Attention, calling all Philophiles 📢‼️

Allow us to introduce you to Philodendron ‘Orange Marmalade’ 🧡🍊✨

This rare philodendron is believed to be a hybrid of the Prince of Orange and the Painted Lady, sharing the marble variegation of the Lady while simultaneously inheriting the striking color of the Prince 💃🧑‍🧑‍🧒🫅

Similar to her predecessors, the Orange Marmalade prefers bright, indirect light, well-draining soil. Allow the top 1-2” of soil to dry out between watering.

Avoid direct sunlight, but also consider that too little light will cause the new leaves to develop more green than orange. To promote larger leaf development, provide a climbing structure of some sort, like a moss pole or a trellis.

✨PANSY SPOTLIGHT✨🔦

This week, we’re spotlighting our Cool Wave pansies 🌊💜

While other pansies tend to grow upright, Cool Waves have a trailing growth habit, making them perfect contender for hanging baskets!

They are extremely tough flowers, and often last three seasons long 🤯 Pansies provide your winter gardens with color and food sources for pollinators when resources are limited. Your winter baskets will be spilling over with blooms throughout the winter season, and well into spring!

Temperatures are beginning to drop in Knoxville 🧡🥶❄️

For those of you who still have your houseplants out, be sure to bring them in!! Most houseplants are tropicals, and they won’t survive our colder temperatures.

When bringing your houseplants in, be sure to isolate them from the rest of your collection for a little bit to prevent contamination.

We often recommend treating the soil with Granular Systemic Insecticides (like Bonide’s Systemic Houseplant Insect Control). Oftentimes, even if you can’t see bugs on a plants, they lay eggs in the soil. 🥚🐛🐞

As a preventative during the winter months, you can treat your houseplants regularly with Insecticidal Soaps and/or Neem Oil! It’s good practice to prevent any bug-related tragedies from happening to your houseplant collection 🛡️✨😤

FREE SEMINAR FOR PLANTING TREES AND SHRUBS THIS SATURDAY AT 10:30AM 👀👀

Drop your favorite tree or shrub in the comments 😤🔥😎 ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Fall is the best time to plant larger plant material!! Planting now will give your trees and shrubs the longest amount of time to get established before the heat and stress of next summer.

Pro tips: We generally recommend planting with a soil conditioner to help breakdown the red clay in our area. Use Biotone (beneficial mycorrhiza) to stimulate root growth and give them the best opportunity for success!

Come out and ask questions about planting and maintenance during the seminar this Saturday at 10:30AM 🗓️✍️

✨PANSY SPOTLIGHT 🔦✨

This week, we’re spotlighting our Matrix Clear mix 💛🧡❤️💜

The pansies from the Matrix series have extra large blooms and often produces more flowers per plant than other pansy varieties, making them a true standout 💃🔥

They are known for their consistency throughout the cooler seasons, and often maintain blooms through spring 🙌

Pansies are perfect for filling holes in your garden and providing color during the drearier seasons. Pansies definitely require full sun, though! So if you put them in a container, be sure to place that container in at least 6 hours of sunlight for optimal bloom time.
