Keeping Up With Houseplants

 

Having your own plant at home is always a benefit for homeowners because of the many advantages that it provides. One of which and the most important benefit is the cleansing of the air inside our home. There are specific plants that are air purifier, but all of the plants are usually taking in the bad air and gives out fresh air or the oxygen which we needed in order to live. So, if we have a plant or should I say plants at home, we should do anything to take care of it. They should always be free from pests, and from time to time make sure that it receives proper light from the sun, and most of all never to forget to water them because dehydrated plants will soon wither and die.

There would always come a time that we will be out for a vacation and forgets about the maintenance of our plant. Comes back after three days or a week of vacation only to find out that your plant is dying and needs water immediately. One of my friend recommended, the Bali Planter which she bought online at Emilysplants.com. The Bali Planter has a system that has a bottom reservoir in which it accumulates water and allows the plant to wick up the water as needed. It is actually very convenient especially for those who are always busy at work and forgets to water the plant before leaving the house to go to work. This is also great for offices and many more business or commercial spaces.

For orders or more information about the Bali planters and all other gardening kits and supplies you could visit their page online. Prices and shipment details are also available online or you could call their toll free number to talk to a Specialist for further assistance.

Houseplants As Gifts For A Merry And Wonderful Christmas

This is the season to be merry, Christmas is fast approaching and everyone is already anticipating for gifts that they will be receiving on that special day. As for me, I'll be sending a velvety red gloxinia plant in a whimsical large santa bucket, as a starter, to my grandmother because she is the kind of person who appreciates the beauty of every flower. Gloxinia are primarily found in the Andes of South America but can also be found in Central America and West Indies, where it has probably escaped from cultivation. These plants feature large, velvety leaves somewhat reminiscent of African violets with giant, bell-shaped flowers in a range of bright colors. They are available as double or single flowers and creates a great centerpiece for table tops or sill plants for that somewhat shady sill.

My grandmother has always been a lover of different kinds of plants and flowers. I know that with this gloxinia plant she would definitely be delighted since, this is a rare kind of plant, far different from the flowers that she have at her garden. I also have bought a book on how to properly take care of the plant, so that she will have a better idea on how to grow these type of houseplant. I have bought my very first gift at Emily's plants. Emily's plants is a seller of different plants and gardening supplies as well as gardening containers. I got curious about the plant so I bought it and was amazed by the attractive container that is accented with a black Santa's belt and complete with a gold buckle and a white trim.

Plant Lights For Indoor Gardening

There are many requirements for plants to grow healthily. On my previous blog I have discussed the importance of water. But today, let me share to you the importance of light to these plants. Every plant differs from one another, that is the reason why their growth requirements also differs. Some plants needs direct light from the sun while others can stay indoors. Their specific needs would determine which lightning is appropriate for optimum growth. Remember, if using artificial light it must mimic the natural light coming from the sun to which the plant is best adapted. If that plant does not get the light that it needed or does not get enough light, it will not grow, regardless of other conditions. For example, vegetables grow best in full sunlight, and to flourish indoors they need equally high light levels, whereas foliage plants grow in full shade and can grow normally with much lower lights. 

Sometimes, we would encounter bad weather conditions and that we need to transfer plants indoor, or if it is the winter season, we will have no choice but to grow these specific plants indoor. Good thing is that there are intelligent indoor plant lights available at the market that was manufactured and distributed by Emily's plants. The intelligent plant light will eventually become your best tool when the lovely plant you received as a gift , or the ones you bought fail to live up to its fullest in a home or office setting. Plants get affected as well when it comes to the intensity or amount, the color and duration of light. But before deciding on what plant lights or artificial light to buy, you have to research on how much sunlight your plant needs. Giving your plant too much exposure to the sun and it will look bleached, pale or even burned, too few hours and it will have thin leaves and elongated shoots. 

If you have a plant in low light, adding supplemental indoor plant lights can help it stay vigorous and blooming.
