The Raindrop Peperomia, scientifically known as peperomia polybotrya, is an easy-to-care-for, charming houseplant known for its fat, thick, shiny leaves that look like a raindrop rolling down your window, something I am fond of in Seattle. Not only are the leaves shaped like a water droplet, they are designed to store water, hence their thickness. This plant is also know as coin plant or coin-leaf peperomia and is commonly mistaken for the popular Chinese Money Plant (pilea peperomia).

Native to South America’s tropical regions, this plant grows on the jungle floor and therefore likes similar house conditions: bright filtered light, and moderate temperatures with high humidity.

Canna Cleopatra

Canna species are native to semi-tropical and tropical parts of North and South America. Their native range extends from South Carolina (Canna flaccida) south to Argentina and includes the Caribbean islands. In their native habitat, Canna live in damp shady locations along the margins of rivers and lakes. Canna are valuable as a food source in certain cultures because their rhizomes contain a high quality starch. The primary species used for food production is Canna indica. The starch (commonly called achira) is used in Vietnam to make high quality "cellophane" noodles. In the modern era of agriculture, canna is only rarely used as a primary food source, as it has been replaced by more nutritious and higher yielding crops such as potatoes and corn. Canna have been cultivated as a food crop for over 4000 years in Central and South America. A multi-colored gem of a flower, Canna Lily Cleopatra blooms have streaks, speckles and blocks of vivid color for a truly unique and textural bloom! These gorgeous semi-dwarf Canna Lilies are out to make a statement, just like the famous queen of the Nile: Cleopatra! Looking almost as though they were on fire, this canna's blooms are yellow mixed with a speckles of bronze red. Growing 36-48" tall, this plant loves the sun and will bloom July through September.

Olea Europa “OLIVE TREE”

admin — Wed, 23 Feb 2022 19:25:13 +0000

Growing Olive Trees in Containers is a great way to keep olive trees! Even the smallest garden or balcony can accommodate a pot grown olive tree. The ability to place your plant in the best possible location regardless of soil conditions is perhaps the greatest advantage of pot growing. An olive tree needs the sunniest spot available in your balcony. It can cope with a bit of shade but too much and your tree will start to degrade. Similarly, it will tolerate a breezy site but it will not thrive if exposed to constant northerly or easterly winds. Pot Size: 45 cm Height : 220 cm
