					<description><![CDATA[Bros, I just wanted to pop in and give a quick update on my three (god damn right) Fiddle Leaf Fig trees. They are all insanely large at this point. I&#8217;ve trimmed each of them back at least once, if not twice. Trimming back the trees gives my porch ceiling a little breathing room (ya know?), and if you trim your plant back right after a leafing out point, often times you&#8217;ll end up with multiple new branches. Last summer I trimmed back my OG Ikea tree in a hope to encourage new branching (which it did). I took the cutting and plopped it in a jar full of water. It was the start of the fall, and I wasn&#8217;t expecting much growth (if any) because this is the beginning of the trees typical dormant period. I watered that pathetic little leaf for months and months, with no sign of anything. I had basically given into the fact that it would never ever root, ever. Then on the verge of calling it a day, like magic, I checked for growth to find an insane root ball! So awesome! It&#8217;s even grown a new leaf &#8211; how cute. I&#8217;ve now potted it, and am babying my new baby. Feel free to share your Fiddle Leaf Fig experiences in the comments below. There seems to be a big learning curve regarding this finicky tree and we can all learn a bit from each other. Lots of comments and insight were left the last time I posted about the tree and the first, but I am curious of others experiences with tree trimming and propagation. I&#8217;ll start, should I prune this tree pictured below, or should I hold out hope that it will be all sorts of wonderfuld and bend towards the light? Lay it on me! Share this...

					<description><![CDATA[Hey Guys! I wasn&#8217;t expecting to take so much time in-between-posts, I had put this one all together and hoped to finish it during the course of a long train ride, but instead I just decided to not finish it. The fam and I went on a much needed vacation last week. The boys have finally reached an age where the make decent traveling companions. We headed out to the west coast to start our vacation journey in Portland, however we made the mistake and took the discount airline, Frontier. Due to a delayed flight we missed our connecting flight and the airline was unable to book us on another flight (so lame). So, we scrambled, emptied our wallets, and somehow made it to Seattle at 2AM, just in time to hop on a train. At least we got to see the entire west coast from top to bottom, which bt-dubs, was insanely beautiful. Did you guys know that spring exists in other places? We got to Seattle just as the tree buds began to open &#8211; so jealous. We ended up a few days later in Palm Springs where we rented a beautiful house. I don&#8217;t want to tell too much cause my plan was to do a whole trip recap sometime in the near future. For now I am in bed with a cold (cause that&#8217;s what happens after the best vacay) and struggling to finish up this post. On to business, today I&#8217;m sharing a newer favorite house plant, the ZZ plant (aka Zanzibar Gem). Let me start by saying that I have four of these things, and have never had as much as a wilted stem no matter how much I neglect them. I purchased my first plant about two years ago, enough time to learn that these guys are slow growers. Here in the midwest, the ZZ Plant usually puts out a few new shoots around the new year which take about 2-3 months to be fully realized (warmer temperatures will typically result in more growth). The thing I love about them is their vibrant green, glossy, symmetrical leaf pattern. It&#8217;s so perfect it can often be mistaken for plastic, but don&#8217;t be fooled my friends. For all you brown thumbs out there, this plant can tolerate low-light and neglect, and still pull off babe plant status. These should be easy for you to find, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hey Guys! So excited that it&#8217;s almost the weekend, my girlfriends (aka the She&#8217;Vaughns) and I have a whole 48 hours away from life, where we plan on mad chilling and drankin&#8217; large amounts of champagne. It will be amazing. I&#8217;ve got another indoor house plant for you today, the spider plant (aka the airplane plant). This one is a good one for all you &#8220;brown thumbs&#8221; out there as it&#8217;s very forgiving, and is a good introduction to rearing plant babies (aka propagation). If my memory serves me correctly, the spider plant and the heart shaped philodendron popped my plant cherry, and I&#8217;ve been hooked ever since. The spider plant is highly adaptable to lots of different conditions (aka it&#8217;s hard to kill) which is what makes it a perfect beginner plant. They are called spider plants because they look like huge green variegated spiders, and they even make spider-like baby plants called spiderettes that hang down from long thread-like stems. The spiderettes can be easily propegated to make new spider plants, and will make you feel like a horticultural wizard. Just like a lot of plants do, you will notice that the spider plant flowers, and produces a lot of these spiderettes in the spring. Once the spiderette is a decent