Moss & Timber

If you have a new leaf unfurling on your Monstera deliciosa (or other type of aroid) here are a few tips to ensure it grows to its fullest potential. 1- Don’t let the soil dry out during this time. Make sure it’s damp and well drained. 2- If you don’t fertilize regularly, now would be a good time to give it a mild dose. 3- avoid touching or handling the new leaf. Oils on fingers can cause new tissue to burn or discolor as it develops. 4- It’s best not to move or rotate the plant while the leaf is just unrolling. 5- Damage appearing on a seemingly healthy leaf can be a warning sign of pests such as thrips, so keep a close eye out.

So jungly in the shop with all the new arrivals!

Goodnight little plant shop. Sleep well 😴

It’s been a while since I’ve had a car full of magic. All of these leafy beauties arrived safely at the shop this evening, and will help kick off the next few weeks of: Rarities! Oddities! and Big Happy Plants! I’ll feature some of my favorites from this batch tomorrow.

Lava rocks can make great pots. The porous nature of the rock provides a good rooting environment, and makes for easy watering.

If you want a more hands on, daily connection to your plants, try a daily, light misting. Here’s some tips to get the most out of misting:
1- Use distilled or RO water to prevent the buildup of water spots and minerals on the leaves.
2- Set the spray bottle to the finest mist it will make, and spray a light, even layer across the leaf surfaces.
3- Don’t overly saturate the leaves. The goal should be ‘morning dew’ not ‘torrential rain’.
4- Avoid misting when a plant is receiving direct sunlight. The small beads of water can act like a magnifying glass and burn little spots into the leaves.
5- Many succulents close their pores during the daytime, so it may be more effective to mist after dark, or before sunrise.
6- Don’t mist African Violets, Grape or Oakleaf Ivy, and use caution with other fuzzy leaf plants that are prone to leaf rot.
7- Many tropical or wet-climate species may benefit from multiple light mistings per day.
8- On occasion add 1/2 or 1/4 dose of fertilizer to the misting water for foliar feeding. (I would recommend .5ml Happy Happy Houseplant Plant Food fill up@the bottle with water and then add 1-3 drops Happy Happy Houseplant Hydration Renew as a perfect way to foliar feed)

Buy any spray or misting bottle from the shop and get your first fill of distilled water for free.
