Care tips
To ensure the quality and longevity of February flowers in a professional environment, the following tips are essential for their preservation and handling:
- Watering: Adjust the frequency of watering according to the type of flower and the environmental conditions. For violets, use lukewarm water and avoid standing water to prolong their freshness.
- Light: Ensure optimum lighting for each species. While almond trees need full sun, violets thrive best in indirect light.
- Fertiliser: Use floricultural fertiliser with a high phosphorus and potassium content to encourage rich and long flowering.
- Drainage: Use high quality substrates that allow efficient drainage to avoid the accumulation of moisture that can affect root structure.
How to use February flowers
Winter wedding and event decorations
February is a great time to stand out at weddings and events. Flowers such as irises and primroses with their bright colours bring a fresh and elegant feel to centrepieces, bridal bouquets and ceremony arrangements. Not the most common choices for this time of year, they help add a special touch that attendees will remember.
Shop windows and commercial spaces
If you have a shop, restaurant or other commercial space, February flowers can bring your windows and interior corners to life. For example, a combination of violets and wallflowers can catch the eye of customers, while primroses with their bright colours will brighten up any corner. In addition, their symbolism – love, renewal and devotion – can connect emotionally with your visitors, especially around Valentine’s Day.

These flowers are also practical. They are ideal to use in reception areas, lounges and dining rooms.
