Gardening is NOT Cancelled
Gardening is not cancelled this year. In fact, it’s probably one of the healthiest things you can be doing right now.
Sprouting Garlic Indoors
Garlic, although some might find its stench overwhelming, I love the stuff. There is something just so irresistible about the aroma of roasted garlic. It is so captivating with its powerful notes, and it has long been used as a flavor booster in foods all over the world. It has the power to liven up any dish and treat some of the most common ailments.
Pothos Plant Care
A native of Polynesia, pothos plant (epiremnum aureum) has become perhaps one of the most ubiquitous indoor plants. It is so easy to care for that is has become as common in offices as water coolers and copiers.
Anthurium: Plant With A Big Heart
Every Valentine’s Day I face a dilemma. My wife is allergic to flowers. Roses are a nice gesture, but usually result in sneezing. Last year I wanted to find a hypoallergenic solution that would also be an undeniably Valentines-esque gift.
African Violet Care
Sainpaulias, commonly known as African Violets, are a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering plants native to Tanzania and southeastern Kenya. Typically, African Violets are grown as a houseplant.
Caring for Christmas Cacti
Christmas cacti, known as Schlumbergera or Zygocactus, blooms at Christmas and also sometimes around Easter if cared for properly. A month prior to Christmas you will be able to watch the tips of the leaves begin to grow and form buds. At Christmas, as if by magic, the buds open to a beautiful flower that will add color and warmth to any holiday season.
