Hey there, it's been a while! We've been busy loving life over here and so haven't had a lot of time for posting on our page.

We thought we'd share some of the exciting plant things that have been happening lately, like the latest leaf on our bird of paradise that has come out... Striped? We don't think it's variegated, but we've never really seen this kind of thing. Have you ever had a plant pop out a leaf of an unexpected colour?

Long time no see! Here's a little pruning video. Do you guys enjoy pruning and propagating your plants?

Fiddle Leaf Fig: we know this tree can come across as intimidating for many plant lovers, as it has a reputation for being finicky. We've found that the most important thing is to choose its location wisely. In the right spot, a fiddle leaf fig will thrive, rewarding you with big beautiful leaves!
These trees should be placed in a spot with no drafts (avoid windows that open, heat vents, and AC), and that provides even, indirect lighting. Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Fiddle leaf figs are prone to edema (which is caused by over-watering) so water thoroughly, but don't soak it or allow it to sit in water.

This one just recently went to its new home!

Tiger Tooth Philodendron: these plants are super easy to care for! Requires bright, indirect light and is fairly drought tolerant. To help it thrive mist regularly, and fertilise at least once a month.
This one could be propagated and trained to grow upright, and would benefit from a trellis or moss pole.
$20 (regularly $27), in 5" growers pot.
Free delivery available to Mannville, Vermilion, and Lloydminster.

Ficus Audrey: While not as difficult to care for as a Fiddle Leaf Fig, Audreys do have moderate care needs. They can be acclimated to bright direct light, but also do well in bright indirect lighting. Water when the first inch or so is dry (the soil should be moist but never soggy), and rotate the pot regularly to allow all of the leaves to get even light. They can do quite well in self watering pots.
$12 (regularly $15), in a 5" growers pot. We have two available.
Free delivery available to Mannville, Vermilion, and Lloydminster.