size, place it in well drained soil while keeping it attached to the mother plant. After a few weeks, the spiderette begins to take root, then you can trim it from the mother and blamo, you have a new plant! Botanical name: Chlorophytum comosum Like I said, these plants can put up with a lot of different conditions, but they prefer bright indirect light. Plant them in well drained soil and water them heftily but do not allow the soil to become soggy or their roots may begin to rot. They can even handle drying out between waterings just in case you forget. Browning leaves is common in spider plants. If your plant begins to brown it usually is because of the fluoride found in tap water which can cause build up in the soil. Trim off the brown and try watering with distilled water or rain water for a few waterings to flush out salts. Light: Prefer bright indirect sunlight Watering: Water the plant regularly making sure that the plant is well watered but not soggy. The plant can tolerate drying out between waterings. These plants [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello cool people of the internet! So, you guys seemed pretty into this house plants idea, which is awesome because I really wanted to do it! It&#8217;s tons of fun for me, not only do I have a good time photographing and writing about plants, it also gets me amped for spring. This week has been kinda nuts, but I can just tell spring is coming! I mentioned it instagram last week, but both my boys injured their appendages and I spent a lot of hours in the urgent care getting them fixed up. Young G-man is still down with a broken wrist, but he&#8217;s making do with his little paw in a cast. I also just finished booking our spring vacation, we&#8217;ll be taking the Amtrak from Portland to LA right down the pacific coast line, and then we&#8217;ll be spending some good time enjoying R&#038;R in the desert and maybe a little LEGOLOAND action. I&#8217;ve never had to plan a trip with multiple destinations before, nobody told me how much coordinating goes into that type of thing. Needless to say, I&#8217;m excited (and excited is a mild way of putting it) that our brood is finally old enough to take on big adventures! Anyways, plants! Today I&#8217;m sharing with you the diva supermodel of indoor house plants, the Maidenhair Fern. What a babe, amiright? All this beauty comes at a cost though, this plant requires a perfect not too hot, not too cold, not too dry environment. She also doesn&#8217;t want to be in the dark, but she doesn&#8217;t like direct sunlight either. If she were a 80&#8217;s rock star she would want a bowl of M&#038;M&#8217;s with all the brown ones removed. She&#8217;s a total pain, I know! Don&#8217;t overwater or her roots will rot, don&#8217;t underwater and she&#8217;ll dry out, always feigning suicide. Geez. Here&#8217;s what I do with mine. Although the fern is typically sensitive to drafts, I set mine above a radiator on a window bench in our living room. The sunlight is bright but not direct, as the porch on the front of our house helps to disperse the light. I water the plant twice a week, on Mondays and Thursday (I can appreciate that it likes a schedule), makings sure that there is never water sitting in the base of the pot. To do this, I keep keep the plant in the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Whazzup! I thought it might be cool to do this thing where I share with you guys my favorite house plants. What da ya think? I know a lot of people feel intimated by plants, but I don&#8217;t think a brown thumb should be anything that prevents someone from trying. I&#8217;ve killed so many plants in my day, and I&#8217;m sure I have more to kill in my future. I always see it as a learning experience; did I give a plant too much water, not enough sun, etc. Then I replace it and move on, taking what I&#8217;ve learned and applying it to the next one. Today I&#8217;m sharing the Oxalis plant, it basically looks like a giant purple shamrock, is one of the more forgiving plants I&#8217;ve encountered, and you guys, the shape of the leaves are pretty endearing. The plant is not your typical root based house plant, instead it has bulbs. The bulbs are the reason why these things are hard to kill. Forget to water your plant? No biggie, it might shrivel up and wilt, but the bulbs are still alive and will regenerate new leaves as soon as environmental conditions improve. These plants also look great in a window box, and as soon as it warms up, I&#8217;ll be moving mine outside for the summer. I would highly recommend this plant to someone who is a bit shy of taking the plunge into plant ownership. Light: Not fussy, but bright light is best. Watering: Water the plant regularly soaking the soil, wait until the top layer of soil dries out before re-watering. This plant isn&#8217;t picky though and can survive if a watering is skipped. So let me know what you think about this mini series? I&#8217;ve learned a thing or two about taking care of plants and I&#8217;d be happy to answer any questions you guys have. Planter can be found over here! Share this... Facebook Pinterest Twitter]]></description>
