This jar insert when it gets cold.

We’ve compiled flowers in a jar with help from florist Lene Simonsen.

When you buy plants, you should think about whether the plants should have equal durability. The main thing is that the most dominant plant in the jar the longest, and then you can either replace the others that are less important for the whole.

Simonsen prefer to plant shade in combination, for example with Only green plants with different texture and slightly different shades of green.

– But it can be nice with complementary colors together, like blue and orange, Simonsen says.

Other colors thus can be fine together, red and cyan, green and magenta, or blue and yellow.

If you use summer plants, they stay mostly fine for seven to eight weeks. Choose plants that last longer, take pots indoors when it becomes autumn.

The plants need water almost every night and liquid fertilizer about once a week while they are out and it’s hot.

What you need:

Flowerpot

Earth

Leca balls or similar

Flowers / plants

Mose / twigs for decoration

The method

Step 1: Ha hydro granules in the bottom of pot, for drainage. Over leca balls should have soil. Fill more land when you have placed plants. Step 2: Go out into the garden or in the park and pick bark, moss or twigs. We have placed some moss and a twig in the pot – it will be nice with plants. Step 3: In our jar we used Salix, a small wood, and a sedum-perennial with yellowish flowers, two plants that hold about as long. Sedum spathulifolium ‘Cape Blanco’ is a type of perennial that will be well suited. Remove plant pots and place them firmly into the ground. Fill in with soil. Step 4: Pink Daisy, which is durable much shorter than the green plants in the jar, you can freshen up a shorter period. When daisy fades, replaced it with a durable green plant and some fresh soil. Step 5: Put the pot into when it becomes autumn. Perennial blooms again and again, and the tree will get new weeping willows and leaves next spring. Inside plants need water only about once a week and fertilizer every 14 days.
