How do plants live? What tools will be useful to you for caring for indoor plants? What items are needed to care for plants?


The equipment used by the florist in the daily care of plants indoors is actually the tools of his work. For work to be a joy, first of all, there must be equipment. It is difficult to provide the plant proper watering, if there is no watering can. Inventory items should be convenient for the grower and correspond to their functions.

So, what does a gardener need to have to provide good care for plants?

Watering can has a long narrow spout and a removable nozzle - diffuser. It is convenient to water most plants from it.

Sprayer for spraying plants. It is better to have two spray bottles: one for spraying plants clean water in order to increase air humidity, and the other for spraying chemicals(preparations for controlling pests and plant diseases) for preventive or therapeutic purposes.

Equipment for trimming and shaping the appearance

  • Sharp knife for various purposes- pruning, stripping bark, grafting.
  • Secateurs for pruning plants with tree-like shoots.
  • Scissors– a universal tool for various purposes.

Note: All cutting tools must be sharpened and kept clean. This is especially important when cutting or forming a bush. A rusty, dull knife or pruner will not cut, but will crush the stem or branch.

Equipment for working with soil mixtures
  • Small rake are useful for loosening the soil in large boxes and tubs.
  • Small wooden fork will be needed to loosen the soil in pots.
  • Scoop needed for mixing the soil and pouring it into pots when transplanting.

Note: In specialized flower shops You can often find a set of tools for indoor floriculture - small rake, fork and spatulas.

Thermometer to control the air temperature in the room, especially when growing delicate and especially demanding plants in the conditions of keeping them in winter garden, aquarium or "flower window".

Picking peg: one end is sharpened, and the other is shaped like a spatula.

Soft cloth, sponge for caring for leaves (washing, wiping).

Washing the dishes in which plants are planted is done using hard brushes and soap.

Much of what is used in floriculture is sold in specialized flower shops and has a certain cost, but most often these are universal equipment items that are not always suitable for all plants without exception. But human ingenuity knows no bounds - and a variety of, sometimes unexpected, but very convenient means at hand are used.

If you want your pets to grow and make you happy long time, provide them with proper care and attention. To do this, you need to purchase special fertilizers and additives that stimulate the growth and development of flowers. However, this is not all. For proper care For plants, you will need a whole arsenal of special devices.

To grow indoor plants you will need...

Watering can. This is a mandatory tool that will allow you to moisten the soil under the plants in a timely and competent manner. It is important to note one nuance here. If you have a lot of plants and they are of impressive size, then get a large watering can that will hold at least 5 liters of water. If your plants are miniature and their number is no more than 10, then a watering can with a capacity of a little more than 1 liter will be enough.
Spray. Also a must when it comes to hydrating plants. The fact is that some types of indoor flowers require minimal watering during certain periods of growth. In particular, they can get by with only surface spraying, which will be provided by a spray bottle.
Scissors. You can, of course, use any scissors you have in your home if necessary. However, this raises the issue of convenience and hygiene. It would be much better to get scissors with strong ends, which you will use for trimming plants or other similar work.
Transfer blade. It may be needed when you decide to replant plants. Models that have a wooden handle are especially pleasant to use, as they do not slip out of your hand and do not cause a feeling of discomfort when doing what you love.
Wire, rings, raffia - all this will be useful to you for tying up some plants. It looks neat and aesthetically pleasing. In addition, using special materials, you will not cause irreparable harm to the plant.

Useful little things

Growing domestic plants has a beneficial effect on the microclimate of the house and apartment, purifies the air, and neutralizes the effects of electronic radiation. Perhaps, placing plants in pots at home is the most beautiful and pleasant way to take care of the health of your household.

In this article we will talk about what accessories and equipment for indoor plants you will need to set up and care for your home mini-garden.

Before buying a pot for indoor flowers, decide on 3 factors: size, material and design. The dimensions of the containers must be selected based on the size of the root system of the selected plant. It is important to consider where exactly the flowerpot will be located (on the floor, on the table, on the windowsill) or how it will be attached to the wall (using a hanging system or bracket).


Floor planters

Large floor planters for large indoor trees and bushes can be made of heavy or fragile materials - clay, terracotta, thick ceramics. Due to the large volume of soil and the weight of the plant, they will not be easily broken or overturned. Deliberately rough textures, vintage and floor combinations of several pots of different sizes are in fashion.

We recommend the Aged Ceramic range from Esschert Design or the vintage Scandinavian Katherine line from Lene Bjerre. Bright flowering plants will look good with the Mediterranean-style Indoor Pots collection from Burgon and Ball, featuring Portuguese ceramic tiles or Tuscan folk embroidery.


Pots and flower pots for windowsills and shelves

Tabletop flowerpots and flowerpots on the windowsill are quite vulnerable in the presence of active children and pets. Therefore, you can choose more for them practical materials- plastic or metal. If you're looking to add a touch of Old England, Provence or Shabby Chic to your room, check out Briers' Flower Girl Collection of navy blue metal herb planters featuring a rose print inspired by artist Julia Dodstworth.

For a bright and flirty accent in modern interior Shop the Sophie Conran Collection Burgon & Ball set of cheerful pink indoor flower pots in enamelled steel.
