At Christmas, we put a tree in our interior and we decorate the living rooms with various Christmas decorations. Whether it is to decorate your party table or simply to bring a vegetal side to your home, you can also add flowers. But which ones to choose? Here is our selection of flowers for a successful Christmas decoration!
The Poinsettia is arguably the official flower of Christmas. Originally from South America, it is also called the Christmas Star. Why ? Quite simply because of the shape of its flowers! There are different varieties of Poinsettias but also different colors. Thus, you will find this plant with pink or orange flowers. But to decorate your interior for the Christmas holidays, we strongly recommend that you opt for the white or red poinsettia. It will find its place on a piece of furniture or on the Christmas table.
The traditional Poinsettia is a fragile plant. So you have to maintain it well. How to proceed ? Here are our tips. Opt for a pot with holes and a saucer. If the chosen pot does not have a hole, add clay balls, also called drainage balls, so that the water does not stagnate. Water generously when the soil is dry. Remember to gently dust the plant if necessary and avoid placing it near a heat source.
For Christmas decoration, we love red! However, some of us play the card of originality and use other shades. For a Nordic and refined atmosphere, nothing like blue. This color goes wonderfully with the green of the fir tree, the white of the snow and the magical silver color.
The Saintpaulia therefore stands out thanks to its blue color. It finds its place everywhere in your interior and is particularly robust. Only one instruction applies:the watering of this plant is done from below, in the cup. Leaves and flowers do not support water.
Hellebore is a particularly aesthetic flowering plant that is found during the Christmas holidays. Moreover, it is also called the Christmas Rose. The only drawback is that the plant blooms only after a year, sometimes two. Hellebore is resistant, including to cold. So you can have it indoors and outdoors, on your windowsills, your terrace or in your garden.
If you choose to decorate your interior with a Hellebore, you will need to water the potted plant regularly and make sure it has enough potting soil. Thus, it will develop magnificent white and pink flowers.
The rose is everyone's favorite flower. It is available in many colors including red and white. This is why it finds its place in a Christmas decoration. For the holidays, there are many bouquets. Some are accompanied by other red flowers, pine cones, fir branches or holly…
To keep your bouquet as long as possible, you must remove the leaves that will be submerged. The water should not be too cold, ideally it should be at room temperature. You can add a little baking soda or vinegar to the water for your cut roses. Of course, you can also place a small rose bush in your interior. For a festive decoration, choose a beautiful pot!
The hyacinth is one of the most common flowers at Christmas. Fragrant and beautiful, this plant is often offered on wood or in a presentation that will perfectly adorn your Christmas table. The hyacinth is very easy to maintain, it is enough to water it regularly. In addition, you can keep it for several weeks. Choose the colors well! For Christmas, white hyacinths are the most popular.
In addition to flowers, it is possible to make Christmas decorations with branches. Holly branches are festive and display beautiful colors. You can also play with mistletoe, fir and even eucalyptus branches. In addition to smelling good, this one has a terrific lifespan. It is also manageable and aesthetic, and therefore perfect for creating wreaths and centerpieces. The branches accompany the flowers and are easily placed on the Christmas table.
For a successful Christmas decoration, you can bet on all the flowers you like. It's up to you to choose the colors that will best match your Christmas decoration.
