Crocus can pack a punch for spring season
Spring officially arrived here this past week and many of us ran to the window to see if the recent storms were just a dream. Unfortunately, they were a reality along with the feet and feet of snow that still blanket the landscape. It seems like it will take forever for the snow to leave and allow us to begin the new season. Surprisingly, when the temperatures turn, it will only be a matter of days when most of the snow will melt away to allow the plants to begin to spring forth.

The color green has meaning throughout the year
The luck of the Irish, the appearance of the elusive leprechauns and the charm of the four-leaf clovers, are all part of St. Patrick’s Day. What is it about this day that makes it so special? Do you have to be Irish to enjoy it or is it more of a universal celebration?

Indoor blooming plants are always in demand
Whenever I visit with people about plants, whether they are for the outdoors or indoors, I always get a similar question: “Are they easy to grow?” It is a very good question in most cases as people want things that are hardy, tolerant and don’t take a lot of effort. Unfortunately, most situations are not like that and most require some degree of care and time. However, there are also plants that seem to thrive upon neglect and continue to do well regardless of their surroundings.

Patience will reward you with surprises
I have always said that patience will bring great things, when you are dealing with nature and plants. Sometimes these surprises come in a few months and other times it takes decades. But when you finally see the beautiful results, the time spent is always well worth the effort.

Fig Trees can fill lofty heights indoors
Many times, when we enter shopping malls or indoor office buildings with bright skylights and windows, we encounter indoor plants of various sizes. Sometimes it is the typical vining pathos plant mixed with scheffleras (Umbrella trees), hibiscus, sansevierias (mother-in-law’s tongue), and spider plants, among many other selections.

Purify your air with peace lilies
Of all the houseplants that people have in their homes or workplaces, the peace lily has to be the most common of them all. For very good reason also, as this plant is very adaptable to our indoor spaces, easy to grow and produces flowers during most seasons of the year.

Soften your indoors with ferns
Ferns often remind us of the tropics of the rain forest where some forms grow to be more than 15 feet tall, literally towering over the visitors that walk beneath them. These are typically the variety of the Australian tree fern. In other cases they remind us of the cool, damp regions of the Pacific Northwest or the northern woodlands of Minnesota and Canada. These consist of a variety of selections such as the Maidenhair fern, the Ostrich fern and the Cinnamon fern to name a few. The richness of their green fronds seems to add a soft texture to the lower level of the forest floors.

Cacti are a good houseplant year round
There are many thoughts that go through people’s minds when they think of a cactus. Usually it focuses on the spines that cover the plant and how much they hurt when you touch them. Not that you are supposed to touch them or anything, but sometimes you just can’t resist and other times it is by accident. Either way, when the spines break the skin, you know what happened!
