- Before Christmas you can buy plants with bright flowers. The best home decoration is fresh flowers. If you don't have any, then it's time to decorate your home with them. There are certain plants that will bring holiday to your home. Some of them bloom all year round, others bloom once. For example, Poinsettia is a must-have for Christmas in almost every European or American home because its large red flowers look so vibrant. The Christmas cactus looks boring but when it starts to bloom it becomes covered with beautiful small flowers and creates a positive atmosphere in the house. Orchids will also decorate your home, but caring for them is quite painstaking. Amaryllis is also a great choice. It blooms with a lush beautiful flower and then you need to cut it off, leaving the leaves so that they feed the bulb. The next flowering will be next year, hide the bulb in a dark place.
- The idea that came to us fr om our grandmothers does not require huge expenses, but this decor is ideal for Christmas. They can decorate any flower pot, even the smallest one that stands on your table. To do this you need to take regular cotton wool. Place cotton wool around the pot to imitate a snowball. It will always look festive. You can also add glitter, just pick some glitter and spray it on the cotton wool. If there is a large flower pot on the floor, then you do not need to spend a lot of cotton to cover it completely. You can simply place cotton wool on the soil around the plant.
- You can decorate any flower pots using a regular scarf. If this is a large pot, then take a bright scarf and wrap it around the pot, tying it in one neat knot. If these are small flower pots, then you can use any fabric from which you need to cut a long strip as an imitation scarf. For very small flower pots, decorative tapes can be used. You can also glue paper eyes to make the pots look like snowmen.
- The symbol of Christmas is the pine or the Christmas tree. But you can also decorate your house plants. If you have a lush and tall plant, then do not leave it without balls, ribbons or garlands. Look at the thickness of the trunk so as not to harm your plant. If this is a medium-sized plant, then there are excellent decorative elements that you can find in the store. In anticipation of the holidays, there are large departments with various decorative elements. You will find various things to decorate plants in flower pots there. These could be angels on a stick that sticks into the soil of a pot, deer, Santa Claus, and so on. The materials are usually very light, even for hanging from the leaves of an average plant.
- A simple and beautiful idea for decorating flower pots is gift paper. Choose a Christmas theme, this paper is sold in any flower shop or in the gift box packaging department. There is a huge selection of colorful Merry Christmas designs. All you need to do is wrap the pot with such paper and secure it with tape. This decor idea is very convenient because you don’t need to repaint the flower pots. After the holiday, remove the wrapping paper and leave it for next year. Gift paper with a different design will decorate your flower pots for Valentine's Day, Halloween and other holidays. Look for different designs and make your home cozy and beautiful.
- The colors of Christmas are most often green and red. You can take a plain fabric and wrap it around the flower pots. It is better to choose red because green will blend in with the green color of the plants. Add a little white, such as an imitation belt, and you get a Santa Claus costume. Chances are you have leftover fabric around the house, maybe even some pom poms from old winter hats. Any thing can become a decoration for a flower pot. Even an old winter hat, if you cut off the top, tuck it in and pull it over the pot.
- Don't forget about the regular garland. This is a universal decorative element not only for a plant but also for a flower pot. Everything is very simple here, wrap the garland several times around the pot and turn it on. If you have several flower pots on your shelf, wrap each pot once, hugging them together. When you turn on the garland, the entire shelf with plants will glow and blink beautifully. A colored garland will look very beautiful, and a plain white one will beautifully echo the green color of the leaves.
Any home deserves to celebrate the holidays dressed up, so take old toys, fabrics, ribbons and beads. Don't forget about your plants because they will also make stunning decorative elements. Don't be afraid to experiment; beautiful holiday decor doesn't always have to be expensive.
