Wrapping Up July

Hi Dynamic Gardening readers, welcome! The month of July has went by very quickly and will come to a close very shortly. All of my plants including my houseplants and herbs are doing well as usual. Today's sunset is very beautiful: 

I am pretty sure that all of my plants enjoyed this sunshine. I counted all of my plants that I currently have, and I am at 18 plants now. It does seem like a lot now that I think about it. In the windowsill are my herbs: Sweet Basil, Chives, and some Rosemary seedlings that I planted not too long ago. On the kitchen counter are the houseplants: Lucky Bamboo, my 4 Phalaenopsis Orchids, the 2 lithops plants, Peace Lily, Dracaena Lemon Surprise, and the Purple Waffle Plant. There are a few plants in the living space that are not pictured above: Golden Pothos, Syngonium, Mother in Laws Tongue, Aloe Vera, and the Purple Wandering Jew Plant. I love every one of these plants as they continue to thrive and advance. I hope that you all have had a great month of July. I will see you all again in August showing some more updates and discoveries. Thank you for taking the time to read this post, and see you soon!

New Swirly Lucky Bamboo

Hello all; I hope that you all are having a fantastic day! We are over a month into the summer season! Lately it has been unbearably hot which comes with summer definitely. As for the garden, everything is still doing great. The plants are continuing to flourish amazingly! I do have a new addition to share with you. Here it is:

It is a Lucky Bamboo plant and I love these a lot! This one in particular is the curly or "swirly" kind as I like to say. I purchased this plant from a local mall. The red bottle that the plant is in was a clearance item from Michaels which was a great find. This plant is on my countertop that gets daily western sunlight filtered through the blinds which is ideal. Lucky Bamboo or Dracaena Sanderiana plants do not like harsh, direct sunlight which can make the leaves fade, and affect the plants growth performance and health. With that in mind, it is a great idea to avoid south facing windows with these plants. A very convenient thing about Lucky Bamboo plants is that you can grow them in soil or in water. My plant is currently growing in water; later on I might try to grow it in soil. If you're a beginner with houseplants, I would definitely recommend getting a Lucky Bamboo plant. They do not require a lot of care to grow properly which is a plus! I hope that you all have enjoyed this post on my new  curly addition to the garden. If you have any questions or comments, do not hesitate, and leave it down below. Thank you all for reading this post!! :)))

Awesome Blooms

Hey plant lovers, it is now July and there are so many great things in store for this month! Lately I have been venturing through garden centers to get new ideas for my garden at home. I also loved the amount of color that I have came across. Here are some beautiful marigolds showcasing off this amazing shade of a yellow-ish gold:

These look amazing! If I had an outdoor area to garden in, I would have gotten these. The next ones that I saw were some brilliant purple petunias:

These purple blooms against the lush green foliage is very enticing and these are all so beautiful!! Both of these plants are great additions to have actively in your garden this time of the year. Marigolds are annuals, meaning that by the next growing season you may need to replace them. Petunias on the opposite side are perennials. They can last for at least two growing seasons. Both marigolds as well as petunias love an abundance of light to thrive very well. Great locations for marigolds and petunias are in hanging baskets on sunny porches or in a flower bed. Hopefully in the future, I can have an outdoor space to grow some marigolds and petunias. I hope that you enjoyed today's post! If you have any comments or questions, feel free to leave them below. Have a great first Monday of July!
