Get in the holiday spirit! These easy to care for houseplants will add a holiday touch to your home or office. Here are a few of our favorites.
Aglaonema are one of the easiest houseplants to grow. Also known as Chinese Evergreen, you can grow this plant in low, medium or bright light situations and still enjoy its colorful foliage. Just avoid direct sun. Aglaonema will tolerate dry soil, but does best with regular watering.
With its red flowers and dark green foliage, Anthurium delivers the best of holiday colors. Anthurium thrives when placed near a bright window. It will do okay in low light situations, but don't expect it to flower as well. Allow the soil to dry slightly between each watering.
Kalanchoes are succulents with thick green leaves and bright, cheerful flowers. These plants prefer bright, indirect light in order to flower well. As with all succulents, it's best to avoid over-watering. Let the plant dry, then water thoroughly.
Peperomia plants make great additions to your desk or table. Easy to grow, Peperomia will do well in low to medium light. Water this plant thoroughly, then let it dry out slightly before you water it again.
Spathiphyllum, also known as Peace Lilies grow naturally in the shade so they are a good choice for an area that doesn't get a lot of natural light. Water enough to keep the soil moist. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely. Peace Lilies are among the easiest plants to grow in your home or office. They are also one of the best plants for improving air quality indoors. As a general rule, all of these houseplants will do well when kept at normal room temperatures.
You'll want to keep your houseplants healthy and growing by feeding them with a balanced fertilizer such as 20-20-20.
Regular supplements with Super Thrive, a vitamin solution that includes Kelp will help your plants thrive. Houseplants make easy, beautiful gifts for teachers, co-workers and hostesses. They're a gift that will last long after the holidays are over.
