Rose of Sharon or Hibiscus Tree


The Rose of Sharon or Hibiscus is a very unique plant. It can be mistaken for a tree as it grows up to 15' high. This hedge-like plant can be pruned to any shape. It flowers for two full months in July and August in beautiful Red, Pink, White and Purple flowers. Makes a great privacy barrier or hedge. This plant is fairly drough tolerant, the leaves will droop to let you know if they need water. Very easy to take care of! Click here for even more info on the Rose of Sharon or hibiscus species. Stay tuned for some cool video's that I made in Google's Picasa!

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!
