Hey all!

I realize I've been quiet for several weeks now, it's been....hectic, to say the least.
If you saw my last post, my dad was in the hospital following a seizure that caused a car accident. They found a tumor in the frontal lobe of his brain, which is what caused the seizure.
On July 31st he had brain surgery to remove the tumor, they estimated the surgery would be approx 4hrs, however it ended up being double that! The following Saturday (Aug 5th) after he had surgery he was released and able to come home because of how well he was recovering. The neurosurgeon and staff at WRH (Hotel Dieu) were absolutely phenomenal. The tumor was sent to be checked as well, and it came back as benign. So good news all around!!
Now we just have to wait for the doctor to give the go-ahead for him to have his license back, I know my dad is eager to get back to work.
I also had a few personal events in the past few weeks that have required much of my attention, and prevented me from being able to put energy and time into posting on here, and for that I sincerely apologize. Thank you all for your patience and kindness. 😊

So, now that things have somewhat slowed, and kids are back in school, I will be posting some photos of what I have currently in stock, with some discounted plants as well!

There is much more that goes on "behind the scenes" to get plants healthy and ready for you. This is my temp workstation, where sections get cleared for us to sit an eat meals and so I'm nearby for my kids. Usually I do all of this stuff in my plant room in the basement. That said, because it's summer and my hubby prefers cooler house temps than I do, the plant room is a bit chilly for most of these (especially the props). Going to be getting some heat mats soon, so I can resume operation in the plant room instead of on our dining room table. 😀

It's Talk it out Tuesday.
Today I would like to talk about plant quarantine and buying from big box stores.

Since one of my main goals is sourcing plants cheap so I can sell them at more reasonable prices, I wanted to be transparent about where all I get my plants from. I do on occasion purchase from big box stores, I won't hide that fact. And often times, those plants are often either over-watered, sitting in their decor pots full of water, planted in moisture retaining soil, infested with pests, and just really not doing the greatest. The only plus side is you can sometimes find rare plants for cheaper! But the cost could mean that you're compromising your other houseplants.

So here is what I do when I get a plant from a big box store.
-If I don't have time to look it over right away, I make sure I set it away from all other plants. Even if it's from a trusted place (I've learned my lesson way too many times).
-Check the soil. Is it really wet? If it has a nursery pot inside a deco pot, is it sitting in water? Empty any extra water if the soil is super super wet and the leaves are drooping, now is the best time to remove all the soil and check your roots. Root rot will present with brown-mushy roots, and yellowing leaves that are floppy/droopy. If there is root rot but still some good roots left, trim off the mushy parts and then spray them with hydrogen peroxide. Discard the soil it came in.
-Next while the plant is out of the dirt it is the best time to also check your plant over for pests, aphids, mealy bugs etc etc. Give it a good look over, making sure to check in all the cracks and creases of your plant, the underside of the leaves. Even if I don't see any, I still will spray my plant with rubbing alcohol making sure it's well saturated, let it sit for about 10-15 mins and then rinse.
-While the plant is resting with its alcohol bath, I will wash the nursery pot and spray it with alcohol, just incase there are any eggs hiding. Then rinse the plant off with water and it's ready to be replanted. Use a well draining soil.
-Once it is potted, I will then give both the soil and the leaves a spray with a Neem Oil mixture (mine also has eucalyptus and citrus oil in it).
-Still quarantine the plant for about 4-6 weeks minimum, spraying with the neem mixture at least once a week. You can put in an entirely different room, or in a clean container by a window (just make sure when you open the lid to bring it away from any nearby plants).

Annnddd even with all of that, there is still a chance of getting pests! So, quarantine all of your new plants, even if you trust the seller/nursery!☺️
