    How to Make A Bromeliad Kokedama Hanging Moss Ball for A Beautiful Vertical Garden

    March 18, 2022 /

    If you have a bromeliad and are looking for a fun, creative way to display your epiphyte plant in the "open air" as nature intended, let me introduce you to Kokedama.  In simple terms, Kokedama is the Japanese art of growing plants suspended in a ball of moss.  Kokedama lets you turn your air plants, including bromeliads, into eye-level works of art by growing them in what is essentially a hanging vertical garden.  Visually captivating yet easy for both the experienced and novice gardener alike, the resulting garden is beautifully tropical yet low-maintenance -- provided you have the right plants and conditions.  Since Kokedama is not for every plant or…

    How Much Cold Can A Phalaenopsis Orchid Tolerate? Orchids & Cold Weather

    February 18, 2022 /

    As an arctic blast prepares to sweep all the way to the Florida Keys, a question on many orchid growers' minds is, "How cold is too cold for my orchid?"  Well, it's on the minds of many of my neighbors, most of whom have a Phalaenopsis, Vanda, Cattleya or other orchid growing on trees or in baskets.  As a matter of fact, in January, blossoms tumble from branches and baskets brightening each yard with flashes of color each more eye-catching than the next.  It's like springtime in winter... that is until a Canadian cold front is forecast to blast frigid artic air our way.  Which begs the question, "How cold…

    A blooming Phalaenopsis is a beautiful sight indeed... especially when those first buds appear on your Phalaenopsis in the chill of mid-winter.  Of all orchid types, Phalaenopsis is actually one of the easiest orchids to rebloom.  There are, however, a number of factors at play when it comes to blooming a Phalaenopsis, or "moth orchid," in winter.  Believe it or not, some of these factors are actually within your control.  Among these, surprisingly, is the "internal clock" within a Phalaenopsis that lets the orchid know the time has come to prepare to bloom.  How exactly can you influence this?  Well, read on because if your "Phael" is struggling to rebloom…

    In my recent post October Garden Chores: Essential Fall Tasks In Your Garden, I discuss how autumn is prime-time for gardeners in many locations to sow cold weather crops.  While many think of fall as a time for harvest only, cold weather crops, including garlic, should be planted now to ensure an abundant summer crop.  In just a few short months, planted cloves will yield a fresh crop of spicy, earthy garlic bulbs in time to flavor your summer culinary creations.  By planting your own garlic, not only do you get a flavor-packed powerhouse, but you get a nutritional powerhouse as well.  Recognized for having some of the greatest natural…

    Have you noticed your hibiscus has stopped blooming and is experiencing yellowing and dropping leaves?  If your hibiscus is struggling, the root cause can seem like a mystery.  However, upon closer inspection, if you observe a white cotton or wool-like substance has attached itself to your plant's buds, stems or leaves, your hibiscus is most definitely under attack.  This particular "fuzzy" blight tends to cluster in tight crevices where hibiscus branches meet, as well as at leaf junctures and around buds.  While this strange "fuzz" may resemble mold or fungus, it is actually something else entirely.  Let's find out exactly what is feeding off your hibiscus, and most importantly, how…
