Ixoras like a lot of water. They are woody plants and develop a strenuous root system which must be satisfied with adequate moisture.

They are acid-loving plants. They grow best in a acidic, rich, well-drained soil. If the soil pH is or becomes alkaline, leaves turn yellow and then need an application or two of a chelated iron supplement for plants.

Since these are heavy-blooming plants, feed with one of the complete liquid foliar fertilizers every four to six weeks from spring through fall.

It was a lovely shell pink. Flower heads were not quite as compact as those of Ixora chinensis but formed almost continuously. The color was unusual at the time among Ixoras for it is definite and constant. Some ixoras open pink, and then turn to varying shades of coral.

Red dracaena, corn plant, and dragon tree are all common names for Cordyline Dracena, a tropical plant that is a member of the Agavaceae family of plants.

While Cordyline is an invasive plant in its native habitats within Australia and southeastern Asia, it makes an attractive houseplant that can grow up to 10 feet tall. Like other tropical houseplants, Cordyline requires proper care to encourage optimal growth and health. This plant is grown primarily for its exotic, sword-shaped leaves. It makes an excellent accent plant in a garden setting. It does especially well growing in a container. There are several other cultivars which are similar.

This Cordyline can tolerate considerable cold.

These plants vary in appearance, but most species will have fleshy leaves and stout, thick stems. The flowers are a yellow-brown colour and take the shape of a conical spike. The leaves of the peperomia are often small and rounded, tapering off to a slight tip at the end, with light-coloured veins across the surface.

One species of the Peperomia plant, known as peperomia pellucida, is commonly used as a medicine to lower cholesterol and as a cough suppressant in Central America.

Croton plants are popular because of their stunning colors. Many assume that to add color outside of green to a garden, one must add flowers. But that’s not true. Croton plants offer a colorful, non-flower option that can be planted outdoors (if the conditions are right) or indoors to brighten up a room.

Mature croton plants can produce small, fairly insignificant flowers. The so-called flowers will appear as small bulbs (similar to the size and shape of a holly berry) and may have extensions that shoot out like a tiny firework.

Croton plants prefer full sun, but depending on the species, some can tolerate partial shade. The amount of sun that the plant receives will correlate to the intensity of its color. In order to attain full, vibrant color, the plant should remain in good light.

Planting and Care

Adequate watering is of course, essential, but over-watering is above all the greatest cause of the demise of virtually all Aralias.

It is generally thought that plants will thrive when kept on the dry side.

False aralia does not like to be moved. A sudden change in location causes the leaves to drop off.

Trimming the tips of an Aralias Plant helps promote new growth.

Handpick as many of the mealy bugs from the plant as possible.

Fertilize every two weeks with liquid houseplant fertilizer in spring and summer and monthly in fall and winter.

 

Product Details:

Common Names: Dumb Cane

Light:

It thrives best in the bright filtered light. Keep the plant away from direct sunlight, because direct sun burns the leaves and too much bright light causes the vibrant leaf color to fade.

Soil:

It grows well in rich organic, well-drained soil. To mix your own soil add 1 part moist humus or peat, 1 part garden soil and 1 part Perlite or coarse sand.

Water:

Water your plant regularly during the growing season and always keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. You can allow the topsoil to become slightly dry between each watering. During the winter months, reduce watering.

Temperature:

It prefers an ideal temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit – 85 degrees Fahrenheit / 18 degrees Celsius – 29 degrees Celsius. Cannot tolerate temperatures below about 10°C (50°F).

Fertilizer:

Fertilize every two weeks in the summer and once a month in the spring and fall with a liquid fertilizer. Don’t fertilize during the winter months when the plant’s growth rate is slowed.

Re-potting:

Re-pot your plants in the spring if the roots have filled the existing pot. Move dumbcane plants into one size bigger pot.

Dieffenbachia Compacta (Dumb Cane) is a herbaceous perennial, air-purifying, indoor house plant. It has vivid medium green leaves, heavily dappled with creamy-white central splurges. The pale-yellow covers roughly half of the leaf with very irregular edges. This dieffenbachia Compacta variety is a perfect option for the home or office.

Common Name: Golden pothos

Family: Araceae

Origin: Solomon Islands

Height: To 8 ft (2.4 m) or longer

Temperature: Average to warm 65-80°F/18-27°C year-round.

Soil: Good-quality all-purpose potting mix.

Bloom Time: Rarely flowers

Sun: Part shade

Spread: 3.00 to 6.00 feet

Height: 20.00 to 40.00 feet

Suggested Use: Ground Cover

Fertilizer:

Feed every 2 weeks spring through fall with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer diluted by half. In winter, feed monthly.

Light:

 Low light to bright light. No direct sun, which will burn foliage. Although pothos will tolerate low light, it will have more leaves and better variegation if kept in bright light. Long spaces between leaves indicate pothos is not getting enough sunlight. This plant thrives under fluorescent light, making it an ideal office plant.

Water: 

Allow the top 1 in (2.5 cm) of soil to dry between watering. Use a pot with a drainage hole to prevent soggy soil. Overwatering will cause leaves to turn yellow and fall off.

Humidity:

Average room (around 40% relative humidity) or higher. Brown leaf tips are caused by dry air. Discover easy ways to raise the humidity for your house plants.

Characteristics:

Epipremnum aureum commonly called golden pothos or devil’s ivy is native to the Solomon Islands. It is a climbing vine that produces abundant yellow-marbled foliage. In its native habitat, it climbs tree trunks by aerial rootlets and tumbles along the ground as a ground cover, reaching up to 40’ or more in length. In St. Louis, it is usually grown much smaller, typically to 6-8’, as a houseplant, although it may be featured in commercial plantings or in greenhouses in larger form. Young plants feature bright, waxy, heart-shaped green leaves (to 4” long) that are variegated with yellow or white. On large mature vines, however, the leaves become much larger (to 30” long) with deep lobes. The plant is somewhat suggestive of philodendron. All parts of this plant are poisonous if ingested. Tiny arum family flowers are followed by small berries. Flowers and berries rarely appear on indoor plants

Product Details:

This low-maintenance houseplant is interesting and versatile. It is available in a range of colors, and the attractive foliage changes in shape as the individual leaves change from juvenile to mature.

The hardy evergreen arrowhead vine is an enthusiastic climber but can be pruned to create a compact tabletop plant.

When left unpruned, its vines can grow to be about six feet long and are lovely when trained to climb or allowed to cascade over the sides of a hanging basket or pot.

Product Details:

The gardening world has many examples where a single common name is slapped on more than one plant species, and such is the case with the houseplant we know as wandering Jew. This name is used for several different plant species within the Tradescantia genus. This genus includes at least 75 different herbaceous perennial species, including some regarded as noxious weeds, some as prized outdoor garden plants (the garden spiderworts), and three of them are as widely used mostly as indoor houseplants. These are the ones generally known as wandering Jew plants. The common name is thought to derive from the plant's habit to migrate to wet, moist regions. Like the garden varieties ofTradescantia, the houseplant varieties have flowers with three petals, although they are not particularly showy in these species. Blooms are white, pink, or purple, depending on species and variety, and appear regularly.

Product Details:

The Wandering Jew, Inch Plant or Tradescantia Zebrina is a houseplant that can be grown in a hanging basket to show off its long beautiful trailing vines or kept contained and compact in a pot. Very versatile, very easy and very hard to kill, makes this a very good indoor plant to have around.
