Direct sunlight is the main culprit here. Give your begonia plenty of bright light while it's blooming, but avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
There are challenges to maintaining and re-growing Begonias the following season, so they are often treated as temporary house plants. However, it's definitely possible to bring them back into bloom the following year. After flowering, cut back on watering so that the plant is barely moist, but not completely dry. Keep it away from light during this time. In about 6-8 weeks, the foliage will die back. Cut off all the foliage, leaving 3" stems. When new growth appears, remove the stems from the parent plant and pot them in new potting mix. You can discard the parent plant.
Overwatering your begonia will cause leaves to wilt and turn yellow. Cut off any affected leaves as soon as you notice them. They're likely to rot and attract botrytis fungus. Be sure to follow the watering guide in our care tips section on Begonias.

Chrysanthemums are short day plants. This means that they need more darkness than light to bloom. Chrysanthemums will naturally bloom during the fall season because the days become shorter. In the greenhouse, we manipulate the light by shading the plants when it is still light outside. By doing this, the flowers will bloom when we need them to. If you plant your Chrysanthemum in the garden between May – July, it will bloom naturally some time in October.
Do not be afraid to pull off old blooms from your plant. When you get rid of a bloom, the energy of the plant can go to other blooms and make them open. If the buds are still not open beneath the blooms you pulled off, place the plant by a window so that it can use the energy from the sun to open more blooms.
Approximately One Million Willyfresh Plants are grown per year! These plants are sold all over Canada and the United States.

Just like your regular roses, yes, these minis would love to be pruned. Go ahead and shape them how you please.
Damp conditions can cause blackspot to develop on the leaves. It's a fungus that needs to be treated right away. Cut off affected leaves and treat the leaves with a fungicide especially made for blackspot. Good air ventilation will also help to prevent fungus,
Yellow leaves that drop off can be a symptom of a few things. Lack of sunlight, dry soil, and dry air will cause roses to shed their leaves. Continue to take good care of your miniature roses and follow their requirements on water, light and fertilizer, and this will help them recover.

Fleurettes, a close relative to the Chrysanthemum, are short day plants. This means that they need more darkness then light to bloom. Fleurettes will naturally bloom during the fall season because the days become shorter. In the greenhouse, we manipulate the light by shading the plants when it is still light outside. By doing this, the flowers will bloom when we need them to. If you plant your Fleurette in the garden between May – July, It will bloom naturally some time in October.

Water thoroughly. With Gerberas, care should be taken not to allow the roots to dry out, which can cause the plant to wilt. Water until you see water coming out the bottom and discard any water left in the saucer. Don't water again until the top 1" of soil is dry.
Give your plant some air - allowing good air circulation around the plant will help to prevent the fungus “leaf spot". Separate the plant from others and cut off any affected leaves. Treat with a fungicide made for leaf spot, if necessary.
They are beautiful and happy, but not edible.
You can definitely keep your Kalanchoe outside but not too early in the year. Wait until about mid-May and cover it at night for the first few nights to harden it off. Bring it inside before the first night frosts.
Most potted flowering plants prefer moist but well-drained soil. If the soil gets too dry the blooms can wilt and they may not recover. Check the soil moisture with your finger - if the top 2-4" of soil is dry, or plants are wilted, it is time to water.
Pinch off the flowers after they fade - this will promote more blooms. Another idea is to move your plant to a brighter location, out of direct sun. Raise the humidity around it by placing the pot on a tray of wet pebbles. Sometimes plants are in shock when you bring them home, and this will help it adjust to its new home!
Dry soil will cause flowers to fade quickly. For this reason, keep the soil moist at all times, but don't overwater. If you're watering regularly and the plant wilts, root rot is likely. This is the most common problem with this plant.
Exacum plants are a biennial, although it is usually treated as an annual and tossed out after flowering. If you want to over-winter the plant, prune it back harshly and keep it above 60°F/16°C. You can collect its seeds the second year.
