    A Proactive Rant About Houseplant

    Tall Houseplants

    Large plants can be a focal point in your home and add a touch of texture. They often require less care than smaller houseplants.

    plants house like the Bird of Paradise with their large, green leaves grow quickly and thrive in bright sunlight. They also add a splash of color to the area.

    Dragon Tree 'Madagascar'

    The Madagascar Dragon Tree (or Dracaena marginata) is a popular tall houseplant due to its easy care and beautiful foliage. The plant is part of the Dracaena genus and is known for its red resin that appears like blood when cut or damaged. It is believed to look like the dragon's bile that is found in its native Madagascar.





    The Madagascar Dragon Tree, like many other members of the dracaena family, is extremely adaptable and durable. This plant does well as a container-grown plant and can reach 6 feet or more if left unpruned, but can be cut down to a shorter length when pruned regularly. As long as it gets enough light and water it can thrive in all conditions and should not be affected by overwatering.

    The best place to grow your Madagascar Dragon Tree would be in a space with indirect lighting. Avoid small house plants , as it can scorch the leaves and may cause the flowing red resin to fade. The best place for your Madagascar Dragon Tree is a North-facing window ledge or a location that receives shade from East/West or South windows.

    Dragon trees require a moderate amount of humidity. This can be accomplished by misting the leaves frequently in the majority of homes. This is particularly important if the plant is situated in an area that is prone to dry out, like a bedroom or office.

    If the soil is too dry it is when a Madagascar Dragon Tree begins to produce brown leaves. To fix this, try adding more water to the pot to maintain the soil's moisture or increase humidity by grouping it with other plants that release moisture through their leaves, or by setting it on a tray filled with pebbles and water (so that the bottom of the pot is in the pebbles, above the water line). This is a very resilient plant that can be easily revived if the root ball is healthy.

    It is incredibly easy to propagate the Madagascar Dragon Tree. This plant is available in retail nurseries as cuttings from the mature plant. It is also possible to grow by air layering stems, which is a straightforward process that can quickly produce an entire plant.

    Dwarf Umbrella Plant

    The Dwarf Umbrella Plant has become an absolute favorite among houseplant growers. It is one of the fastest-growing plants in its category and can reach six feet or more when it has adequate lighting and regular feeding. It can also be capable of climbing, and is great for rooms with high ceilings. Its foliage is a beautiful dark green with creamy streaks. It is available in a variety of variegated or all-green varieties.

    Umbrella plants can withstand a variety of conditions but it is best to provide them with plenty of sunlight and avoid temperatures that are too low. They also tend to grow quickly and get overgrown during a growth season. To keep them looking great, prune them often and take out dead foliage. It is simple to repot these plants because they grow quite well in small pots.

    It is essential to keep your dwarf umbrella plants watered by using a watering hose, or a watering can that emits fine mist. This will ensure that the soil is evenly saturated. This method of hydration can stop root rot. Make sure that the top inch of soil dries before watering again and don't allow the soil to remain damp. The amount of watering needed can vary based on humidity and temperature. In summer it is recommended to increase the frequency of watering, and reduce it slightly during winter.

    Fertilize your Dwarf Umbrella Plant every two weeks using a general household fertilizer that has been formulated for foliage plants. This will help it to grow healthy, lush growth and support the development of flowers if you desire. It is possible to do this while you water your plant.

    Regularly trimming your dwarf Umbrella Plant is also a good idea. This will prevent it from becoming sagging and tangled, as as allowing it to retain the healthiest, most lush foliage it can get. It's also recommended to take out any blooms that appear and to remove any blooms that are faded immediately you notice them.

    The University of Florida recommends that you cut off 1-inch stem cuttings just below the leaf's top and then plant them in a sterile environment, such as seed starting gel or a rooting mix. Keep them moist and warm until they root in about approximately 1 to 2 months.

    Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree

    Fiddle Leaf Figs are the current houseplant 'it' plant but they can be a little tricky to care for. They require a lot of sunlight and don't like extreme temperatures or drafts. These plants can also drop leaves as a result of environmental changes, which is normal. However when the plant loses too many leaves, it could have less surface area to absorb sunlight, which can slow the rate of growth.

    As house plants common will grow about a foot per year, though they can get higher if the conditions are right. If a ficus plant starts growing too slow it's an indication that something is wrong. It's usually due to the amount of light the plant is receiving, or it might be an indication that the soil or the container isn't suited to the soil or container.

    The key to caring for a Fiddle Leaf Fig is to provide it with bright, filtered light. In an indoor environment it isn't always easy to get sufficient light for this kind of plant which is why you might need to supplement with LEDs or other lighting for your plants. The plant will thrive if it isn't being exposed to too much direct sunlight which can cause leaves to become brown or burn.

    This type of plant needs a high-quality potting soil that's well-draining. Over-watering can lead to root rot, as well as other issues. It's better to let the soil air dry out between waterings. But, if you do water, use water that's not too hot or cold.

    Give the plant more light to encourage branching. This will cause it to branch out from the side and stop growing straight upwards. Another way to encourage branching is to trim frequently, removing damaged or overgrown leaves, and trimming branches that cross each other to keep the plant neat.

    Mast suggests using the test of touch to determine the right time to water your plant. Place your finger in the soil until it is at your middle knuckle. when you still feel the soil clinging to your fingers, it's time to water.

    Spider Plant

They are an easy plant to grow and propagate, and they also perform a fantastic job of cleansing the air inside your home. Their beautiful green flowers are stunning and add color to any room.

    These plants are fairly adaptable to various light levels, but they do best in bright indirect sunlight. They can tolerate low light levels however their growth and overall health will be affected if they are in dark areas for long periods of time. It is essential to water them regularly as these plants do not like being overly dry. It is also important to mist the plants often to avoid fungal issues. You can also place pebbles in a tray underneath the pot to provide moisture.

    They can produce young plants quickly. It is recommended to take the trailing spiders from the mother plant when they have roots that are at least one inch in length. Then you can put them in new pots with drainage-friendly potting soil. The new plants will start to grow within about a week. You can then remove them to continue growing.

    This is a resilient plant that doesn't require frequent pruning. However, it could be benefited from pruning at the beginning of spring to stimulate new growth and flowering. They look beautiful cascading from the ceiling and can be used as the center of a hanging pot. Spider plants are safe, which means they are safe for homes with pets or children.

    These plants are susceptible to brown leaf tips that tend to be due to too much direct sunlight and low humidity, as well as excessive salt and chemicals in the water.
