A real Pointsettia plant is beautiful part of the holidays and with proper care, can last for months. Remember to keep Pointsettias in warm spaces, away from drafts. The tricky thing about buying Pointsettia is that they don’t like the cold, but the weather during the buying season is cold. So, when buying a pointsettia, make sure it is wrapped and transported in a warm car. Don’t stop to run errands and leave the plant in the car. When you get home, find places in the house away from doors and heat vents. If the pointsettia you buy is a gift, take it out of the wrapping until it is time to give – it won’t like sitting in the wrap for long periods. Poinsettias also like even moisture. You want to water the plant thoroughly and then empty the drip tray. Pointsettia are available in a variety of colour and style and very reasonably priced. At Jade Gardens and Greenhouses, you’ll find our smallest 4″ size of pointsettia for $3.99, the 6″ pointsettia for $7.99 (now on sale for $6.99), the 8″ pointsettia for $19.99 and the big 10″ pointsettia for $24.99.

Now is the time to plant. http://www.jadegardens.com/2011/10/21/sale-on-spring-flowering-bulbs-now-is-the-time-to-plant/ http://www.jadegardens.com/2011/10/21/sale-on-spring-flowering-bulbs-now-is-the-time-to-plant/#comments Fri, 21 Oct 2011 15:19:03 +0000 admin http://www.jadegardens.com/?p=514
Hyacinth
Fall is a great time for planting. The ground is soft and wet with all the rain we’ve been having these past few weeks in the Oakville, Mississauga and Milton areas. Spring flowering bulbs such as tulips, daffodils, hyacinth, crocus, snowdrops, allium and many more – all bulbs are on sale now 25% off.
Just in case you missed our last post on planting bulbs, here is a little more information on what to do:

First of all, consider where in your garden are you planning to plant? Since these bulbs will be flowering before the trees are in leaf, you’ll likely have a sunny location. How large is the area? Spring flowers generally look best when planted in clumps. You can mix colour or keep it uniform. When selecting bulbs, you’ll want to choose healthy and large size bulbs. As a rule of thumb, the larger the bulb (considering its type), the better the flower in the Spring.

Position bulbs pointed end up, the pointed end is their stem. If a pointed end is not obvious, then don’t worry about it, just plant the bulb and the stem will naturally find its own way up. The planting hole should be three times deeper than the height of the bulb. For example, if you have a 6.5-centimetre daffodil bulb, then dig your hole 20 centimetres deep and then plant. You may wish to mix some bone meal with the soil, but if you’re starting with good soil already, it shouldn’t be necessary – just an option to encourage root growth.

Daffodils
To prevent the squirrels stealing your newly planted bulbs try outsmarting them by concentrating your bulb plantings in large groups, and then flooding the soil with water after you’ve planted them. This will help to “erase” the marks you leave behind when planting and will also help to close any air pockets you created in planting. To further disguise the bulb locations, you should cover them with approximately five centimetres of leaves and branches. Some avid gardeners suggest that you plant heavy with the daffodils because squirrels don’t tend to like them as much – not sure if this is true or not, but since they are on sale 25% off here at Jade Gardens anyway, maybe its worth a try!

Finally, don’t forget to mark where you’ve planted so that you don’t forget where you’ve already planted. Then you can sit back and be ready to enjoy the fruits of your labour, come spring.
