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.

Bring on the Spring!

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!

What is the best lighting conditions for Bamboo palms like Chamaedorea Seifrizii or erumpens?

Most Bamboo palms are nurtured and shade-acclimated for interior use and should do well in most locations. Any lighted area (natural or artificial) should be adequate. As with many indoor palms watch out for spider mites, they love the dry conditions in homes and offices.

Take care and avoid both direct sunlight and low light areas such as dark corners. The palm’s natural look and symmetry can be maintained by turning the container 1/4 turn every week to allow light to penetrate the foliage canopy.
