Pansy Pots

Pansy Pots:

Origin: Hybridization of several species in the genus Viola, particularly Viola tricolor.
History: Pansies have been cultivated since the early 19th century in England and became popular for their wide range of colors and patterns.
Cultivation: Pansies are cool-weather plants, often planted in the early spring or fall.

Best Practices:

Soil: Well-draining, rich in organic matter, with a pH of 6.0 to 6.5.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging.
Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade; in warmer climates, provide some afternoon shade to prevent fading.
Harvesting: Deadhead regularly to prolong blooming and encourage more flowers.

Fall Hurley Pot Color Bowl

General Care for Fall Color Bowls:

Composition: Often include a variety of plants selected for their compatibility in growth needs and for their vibrant fall colors.
Common Plants: May include pansies, chrysanthemums, ornamental kale, ornamental peppers, and other fall-friendly plants.

Best Practices:

Soil: Use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix suitable for container gardening.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Container plants can dry out quickly, especially in windy or sunny conditions, so check moisture levels frequently.
Sunlight: Most fall plants need full to partial sunlight to thrive—around 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day is ideal.
Fertilization: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time. You might not need to fertilize again if the display is meant to last only for the fall season.
Temperature and Protection: While many fall plants are frost-tolerant, sudden severe frosts or snow can damage them. If an unexpected frost is forecast, consider covering the plants or
moving the container to a sheltered location.
Pruning and Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and remove any yellowing or dead leaves to keep the arrangement looking fresh.
This setup not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of outdoor spaces during the cooler months but also takes advantage of the cooler weather to display plants that thrive in fall conditions.

House Plant Pack

Houseplant Begonias:

Origin: Tropical and subtropical regions, primarily South and Central America, Africa, and southern Asia.
History: Widely cultivated as ornamental plants due to their colorful flowers and leaves.
Cultivation: Diverse genus with many species adapted to different environments, ranging from full shade to indirect sunlight conditions.

Best Practices:

Soil: Light, well-draining soil with good organic content.
Watering: Allow the topsoil to dry out between waterings. Avoid watering directly onto the leaves to prevent leaf rot.
Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight; direct sun can scorch the leaves.
Harvesting: Not typically harvested, but pruning helps maintain shape and encourages fuller growth.

Aglaonema Assorted:

Origin: Native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and New Guinea.
History: Known for its easy care and the ability to thrive in low-light conditions, making it popular for indoor use.
Cultivation: Often used in interiorscapes due to its tolerance to less-than-ideal conditions like low light and dry air.

Best Practices:

Soil: Well-draining potting soil.
Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not wet; reduce watering in the winter.
Sunlight: Thrives in low to bright indirect sunlight; too much direct sun can cause leaf burn.
Harvesting: Generally not harvested, but old or yellowing leaves should be removed to keep the plant healthy.

Ctenanthe Assorted (Part of the Marantaceae family):

Origin: Native to tropical regions of Central and South America, particularly Brazil.
History: Ctenanthe plants, closely related to Calathea and Maranta, are known for their striking leaf patterns and have been popular in indoor plant collections for their decorative leaves.
Cultivation: These plants thrive in a humid, tropical-like environment, which makes them ideal for indoor cultivation under the right conditions.

Best Practices:

Soil: Use a well-draining, light, and airy potting mix, ideally one that retains moisture without becoming soggy. A mixture of potting soil, peat, and perlite usually works well.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ctenanthe plants are sensitive to fluoride and chlorine in tap water, which can cause
leaf tip burn, so use distilled or non-chlorinated water if possible.
Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause the vibrant leaf colors to fade.
Humidity: Requires high humidity to thrive. Regular misting, a pebble tray, or a humidifier can help maintain an ideal environment.
Temperature: Best kept at temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every month during the growing season (spring and summer), reducing to every other month in the fall and winter.
Pruning and Maintenance: Prune back any dead or yellowing leaves to encourage new growth and keep the plant looking its best. Regularly clean the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and help the plant breathe.

These care tips should help keep your Ctenanthe plants healthy and vibrant, showcasing their unique foliage as part of your indoor garden.

Mums

Chrysanthemums (Mums):

Origin: Native to East Asia, particularly China and Japan.
History: Chrysanthemums have been cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BCE. Highly symbolic in East Asian cultures, they represent longevity and vitality.
Cultivation: Mums are photoperiodic plants, meaning their flowering is triggered by the shorter days and longer nights experienced in the fall.

