Indoor Plants

Watering Houseplants

Many houseplants suffer from too much or too little water. Often people want to adhere to a schedule, but this usually does not work.

Orchids

Orchids are beautiful, easy to grow tropical houseplants. Native to Indonesia and Java, Orchids can add drama and a touch of the exotic to your home with their graceful, arching stems heavily laden with flowers. Orchids generally bloom for a few weeks in the early spring, with an occasional second flush of bloom within the year. To encourage a second flower spike to form, try cutting back the spent flower spike to about 8 inches.

Using Tropicals & Exotic Annuals In The Landscape

Using tropicals and exotic annuals in containers and in the yard as accent plants is an idea that has been in practice since the Victorian times. Over the past several years this concept has gained in popularity.
