An encyclopedia for everything houseplants
I absolutely love Air Plants, but the Tillandsia xerographicas are my favorite by far! They can get quite large, up to 3’ across, and can live upwards of 40+ years! Fun fact! The ones we buy in the store are already around 5 years old! The common name Air Plants can lead to a bit…

To start, I have got to say that Hoya onychiodes has been my fussiest Hoya out of all the ones I own. Wait a bit too long to water and it throws a fit, water too often and you risk root rot. I’m pretty sure this thing tried to die on me at least twice!…

Fall is here and winter is just around the corner. You guys know what that means! It’s time to start readying all of your green children for winter survival. Depending on where you live, it can get pretty dark through the winter months. So it can be a challenge to keep our plants happy through…
Read MoreFunny story, until recently I had never heard of Begonias as house plants. Sure I had seen other begonias as outside plants in assorted planters, but not indoors. Then I saw the Angel Wings in the local plant group and knew I needed one of these gorgeous plants in my life! This spring I was…
