Juniper procumbens Bonsai Complete Care Guide
One of the most popular (if not the most popular) bonsai trees, Juniperus procumbens ‘Nana’, serves excellently as a gift for anyone with an interest in plants and plant care. Juniper procumbens trees are becoming increasingly popular as an introductory plant to the ancient art of bonsai.
Miltonia / Miltoniopsis Orchid Complete Care Guide
Miltonia and Miltoniopsis are frequently lumped together, but originate from two different environments, giving them slightly different culture requirements. Miltoniopsis thrive in cooler weather (like in the Andes mountains of South America), while Miltonias prefer warmer temperatures (like southern Brazil). Simple enough right?
Succulents Complete Care Guide
It all started with the Latin word “sucus”, which basically means to drink – specifically juice or sap. Now – before you get any ideas – let’s not go pouring apple juice in your succulent’s pot. Okay?
Oncidium Orchid Complete Care Guide
The Oncidium orchid genus, often abbreviated to just Onc, belongs to the angiosperm family Orchidaceae. Around 300 gorgeous species fall under this plentiful genus. Common names for these orchids include Dancing Lady or Golden Shower orchid, aptly named for their yellow-brown to golden dress-like petal arrangements.
