The Amazing Tropical Corn Plant!
The Corn Plant or Janette-Craig is a tropical plant that can grow to at least 13' high. It can be reproduced though cuttings. Simply cut a shoot like the one in the picture below. You can soak in water until roots emerge, or you can use a growth hormone and simply plant it in potting soil. The Corn Plant is very popular in the home and in offices as it thrives in medium to lower light. The scientific name of this green and white beauty is massangeana. It can grow outdoors in the southern parts of the USA. Any comments? Post them below if you like!

Spider Plants
The spider plant is extremely hard to kill! One of the best gifts for a brown thumb. Once the plant matures, and roots in the pot the spider plant will grow shoots out that have little white flowers on them. The spider plant can be reproduced by cutting these shoots like the ones below and simply soaking them in water. Over a period of a couple weeks to a month, roots will emerge and then you plant them in regular potting soil. Spider plants can live in a variety of lighting and soil conditions, so they are perfect for the "plant neglector" in your life! The scientific name is Chlorophytum Comosum. The clorophytum comosum make a great hanging plant and can be enjoyed for years! HMMM I wonder what the next post will be, I think I may be running out of plants in my house! I don't think I would know what else to talk about. For more information about the spider plant or to purchase the spider plants click here!
