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!

Palms bring the tropics indoors
A new year has begun and soon the holiday decorations will be taken down only to expose the neglected houseplants that were mistakenly concealed. It may not happen in your household, but in mine, there is always so much going on during the holiday season, that my houseplants are the items that suffer the most. It’s not because I don’t like them, it has more to do with the time that passes without me realizing. At times it seems I have just watered them within the past week, when the true reality is that it probably has been more like a month. Houseplants don’t really care for that kind of treatment.

Snow holds incredible benefits for spring season
How quickly this past year seems to have flown by, and already next week we will be welcoming in a new year.
As much as the gardener in me wants to make plans for spring clean-up and planting, we still have a good three months of winter to endure.

Grafted veggies are next season’s celebrity seeds
In many of the seed catalogs arriving soon in mailboxes, the headliners will be grafted vegetables, in which one or more different varieties grow from a single rootstock. Tomatoes seem to be the grafted transplants most frequently offered, providing greater disease tolerance, bigger harvests, increased vigor and better taste.
