Cineraria, Azlea and PrimroseAzalea, cineraria,
primrose and ranunculus are cool-loving, indoor, decorative flowering plants
that generally are available from garden centers and florists in winter
and early spring. They do best on a very bright north or east windowsill
with some direct morning sun, and must be kept cool to maintain longevity.
Only temperatures that approach freezing are too cold. In fact, extended
time above 60 degrees Fahrenheit will shorten their lifespan. You can use
these plants as a centerpiece or to accentuate a room, but you must return
them to the windowsill for the night.
In addition to cool, bright conditions, this group of plants requires a consistent moisture level. They don't tolerate extremely dry or extremely wet conditions. Let the soil surface begin to dry out before watering, then water thoroughly so that the saucer contains water. After a fifteen-minute soak, empty the saucer. Regularly remove spent blooms and yellowing lower leaves. Because of the dense foliage and the moist conditions the plants require, some mold may occur. Azaleas and cinerarias will bloom heavily for about one month. English
primroses -- other than the obconica and malacoides types -- can be grown
indoors until April. Then it's best to plant them in a shady garden spot
where they can be enjoyed as a perennial. Ranunculus is the most temperamental
of the group and usually lasts only a week or two.
