Houseplants and Topiary |
Did You Know? A classic NASA study found that common house plants could improve air quality by removing pollutants. In fact, the study reported that house plants were able to remove up to 87 percent of airborne toxins in 24 hours. The Plants for Clean Air Council recommends one potted plant for each 100 square feet of living space. |
Did You Know? According to a University of Agriculture in Norway study, indoor plants can reduce fatigue, coughs, sore throats and other cold-related illnesses by more than 30 percent, partially by increasing humidity levels and decreasing dust. |

Dracaenas (commonly called corn plants) are sensitive to the fluoride in tap water which may cause the tips of the leaves to appear brown. Using filtered water helps alleviate this problem. In addition, Dracaenas do not particularly like fertilizer (also causes tip burn), so I recommend fertilizing only once a year-in the spring. |
FLUSHING THE SOIL houseplants once to twice a year to remove any excess salts in the soil. Salt buildup will inhibit leaf tip burn, and potentially prevent the plant from uptaking water and nutrients. shower, bathtub, or outside and pour water through the soil 3-4 times making sure that quite a bit of water pours out of the bottom of the pot. I usually flush my plants in the spring before I fertilize and in the fall as the winter. |
WATERING The number one way to kill your houseplants is overwatering!!! (closely followed by completely forgetting to water them) Never let plants sit in water and make sure that the soil is slightly dry before watering. Plants use water at different temperature, humidity, size of the plant, the size of the pot, and the time of the year. I check my indoor plants once a week, although I do not always need to water. |
HUMIDITY Most indoor plants originate in areas of high humidity, warm (not hot) days and nights, and regular rain water. To try to or office, you need to maintain humidity levels around 40-50%. The best ways to accomplish this are to mist the plants (filtered water works best to avoid water spots), place the plant on a tray of rocks and water, or to place the plants in a humid room like a kitchen or bathroom. |
