Houseplants…the originators of GREEN Living!
Indoor plants help breathe life into your space. Many types also purify indoor air. Whether you are looking for a floor plant, a smaller tabletop charmer, or perhaps a trailing type for a ledge…we can help!!! Tropicals grace our greenhouse year-round. So, if you want to blend them into your shady outdoor summer displays…so be it. We believe that begonias and ferns CAN live side by side in peace and harmony!
Success with indoor plants is easiest when you match your indoor environment to a plant's growing needs. First, determine where in your home you’d like your future houseplants to live. Most plants will need natural light from a window somewhere in the room.
Next, determine what type of light you have in that area: low (L), medium (M), bright indirect (BI), or bright direct (BD). Here is a light guide to help you determine what level you have. It is common for plants to be able to adapt to more than one light level. Most plants will do well in bright indirect light. But, if you have extremes—very low light, or bright direct light—make sure you select plants that can handle these conditions.
Although our stock varies, below is a sample of the plants we quite often carry. Let us know if you are looking for something specific, and we’ll try to bring it in for you. Typical use of mature plants is noted below as either floor, tabletop, or trailing. Many of these same plants will come in a small starter size. Although some of these starter plants may eventually become large with age, they make a nice tabletop display until they begin to mature. Many of these starter plants are good candidates for terrariums or fairy gardens.
If you want to refresh your existing houseplants...bring them in to us. Our reasonable re-potting service will have your plants looking new again.
