Features of Lilac Flower
**Lilacs often appear as shrubs. They can be up to 3-4 meters in length.
**Lilac flowers, which have a unique color, are in the form of clusters and are usually in shades of pink, red, purple and magenta. The tone of the flower color is related to the acidity of the soil, just like the hydrangea flowers. **The lilac plant sheds its green leaves in winter. These leaves need to be protected from aphids. **If you want to grow lilacs, you need moist soils.
The lilac plant is resistant to harsh weather conditions. They can survive against very cold and very hot weather. In other words, they can live both in the desert climate and in cold temperatures reaching -40's.
Lilac, which is not a very troublesome plant, prefers to live in places with plenty of sunlight. However, it continues to bloom even if there is not enough sun. Can also adapt to shade
''Like any plant, lilac should be pruned regularly. Cleaning wilting flowers and drying branches from the plant is very important in the formation of new flowers. If your lilacs are not blooming, it may be due to insufficient pruning.''
Things to consider when pruning lilacs; flowering time should be expected to pass. After the flowers are finished, pruning should be done by cutting right from the place where the flower ends, under the first leaf. You should not prune before the flowers are finished, as this can damage the bloom. If you prune thin branches and shoots while pruning, you can prevent flowering.
Does Lilac Grow in Pots?
Lilac flower can be easily grown in pots in homes and balconies. However, it requires some special care. For example, the fact that the soil in the pot is too full bothers the lilac. For this reason, he likes to live in large pots. You need to protect your potted lilac flower from cold in winter and extreme heat in summer. At the same time, it is important to keep your plant away from direct air flow, air conditioners and heaters for the longevity of your plant.

Gerbera is a perennial herbaceous plant that is most easily grown among cut flowers. It looks like a daisy. It has yellow, red, pink, white and orange flowers. The flowers are on a long hairy stem. Gerbera flower can be in plain, layered and semi-layered form.
Gerbera Growing in Pots
The soil needs to be very permeable and for this, plenty of perlite or coarse sand etc. The permeability of the soil is increased by adding materials. In impermeable soils, the roots will rot and your plant will die.
Fill the pot with the soil you prepared and remove your gerbera plant without scattering its soil and place it in the middle of the pot. Finish planting by filling the side gaps with soil. Water abundantly and leave for a day in a shaded place. Then make room for your gerbera plant on your sunny balcony. Gerbera should be grown in the balcony or outdoors in a sunny environment. Gerbera can't stand thirst, so don't neglect watering Gerbera growing outdoor
Gerbera Irrigation: The soil should be kept moist but not wet after planting. The need for water changes depending on the structure of the soil, season, evaporation in the greenhouse, light intensity and temperature. Irrigation is done by drip irrigation and fertilization is done by fertigation (giving water and fertilizer together).
Groundwater Level: The water level in the soil is very important in gerbera cultivation. It is not harmful for Gerbera cultivation if the water level is a few meters below the soil surface. However, the water level is not constant and changes can cause root rot and fungal diseases. In such cases, a drainage system 70-100 cm deep from the soil surface should be established.
Soil Heating: Soil heating is more important than outdoor heating in gerbera cultivation. Increases yield and quality in winter.
Benefits of Soil Heating: 1. High winter yield and spring yield 2. As the excess moisture in the soil will be prevented by heating, fungal and fungal diseases will be prevented. 3. Young plants have the opportunity to root and develop faster. When placing the soil heating pipes, the distance between the two pipes should be 70-80 cm. The temperature of the water passing through the pipes should not exceed 40 oC. The optimal soil temperature in gerbera cultivation should be 18-20 oC and this temperature should go down to a depth of 10-15 cm. In winter, the lowest temperature should be 10 oC. Temperatures below this also damage the plant. If there is an imbalance between temperature and light, weak and thin-stemmed flowers are formed.
Leaf Thinning: During the period of rapid development, the old leaves in the lateral and middle parts of the plants are plucked by hand. With leaf thinning, especially the crown part of the plant is opened, which has a positive effect on flower quality.

Repotting is a process that is required once a year for the life of the flowers. However, some flowers may be affected by repotting. The hyacinth flower is also a sensitive flower in this regard. Frequent repotting can adversely affect the health of the hyacinth and can rot very large hyacinth bulbs. If the bulb is too big, if the pot is small and narrow, one size larger pot should be changed. You will also need to renew the soil when repotting.

After planting the seedlings we need to be irrigated every day and after a week the plant should be watered when gets dry
Do not fertilize for two or three months after smoke tree saplings are planted.Root development is incomplete plant never fertilized. When fertilization time comes, one of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizer can be used. Poke a hole 15 cm away from the root of the plant and put fertilizer and then soil. After one month again poke a hole in opposite side 15 cm away from the root of the plant and put fertilizer and then soil.
By this means , when watering the plant the fertilizer penetrate slowly to the plant roots. When the summer heat starts, let's never throw fertilizer into the seedlings. After about a year fertilizer amount can be increased