Best Practices:

Soil: Prefer well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Sunlight: Mums require plenty of sunlight to thrive. Aim for at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced fertilizer designed for flowering plants every 6 to 8 weeks until the buds begin to open.
Pinching: Pinch back tips and disbud to encourage bushier growth and more blooms.
Overwintering: In colder climates, mulch heavily after the ground freezes to protect roots or bring potted mums indoors before the first frost.

Winter Salad Mix

Arugula:

Origin: Native to the Mediterranean region.
History: Has been consumed since Roman times and was traditionally used both as a vegetable and an aphrodisiac.
Cultivation: Grows well in moderate to cool climates and is often planted in spring or fall.

Best Practices:

Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6 to 7.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Arugula needs consistent moisture to avoid bitterness in the leaves.
Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade, with at least 3-4 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Harvesting: Harvest young leaves for a milder flavor by snipping leaves at the base. Regular harvesting encourages new growth.

Lettuce Gourmet Salad Blend:

Origin: Derived from wild lettuce in the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
History: Cultivation dates back to at least 4500 BC in Egypt, where it was used to produce oil and revered for its sacred and medicinal properties.
Cultivation: Includes a mix of different lettuce varieties, typically chosen for diverse colors, textures, and flavors, thriving best in cooler temperatures.

Best Practices:

Soil: Rich, loose soil that drains well, with a pH around 6.5.
Watering: Maintain consistent moisture. Lettuce roots are shallow, so they require frequent watering, especially in dry conditions.
Sunlight: Prefers full sun in cooler climates and partial shade in warmer areas to prevent bolting (going to seed prematurely).
Harvesting: Harvest outer leaves first, or cut the whole plant at the base. For a continuous supply, sow seeds every two weeks.

Kale Lacinato (also known as Dinosaur Kale or Tuscan Kale):

Origin: Traces back to Europe in the Middle Ages with a strong historical presence in Italy.
History: A staple in Italian cuisine, especially in Tuscany. Known for its role in traditional dishes like ‘ribollita’ (a hearty Tuscan soup).
Cultivation: Prefers cooler climates and can grow in harsher conditions compared to other greens, making it a versatile and hardy plant.

Best Practices:

Soil: Enjoys rich, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH.
Watering: Provide regular waterings to keep soil moist. Kale is somewhat drought tolerant, but consistent moisture will produce the best leaves.
Sunlight: Full sun to light shade. In hot climates, light shade can help reduce stress on the plants.
Harvesting: Pick the outer leaves first, allowing the center to continue growing. Kale can be harvested throughout the winter in many areas, as the cold enhances its sweetness.

Holiday Dinner Pack

Collards Assorted:

Origin: Native to the Eastern Mediterranean and Asia Minor.
History: Have been cultivated for thousands of years, with records dating back to ancient Greek and Roman civilizations.
Cultivation: Thrives in cooler weather and can tolerate frost, which often enhances their flavor.

Best Practices:

Soil: Rich, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.8.
Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil moist, especially in dry conditions.
Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade.
Harvesting: Harvest leaves from the bottom up, taking the larger outer leaves and allowing the younger inner leaves to continue growing.

Cabbage Assorted:

Origin: Europe, prior to being brought to the Americas in the 1600s.
History: Widely cultivated for its hardiness and adaptability, with a long history of use in Europe dating back to the Middle Ages.
Cultivation: Grows best in cool climates and is usually planted in early spring or late summer.

Best Practices:

Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost or manure.
Watering: Consistent moisture is crucial, especially during head formation.
Sunlight: Full sun, although a little shade can help in hotter climates.
Harvesting: Harvest when the head is firm and tight, cutting it off at the base of the plant.

Broccoli Assorted:

Origin: Originated in Italy off the Mediterranean.
History: Has been enjoyed since the Roman Empire and was selectively bred to improve its flavor and size.
Cultivation: Cool-season crop that is more heat tolerant than some other cruciferous vegetables.

Best Practices:

Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist throughout the growing season.
Sunlight: Full sun is ideal, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Harvesting: Harvest when the heads are firm and tight before the flowers start to open. Cut the central head along with 6 inches of stem to encourage side shoots for later harvests.
