It’s Time to Celebrate Spring!

Springtime is right at our doorsteps.

After the long winter it’s time for the growing season, pruning, giving those house plants a good thorough cleaning, repotting… if necessary and overall getting those plants in shape!

• But what about your houseplants?
• Where do you start?
• Who do you ask?

When house plants leave the nursery, their entire “how to” care information now sits in the hands of the local nursery or garden center. They know some basics on lots of plants but not the real inside scoop. Sort of like an office temp…

You’ve probably asked plant care questions, tried your hand at watering, fertilizing, repotting, moving plants around… But your efforts don’t deliver results!

You’re Frustrated!

That’s why I decided to do something about it.

I created a simple, extremely effective, easy to read, easy to apply, care guide on indoor house plants that anyone can understand and put to use.

Find out how to “force” Bromeliads to flower with ethylene here.

At the holidays lots of people go to parties and give gifts. Maybe you’ve thought of giving a house plant as a gift to someone special. Well… if that’s your plan stop and think a little about the person and the plant.


Does the person use plants of flowers regularly?
Do they currently have house plants?
… and a few more questions to ask.

Also while you’re at the party or throwing a party. Watch out for any house plants being a “collection container” for drinks. Indoor plants don’t do well with alcohol!
