Erma Bombeck once said ” Never go to a Doctor whose houseplants have died.” I always enjoyed Ermas take on life and in this case I’m sure she was asking why would you even go to a Doctor who can’t keep a simple house plant alive. I’m sure no one ever intends to kill a house plant even a Doctor. What everyone often times overlooks is alittle preventive maintenance goes a long way not only for humans but house plants.

 

Take cleaning for example.

Outdoor plants are washed by the rain, and dusted off by the wind.

“Like people, plants respond to extra attention.”
 –H. Peter Loewer, author

 

Peridonically cleaning of house plants not only inproves appearance, but stimulates growth, and reduces the chances for insects. Another thing they love the attention. As with us no plant likes to be left ina corner and forgotten. Try it!

How to clean, well mostly here at Plantscaping we use a feather duster. Then on occaission spray with plant shine. All of the above can be purchased at the “Store” along with “one on one how to’s” of plant care and other prevenative tip’s. Oh, no plant shine on plants with “hairy” leaves such as Violets.

Now go and show a houseplant alittle LOVE. They will return it in many ways. Take a deep breath…ahhh now that’s just one of the ways.

African violets are among the easiest high-impact house plants you can grow. Once you master a few basic plant care steps, you can have blooming flowers year-round. 

Light – Moderate to bright, indirect, indoor light.

WATER- African violets prefer a moist, but not wet, soil. Water before the soil has dried completely. African violets can be watered from either the top or bottom. Use warm or room temperature water. Cold water can cause spotting. Before putting the plant back in the light, make sure to dry off its leaves and center. 

Environment - Violet leaves are covered with tiny little “hairs” that can trap dust and animal hair. Just use a soft-bristled paintbrush to brush off dust or debris. 

Tips: Pinch off spent blossoms and blossom stems to encourage development of new blooms. Place plants away from floor vents, fans, or entrance doors to avoid air drafts and bursts of cold air.

History of the African Violet:

   In 1892 Baron Walter von Saint Paul found the purple flowered plants in the Usambara Mountains in what is now known as Tanzania. He sent seeds from the plants to his father in Germany. Later, seeds were given to Hermann Wendland of the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hanover, Germany. The plants were classified in the Family Gesneriaceae. The plants were given the generic name of saintpaulia in honor of the von Saint Paul family. The American history of the African violet began in 1926 when Armacost and Royston of West Los Angeles, California imported seeds from Germany and England. Since that time African violets have become one of the world’s most popular house plants.
