Orchids are not difficult to grow and are capable of blooming for many weeks. Orchids, like all plants, need a balance of light, air, and food/water. Their beauty and ease of care has made them a favorite interior plant.

Bromeliads are durable, tropical-type houseplants that are known for their ability to thrive indoors. Each unique variety provides long-lasting color and interesting texture and shape.

We would argue that nothing is more welcoming in your home than a houseplant. Or two or three.

Don’t be fooled by the artificial look of air plants. These very real, and simplistic plants are a smaller relative of the Bromeliad family. Air plants (tillandsia) are wonderful for beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts. They are very popular because of their durability and low care requirements. These plants produce a bulb-like base with thin to thick, curly leaves that are often silver-grey or green in color.

The first requirement of all plants during their growing season is an abundance of daylight. Light from a window is always one-sided and the plants respond by turning their leaves and flowers toward the light. To keep healthy houseplants, turn the plants occasionally or they’ll grow lopsided.

Don't worry, be happy. It's a motto we should all try to live by. Matter of fact, there is even a song written about it. Or maybe the song was written and now it's a motto? Either way, it's still a good one.

Houseplants are great, colorful additions to a backyard patio or deck. When temperatures start to dip in the fall, they need to be brought inside to a more protected area.

Low Light? No problem.
