Flower of the month {Baby`s Breath} ~ Kvet mesiaca {Gyspomilka}

I decided to start my first blog series. It`s going to be about flowers (what else ♥). Every month I will pick one flower to write about. Some tips, trick how to grow or just keep longer „alive“ in the vase. I`m glad you write many questions about all the flowers you see in my photos. Now I hope to inspire you even more ♥

My january post will be about Baby`s Breath or Gypsophilia. It is a favourite of mine and is absolutely perfect for winter… and also summer because I have several plants in my garden…

Rozhodla som sa založiť prvý seriál príspevkov na blogu. Bude sa týkať kvetov (ako ináč ♥). Každý mesiac vyberiem jeden o ktorom vám niečo napíšem. Tipy, triky ako naň. Či už ide o pestovanie alebo rady, ako predĺžiť ich „životnosť“ vo váze. Som rada, že mi píšete veľa dotazov. Takto vám to dúfam uľahčím a inšpirujem ♥

Január začínam s gypsomilkou, alebo aj nevestiným závojom. Táto obľúbená rastlinka u mňa počas zimy nesmie chýbať a počas leta si ju vychutnávam na záhrade…

• I always buy mine at a local flower shop
• there are several variations and my favourite is the white which has bigger blooms (bigger than mine in this photos) – it lasts longer
• the bouquet is made out of six pieces
• change the water regulary
• it lasts for about 7 days
• it is beautiful even after the flowers are dried

• svoje si kupujem v kvetinárstve – vždy sa uistite, že je čerstvá
• existuje viacero druhov, mojou obľúbenou a overenou je gypsomilka, ktorá má väčšie (bohatejšie) kvietky a to viac ako na týchto fotkách – vydrží totiž dlhšie
• moja kytica pozostáva zo šiestich rastlín
• pravidelná výmena vody je nevyhnutná
• kvety vám vydržia približne 7 dní
• je krásna dokonca aj po zosušení

• these days you can buy the plants in any online shop or at a local garden centre
• plants grow best in full sun, although they will tolerate some afternoon shade
• the plants prefer in average well-drained garden
• use stakes and twine to keep plants from flopping as needed
• it doesn’t need deadheading
• plants that don’t fare well are usually not receiving enough sunlight or are foundering in wet, heavy soils
•  looks lovely when paired with roses, lavender, zinnias and other drought-tolerant sun lovers 
• place the plants around your tulips and hyacinths and the emerging plants will hide their yellowing 
• height 60 – 100 cm, winterhart, blooms from June to September
• fertilize with universal fertilizers in spring
• cut the plant in autumn
