Sansevieria Sensation.

Happy Saturday my fellow plant enthusiasts! This month of January has passed on by very quickly and I cannot believe that February is just around the corner! It is still winter and a good way to spruce up your indoor areas in your home or office is to bring vibrant plants! I did acquire some plants at Lowes as you can see in my previous post and I did happen to get another. This plant is a Sansevieria Trifasciata Zeylanica or Mother in Laws Tongue plant. I normally would get the variegated variety with the yellow borders but I wanted to get another variety this time :) and I am very satisfied with what I brought home. A little while ago I did find this plant at my local grocery store, I wasn't even planning to buy a plant but when I saw the display, I could not resist! This plant was only $2.00 and it is very healthy! There are new stalks forming which will eventually grow into tall plants. Mother in law's tongues are excellent for improving indoor air quality in your home by removing unnatural compounds left behind from products and common household items. I have heard that these plants grow very slow, but from my experience, they grow relatively fast. These are great for studio apartments to add some decorative modern elements. I will post an update on this plant every few weeks to keep track of the progress. If you have any questions about my houseplants or general concerns about care, feel free to leave a comment below. Thank you all for reading and have a wonderful weekend!

New-ness is Upon Us!

Hello all, happy 2015!! I hope that you all have enjoyed the first half of January. I did want to present to you two new plants that I recently acquired at Lowes, of course from the clearance shelf. The first plant that caught my attention was a Calathea Rosea Picta plant which is very closely related to prayer plants (marantacae); and this plant also retain the ability to open the leaves during the day and to close them at night. This is a very interesting plant! I am very amused with the leaf's multicolor design elements and the deep purple on the undersides are gorgeous! This plant only cost $1.50 which is an amazing deal for an amazing plant!
The next plant is a Dracaena Deremensis 'Lemon Surprise.' In the past I have had the plain lemon lime variety but never this kind. I absolutely love how looking overhead of this plant, creates a swirling effect which is very unique and cool! This dracaena was only $1.50 as well.
Both of these plants do have potential to flourish. There is some brown and crispy foliage but they should be able to bypass them. I love doing plant rescues, which give a plant of any kind a second chance at life of being very healthy in a loving home! I hope that all of you will have a fantastic Wednesday! Thank you for reading, and look forward to more posts this week! :)
