As I have been getting more involved with local garden centers, I have been making some great friends and talking to leaders in the gardening biz. Turns out, houseplant love (and sales) are on the rise. Millennials are filling their apartments with house plants to feed their curiosity about gardening. Many are saddled with back-breaking college loans, so they can’t afford houses and yards. House plants feed that need. Add the COVID stay-at-home orders, and you can see why people want to brighten their zoom-rooms with green, verdant, lively plants.
If you are like me, you probably gave your houseplants some summertime fun outside. However, now fall has settled in and it’s too cold outside for houseplants. Perhaps you may consider bringing in potted herbs and cuttings for your kitchen escapades, too. Bringing plants in from the outdoors can be tricky. There is a lot to consider, especially if you have very dry heat and a drafty house. I address steps to take in how to bring in plants successfully, and even go through my chemical-free treatments when problems arise. See below! It’s the most recent episode of Fridays with Flora.
