Popular tropical plants for spring 2014

April 7, 2014 / Jennifer Lancaster / Uncategorized

Image of a Banana Plant

Banana Plant

The very popular choice in a plant requires a very bright and direct sun location as well as a rich soil. Banana plants like lots of mulch and organic matter as well as lots of nitrogen and potassium (chicken manure seems to be a popular choice for banana plants)Your banana plant will thrive in a warm and high humidity location. Banana plants don’t like extreme temperatures (not winter hardy at all) or being hungry/thirsty.


Image of a plant called Rita's Neon

Rita’s Neon

This specimen of Fern boasts a beautiful, consistently bright lime colour. In a low light location you’ll see an even more unique and intense lime colour. This is a fabulous alternative to the tried and true Boston Fern but requires much the same care. Rita’s Neon will thrive in bright but indirect light, with high humidity and even moisture. If you plant outdoors, please select a sheltered area as wind can cause damage to fronds. Keep soil evenly moist but not wet. This plant needs to be indoors before frost or snow.

Image of a plant called Kangaroo Paws

Kangaroo Paws

This tropical beauty is full of exotic blooms and you’ll reap the benefits of providing this plant with full sun and a well-drained location. Kangaroo Paws do require liberal watering while in bloom and a little organic matter to fertilize is a help also. Enjoy this prolific bloomer as a plant, or cut the blooms for your vase.

Fall mums and decor for the Mississauga, Oakville, Georgetown and Milton areas

September 17, 2013 / Jennifer Lancaster / Uncategorized

Fall mums

Fall is here and we’ve got a great selection of mums in bloom. You’ll find all sizes and colours available. Mums are perennial here in Southern Ontario, as long as you ensure that you have them planted in the ground at least 6 weeks before the first frost. The roots need adequate time to establish before the cold season. If you are planting your mums in a pot, the pot must be two and a half times the size of the root ball in order for it to winter over.

With the hot summer conditions coming to the Milton, Oakville and Mississauga areas, look to cacti and succulents for your garden!

May 30, 2013 / Jennifer Lancaster / Uncategorized

Cacti

Flowering cacti

The consensus seems to be that 2013 will be a year for a hot and dry summer here in the greater Toronto area. It’s only May 30 today and already it’s a scorcher out there.

In Oakville, Milton, Mississauga and other nearby communities, we tend to have municipal watering banns in the summer when it gets really hot and dry, as an effort to conserve water. While we completely support water conserving initiatives, once the water in your rain barrels has been used up, there are little watering options for the annual bedding plants you may have planted.
Succulents in containers

Cacti and Succulents


Our solution is to use cactus and succulents right in your gardens and containers, particularly in those really sunny locations where other plants just can’t make it without the ongoing watering. There are more than a thousand species of Cacti, and while we don’t sell them all, at Jade Gardens and Greenhouses, we certainly boast one of the most extensive collections of cacti and succulents in the local area.

Cactus in bloom

Cacti in bloom

The important fact about using cacti and succulents in your garden, is that most cacti have a spiny stem and no leaves. Without this exposed leaf surface, cacti are able to retain moisture longer and the spiny stems act to reflect the sun. Succulents share much of the same care requirements as cacti, and are a great choice to take the heat. Jades, aeonium, aloe plants, so many choices. Cacti and succulents need a full sun location, a porus pot or well-drained soil and very little fertilizer. Many cacti and succulents flower and are quite a striking addition to your garden. Come on in to Jade Gardens and Greenhouses for advice on incorporating cacti and/or succulents into your garden and patio or deck. We have some great ideas and a great selection.
