Gardening on the Internet: plants and flowers at home
One of the most entertaining hobbies we can love is the gardening. To enjoy the plants and flowers In general, it is not necessary to be a botanist. However, with a little knowledge we can occupy our free time as much as we want and throughout the year.
Although the end of summer is not the best time to plant, still the good temperatures can allow us to improve the garden or the terrace. If it's too late or we do not have a garden or terrace, it does not matter: at home the flowers adapt to any corner and at any time, whether spring or winter closed.
Internet offers many pages that can guide us when we start this activity. Infojardín is without a doubt one of the most complete because it presents us with a large amount of plants. They include not only their description and scientific name, but also how they are grown, when and how they should be watered, pruned, reproduced, etc. A very interesting resource for when they give us a plant or we want to buy one that we like.
On this same page you can read other suggestive articles such as plant diseases, pests, tips for each season of the calendar or types of soil, which will greatly expand our knowledge and help us to keep our small orchard sparkling.
The garden inside the house
The inside plants They tend to be very attractive, because by not depending directly on the climate they allow us to cultivate species from many parts of the world at home and see them bloom even in winter. For this type of plants we can consult the web Plants and Home, which has a category especially dedicated to indoor plants. Through reports, Plants and Home offers various tips on the species that best suit our home and how to take care of them.
Another good page is Planthogar. In this portal, next to the flowers, we come across an attractive section referred to the orchards. In many houses it is common to find a pot of parsley or thyme that later gives flavor to the food dishes. But, why not encourage us to create a small garden with lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, beans or any other type of vegetables! On this website we have all the resources and information necessary for cultivation, planting, light, soil type, care or calendar. Of course it will require more dedication, but a good salad with products from our own garden is well worth it!
Miniature plants
Bonsai trees are a great challenge for the most careful. The word bonsai comes from china and means to cultivate nature on a tray. It is an art that, through techniques, cultivates trees and plants in a small space, decreasing the size of the plant. In its origins, the bonsai symbolized eternity and each tree was a link between the divine and the human.
The bonsai need many care, but the results can be really spectacular. In the network there are several websites with hundreds of tips, tricks and techniques that will allow us to grow our small trees successfully. Perhaps Portalbonsai is one of the most complete websites, although Bonsaimanía will also be very useful if we decide what the Chinese monks started more than 2,000 years ago.
What these monks did not know then was the program misBonsais and it is one of the most profitable tools. This bonsai management software stores chips of each one of the copies that we have with all their technical data, the particular characteristics, the images of their evolution, etc. At the same time, it includes an agenda that reminds us of the different tasks we must perform each bonsai at each moment.
Flowers for all tastes
Although it is impossible to know with certainty, nowadays There are more than 300,000 different plant species classified. Therefore, our possibilities at home are quite considerable. However, we can choose to "specialize", for example, in medicinal plants. The pages Plantasquecuran and Plantas medicos will allow us to see a list of healing plants and some useful tips.
Another option is to opt for exotic flowers, aromatic plants or cacti. In the Botanicalonline portal or in any of the pages named throughout the article we will find a lot of information about this type of plants. While if what we are looking for is something more scientific in nature we can turn to Wikispecies, the green project of the creators of the encyclopedia written by Wikipedia citizens. Wikispecies will include animals, plants, mushrooms and any type of life in nature. It is still a young website but, little by little, it is increasing the number of entries and, who knows, maybe in a very long time we can include some ourselves!
