfriends #succulentfreak #sentimentalplants #plantstory #florist #flowershop #plantshop #magicgarden #floristrywithstyle (at Bedford, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPI1TLwnKWF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Would the ☀️ come out if I make enough of yellow bouquets? 🤔 It’s already May but it feels more like November 🙈 Remember last year’s May? Everyone was already sharing online how tan they got over lockdown! But something for something: we might not have the sun like before but at least we’re not strapped to our own gardens and balconies with 1/day outdoor exercise allowance 😂 So in my opinion we’re still winning 🌟 . . . . . #yellowflowers #sunnybouquet #brightflowers #springflowersmakemehappy #springflowersinbloom #springisintheair #capturingcolour #florallife #flowerskemesmile #bloomsoftheday #ihavethisthingwithflowers #inspiredbypetals #floralstyling #moodforfloral #floristrywithstyle #floristinbedford #plantshop #bedfordsmallbusiness #bedfordbusiness #bedford #bedfordshire #bedfordflorist #whitelily #purplecarnation #orangegerbera #yellowfresia #flowershop #florist #magicgarden #botanicalpickmeup (at Bedford, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/COiSr-8HyOp/?igshid=1sladrwcczoi9

3 top tips for less stressful replanting 🌿 It’s finally this time of the year to check which of your houseplants deserves a bigger “home”. I can imagine how daunting the replanting process might seem, mostly for the new plant parents. In the past I used to dread it for the longest time, the mere thought about the whole mess and the time needed was seriously blocking me. But slowly. I’ve found solutions that worked for me and now I’d like to share them with you. 🌿 Not every plant needs replanting. In stead of thinking of your whole houseplant collection, find the individuals that require replanting the most. I’m sure it will be less work than you think! Look for the escaping roots from the bottom of the pot or try to feel the pot (the plastic one, it won’t work if you use terracotta). If it’s very hard it would indicate overgrown roots = time to replant! 🌿 Ensure you have all necessary materials at hand. The more prepared you are the calmer the process will be. This includes larger size plant pots (plastic or terracotta) for all plants you’re planing to replant and enough of right kind of compost (I personally limit myself to universal and cacti compost). You’ll also need a rubbish bag for all of the old soil and a water-filled watering can. 🌿 Protect your hands and your surroundings. I don’t know about you, but I find everything much more pleasant if there is less mess to clean up after. I usually spread old newspapers on the kitchen floor before starting and work by hand while wearing gardening gloves (but any latex or vinyl gloves would work too). It might not stop the compost completely from getting onto the floor, but definitely minimises the damage. I hope that my tips help you to look more positively on the replanting process. If you have any questions about your plants you can send me a DM or pop into the shop for a chat - I’m always happy to share my expertise ☺️🌿✨ (at Bedford, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CON_-__HW8Z/?igshid=1n7d0t7cm0t9h
