an orchid plant with purple and yellow flowers in a pot sitting on a wooden table
Sarah Gerrard-Jones on Instagram: "There is no need to keep the sticks after your Phalaenopsis Orchid has flowered. They are mainly used to transport the plants so the stem don’t break in transit. After flowering remove the sticks from the pot and let it rebloom in its own unique way. #orchid #orchidlover #plantcare #plantcaretips #houseplants #indoorplants"

Anya Lautenbach on Instagram: "Follow @anya_thegarden_fairy 📣MORE IN MY NEW BOOK! Link in bio CREATING ROSE PLANTS FROM ROSES GIFTED TO US *It’s best to buy and use locally grown roses WHEN TO DO IT 🧚🏻 Between Early Spring to early Autumn HOW TO DO IT 🧚🏻Cut the stems into 2.5” length cuttings with a leaf node in the middle 🧚🏻 Place your cuttings in a tray filled with peat free compost mixed with some horticultural grit 🧚🏻Water your cuttings just after placing them in the tray and keep them outside in a light place out of direct sun. Roses can survive for decades and can be grown in families for generations. Propagating from roses given to us for special occasions such as weddings or welcoming a new life can be very meaningful and in some cases healing. I’m sure many of you

woodlark® • ashley on Instagram: "clay flower frogs 🌼 one last summer project— have been seeing these clay flower frogs making their rounds the past few months and I’m excited to get around to trying them out. This particular design was inspired by ones that @bylaurenmcdermott made (thank you!) You all know how I love finding ways to reuse these glass yogurt jars so that’s how I sized them. These can be used to hold cut flowers or to propagate plants and I sealed mine with a waterproof varnish. Materials: glass jar, air dry clay, waterproof sealant Instructions: - Roll clay out - Cut out a circle and use water to smooth out the edges - Create the scalloped edge and smooth - Cut out the holes— I used a metal straw - Let dry completely - Seal with a waterproof glaze/varnish #lowwaste

a white and purple flower in a pot
Nick Rust on Instagram: "In search of a wild new houseplant? Well, here ya go! The white bat flower, or Tacca integrifolia, is an outstanding species of flowering plant from South Asia and Eastern China. It is large, glossy, has a gorgeously elegant flower, and is SUPER EASY to care for. As long as they have enough room to grow, they thrive in low to medium light and like to stay damp. The most difficult part about them is finding one for sale! This is the closest thing to owning an alien or an AI generated flower that is actually real. - #houseplants #houseplant #houseplantclub #bat #plantreel #plantreels #flower #bloom #flowerstagram #plantsofinstagram #plants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantsmakemehappy #orchidcollector #orchidflower #orchidsofinstagram #orchidlover #plant #nature #nofil

Sunflower Steve on Instagram: "This was a grass pasture to start with, so it didn't have many broad leafed weeds. I mowed it very short and marked all of my plant spacing and row width using upside down paint. I pressure washed 100 pudding holes and then planted 100 roots. Pressure wash, plant, repeat. Since I didn't disturb any soil between the plants, no new weeds grew. I only had 4 peonies out of 1000 that didn't come up in the spring. I weed whacked between plants and mowed the rows for 2 years while they got established. I mow very short right over the peonies in the spring until I see the peonies start to poke up. Once the peonies are big, they outcompete anything directly under them until after the bloom. I mow once a week until the bloom. It was an experiment, and it seems to

Corey on Instagram: "It’s no secret that many species of mint in the Mentha genus have insecticidal properties due to their mentol, alcohol, and terpene content, but I wanted to test its effectiveness against the birds that have taken a fancy to my blackberry bush. It’s definitely a win, and a great use for the rogue mint sprigs trying to overtake the rest of my garden with their creeping rhizomes. Free, sustainable, simple to make, and effective. These are the kind of simple wins we all can have, and that our planet needs.🙌 #gardeninghacks #gardeningtips #amateurgardener #learnnewthings #experiment #sustainability #nopesticides #holisticapproach #growyourfood #feralpursuits #rewildyourlife #rewilding #earthskills"
