Asparagus Setaceus

admin — Thu, 28 Dec 2023 18:10:05 +0000

Asparagus Setaceus , commonly known as Lace Fern, Common Asparagus Fern, or Climbing Asparagus, is an exquisite and elegant climbing plant that adds a touch of sophistication to any indoor space. Although it is called a fern, it is actually a member of the lily family, and features long, wiry stems with delicate frond-like sprays that spread out horizontally. Initially, this lush and bushy plant develops long, twisting stems with bright green, feathery fronds. In late summer, tiny green-white bell-shaped flowers appear, which later develop into small, purple berries. It is worth noting that Asparagus Setaceus may grow thorns, so handle with care. Fast-growing and able to reach a height of 2.5m if left unpruned, Asparagus Setaceus is an ideal choice for adding a touch of greenery to your home or office. Whether you want a statement plant to climb up a trellis or a beautiful hanging plant to add vibrancy to a room, Asparagus Setaceus is a fantastic option that will not disappoint.

The Ficus Benjamina Exotica Care
Light: Bright light is what keeps the weeping fig happy, that is partially shaded. A spot that receives some sun and shade during the day is great.
Temperature: Average household temperatures of 16°C to 25°C are perfect for these houseplants. Try not to allow temperatures to decrease lower than 10°C, although they can handle a bit lower, without problems.
Water: Allow the compost to dry to a certain extent (at the top) between each watering with tepid filtered or distilled water. Over-watering and under-watering can cause the leaves to drop. To identify the problem check if the leaves are crispy or if they fold easily. If they fold then the problem could be over-watering, and if crispy the tree could be under watered. Add enough water that can seep from the top soil to the drainage holes, at the bottom of the container and remove the left over water to allow enough oxygen to the plant roots. Less watering in the winter is to be carried out.
Humidity: Misting the leaves in the summer is advised.
Fertilizer: Requires fertilizing from spring to early fall.
Toxicity: This plant is toxic. Keep away from children & animals.

Peperomia Polybotrya

admin — Thu, 22 Sep 2022 13:11:30 +0000

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.
