House plants respond very well to BACH FLOWER THERAPY,plants do indeed have feelings.Dropped flowers and brown or dropped leaves indicate that all is not well.WALNUT for new begingings, STAR OF BETHELEM for shock,if the plant was relocated,one should also consider WALNUT, if it does not get along in its new surroundings,HONEYSUCKLE also could be condidered for possible homesickness.If a plant is no longer the center of attention and therefore receives less affection,then HEATHER is the flower of choice.Should one forget to water a plant,then ROCK ROSE is recomended for fear of death.CRAB APPLE is helpful against bugs of all kinds.
CASE STUDY
A Scheffiera plant dropped its leaves after it had to move from its place at the balcony door to a new place close to a big window.At the same time,another plant at the windowsill dropped its leaves.Both plants were in a desolate state,John gave the Scheffiera HOLLY ,because it obviously envied the other plant its place at the windowsill.The other plant received HEATHER ,because it was obviously hurt by the Scheffiera ,and dropped its leaves probably due to plain self pity.
very interesting Star.....I am rekindling my interest in Bach flower remdies, I haven't used them for some years..
It is appropriate that the flowers would respond to healing flower vibrations I think.... a bit like responding to a hearty smile from a passing stranger perhaps>>
Yes, plants do indeed respond well to Bach Flower Remedies and also hands on healing.
I am growing some sunflowers and I accidentally almost snapped one of their stems in half when they were about 12ins tall or so.
I bound the stem with micro pore and gave a dose of Rescue Remedy. I also treated the plant with RR added to water in a spray bottle. A quick spray 4 x daily.
The sunflower also received healing and within 2 weeks it was bigger than it's two friends and the stem strong and fully healed
The following might interest some: The Bach Flower Gardener by Stefan Ball.
I have some plants that could do with a bit of TLC at the moment I foolishly put some of my houseplants into the garden whilst doing a rejig in the room, and it was a bright sunny day and some of the leaves got badly scorched. I've since given the spider plant a bit of tlc, trimmed its browned leaves ( I may even repot it - cos its been in its pot for so many years). I've put a rescue plan into place, so the rescue remedy will come in handy in form of spray. It's been a huge plant in the past with little baby spider plantlets springing from it, so I don't really want to lose it.
The first I ever heard of Bach Rescue Remedy was on Gardeners World, BBC, years ago, when it was given to a mature conifer which was being transplanted ... just a few drops in the can when it was watered in ... to help it get over the shock.
Shortly afterwards, when visiting friends, I saw it dropped straight into the open mouth of a screaming baby ... baby stopped screaming, to the intense relief of all
Spider plant babies, Binah, I find can exhaust the parent if left on too long. So maybe time to cut some umbilical cords. I've always found that when detaching the babies, if the roots have gone a bit 'crispy', they're fine if popped into a jar of water for a few days before potting them up. Then, with luck, they're re-homed, so I don't finish up with dozens of them.

The little uns will be going into the nursery tomorrow. Thanks for the useful advice.
Celia kindly sent me some house plant cuttings the other week. Although they have now rooted, and throwing the makings of leaves out they seem to be struggling a bit so I am spraying them with rescue remedy....it will be interesting to see if they improve.

Patience fleur - patience - lol
Seriously - they take a while to get established but once they are they are very sturdy and quite resilient to bits being taken off to pass on etc etc. Be interested to hear how the rescue remedy works but aren't they a bit young for the brandy?!
Both my geraniums have pretty flowers at the mo - lovely :-)
