Hello Great Gardener,

I did a lot of celebrating this past weekend. My husband and I celebrated our 17th anniversary on Saturday, and my brother got married on Saturday. Yes, seventeen years apart. Couldn't have planned it any better.

While traveling to Michigan, I noticed fall is here. Some trees have started to change colors and drop their leaves, this is normal, and all part of the natural cycle deciduous trees go through. So don't worry unless we have a very lousy winter you will see those green leaves again in the Spring.

This week is National Houseplant week. Stop on out and stock up on some of these natural air purifiers. Nothing is better than having a plant or two (or maybe fifteen) in the home or office.
As always, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions, hit reply. I would love to hear from you. Have a great-gardening day.


Sincerely,
Holly

National Indoor Plant Week
Image
It's National Indoor Plant Week, a time to appreciate and celebrate indoor plants.

Don't have a plant in your home or office?
Here are six steps to a beautiful interior display
Pick the right plant for your conditions
Choose from low light, medium light and high light plants.

Sansevieria
Low Light:
These plants can live in low light conditions, but will grow faster in medium and high light. Variegation (color) in the leaves is often lost in low light. A plant in low light needs less water and fertilizer than the same plant in better light. Place a low-light plant within 2-3 ft. of a window with a northern exposure, 3-5 ft. of a window with an eastern exposure, 4-10 ft. of a window with a western exposure, and 10-18ft. of a window with a southern exposure. A low light area has between 50-150 ft. candles of light.

African Violet
Medium Light:
Any plant that can grow in low light grows even better in medium light, so both low and medium light plants appear on this list. To benefit from medium light, a plant should be placed directly in front of a window with a northern exposure, within 1-3 ft. of a window with an eastern exposure, 2-5ft. of a window with a western exposure, and 3-10ft. of a window with a southern exposure. Medium light is an area having between
150-300 ft. candles of light.

Coffee Plant
Bright Light:
Very few houseplants should be placed in direct sun. High light refers only to bright indirect light since direct sun often burns the leaves of indoor houseplants. An area that is too hot and dry encourages spider mites and causes blooms to quickly fade. A northern exposure really doesn’t provide enough light for high light plants. These plants need to be placed directly in front of an east-facing window, within 1-3 feet of a west-facing window, and within 5 ft. of a south facing window. A high light area has over 300 ft. candles of light.
Group Plants Together
Putting plants in groupings increases the humidity in the air for a healthier plant environment (and people environment). Placing plants in shallow pans of water filled with stones, helps increase humidity, too. Do not let the plant sit directly in the water. Our interior plant specialist can help you put together pleasing combinations of interior plants that thrive well together.
Use Matching Pots That Complement
The Colors Of Your Room

 
If you use pottery without holes, place the growing pot inside the decorative pot and surround with moss. Otherwise, it is easy to drown your plants. If you use pots with holes, use saucers to protect your floor surfaces. Stop by and see our large selection of pots for your interior plants.
Image
Dust Your Plants And Give Them A Shower A Couple Of Times A Year
 
We recommend using Neem Oil or Foliage Wonder to clean your plants. Follow the instructions on the label and only wipe the upper surfaces of the leaves to prevent suffocating the foliage. A lukewarm water shower refreshes your plants like a shower refreshes you.
Repot Plants When Roots Have Circled The Pots
 
Pot-bound plants show weak growth. Bump up the plant to the next size pot; don’t make a huge jump. Use the very best sterile potting soil possible—we recommend our own special potting mix which is loaded with nutrients and life-giving air spaces. Cheap potting soils are a disaster for good plant growth as they are usually poorly drained. If you dread the mess of repotting, bring the plants to the garden center, choose a pot, and plant them at our potting bar (or we can do it for you).
Water The Plants According
To The Directions On The Label

 
On pots with drainage holes, water should come out of the holes. On pots with no drainage holes, makes sure there is no pool of water on the bottom of the pot. Dump out excess water. If your plants is too large to lift and remove the excess water, use a turkey baster to suction water out of the saucer. Do not use water from water softeners. Tap into the water before the softener or use collected rainwater. Add soluble fertilizer (Jack's Classic Houseplant Food is excellent) at half strength every couple of weeks when plants are actively growing.
Three Must-Have Ficus
Ficus are among the most popular indoor plants, and for good reason. These are easy to grow houseplants and offer a lot of variety and textures that can fit anyone's style.
Image
Fiddle Leaf Ficus
Ficus lyrata
Fiddle Leaf Ficus are one of the trendiest houseplants due to their large, dramatic leaves shaped like violins. Due to its broad leaves, it is extremely efficient at purifying the air in your home or office. Ficus Lyrata can grow pretty tall, so for a more compact version, try 'Dwarf Bambino.' This variety has the same excellent characteristics as its taller growing counterpart, but with a bushier more compact size.
Image
Rubber Tree 'Burgundy'
Ficus elastica 'Burgundy'
Rubber Tree gets its name from the milky white latex that comes from the plant. This sap was formerly used to make rubber but is no longer in use.There are many different types of Ficus Elastica; this variety has dark green leaves with contrasting red midribs.It is perfect for bringing color and life to entry areas, empty corners, and mixed plant groupings.
Image
Weeping Fig 'Starlight'
Ficus Benjamina 'Starlight'
Starlight is a beautiful houseplant that has almost white leaves splashed with dark green. It likes bright light, but tolerates less direct sun than many other variegated varieties.
