Juniper procumbens Bonsai Complete Care Guide
Juniperus procumbens 'Nana' - Mounding Juniper, Dwarf Japanese Garden Juniper, or most popularly, just Juniper Bonsai. It's a wildly popular nursery product. We're talking big-industry production, imported on ships by the cargo container, plants passing through many hands on the way to the customer POPULAR. This plant has a predictable low and sprawling growth habit that reliably produces attractive silhouettes, even after branches are severely cut back.

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?
