I always get asked how to get orchids to rebloom?Mine always rebloom where they receive a couple hours of bright or direct morning light( on my windowsills). I water them once every week or two with maybe 1/4- 1/2 cup of water. After reblooming I move some into my living room which doesn’t have that required lighting and they can stay in bloom for months! I have heard of people fertilizing every other watering… but I don’t seem to need to do that. #lovemyorchids #orchidplants #phalenopsisorchid #phalenopsis

Hi Sooke! Looking for a delightful time browsing for ideas and shopping for treasures? Stop by our store at 2052 Otter Point Road! We have flowers, gifts and beautiful things galore! :-)

The Dreamweaver design features an iconic 1896 zodiac illustration by beloved Art Nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha, depicting a woman majestically surrounded by the by the 12 zodiac signs and adorned with intricate celestial jewellery. The background of this beautiful piece comes from a floral ink-on-silk scroll painting by Ueno Setsugaku, created in the 1860’s. To add even more detail to this design, we embellished the woman’s remarkable crown with a shining star, and trimmed everything with Mucha’s zodiac signs on a deep burgundy background. The result is an opulent and elegant take on Mucha’s work, with a nod to the luxe bohemianism of the 1970’s.

AIR PLANT (Tillandsia) Air plants are unique and fascinating plants that popular for their low-maintenance requirements and ability to grow without soil. As part of the Bromeliad family, air plants are related to pineapples. Air plants attach themselves to other plants or objects and absorb nutrients and moisture from the air. How to grow air plants Grow air plants in bright but indirect light, such as near a window. They can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much can cause their leaves to burn. Air plants require temperatures between 10-32°C and moderate humidity levels, around 40-60 percent, making them ideal for growing in terrariums and bathrooms. We love how they can be displayed in so many creative ways, such as in glass terrariums, hanging planters, or mounted on to driftwood and crystals. We have a good assortment in our shop and would love to help you select the right plant and display object to make your air plant stand out!

This table is great! #chestirecat #aliceinwonderland

Snake Plant (Dracaena) - one of our favourite houseplants! Some know this sculptural plant as Mother-in-Law's Tongue - an upright grouping of sword-like foliage that is native to Asia and Africa and incredibly easy to grow. They are known to have a number of health benefits, including filtering indoor air, removing toxic pollutants and effective against allergies. According to Feng Shui teachings, Snake Plants may enhance the “energy” of a space, helping to attract money, prosperity, and good energy. While snake plants have some impressive qualities, it is important to remember that they need to be located in the correct space to work their magic. The best location for snake plants is at the entrance of a house, to protect it from bad energy, improve the environment generally, and attract wealth. The plants will help to cleanse any bad energy that you bring home with you from people or places outside your house. How to Care for Snake Plants Snake plants require good drainage in order to avoid root rot. A few hours of light each day will help the plants grow new stems. Snake plants require little water. In fact, watering them once or twice a month is typically sufficient. Wait until the soil is completely dry before watering. Snake plants like to be root-bound and can stay in the same pot for several years, while replacing some surface soil annually. Repot once the plant is close to bursting its pot.

Some info I found on the internet to help to care for your Lithop plants! These popular novelty houseplants thrive in low humidity, they need infrequent watering and care, and are relatively easy to grow, With their small size and slow, compact growth these plants do not take up much room. Lithops are long lived – up to 40 or 50 years. It is quite possible to keep a plant in the same pot for 10 or 20 years. Lithops are non-toxic to humans or pets. Lithops can be grown successfully on a sunny windowsill (although a greenhouse is preferred) where they receive about 4 or 5 hours of direct sunlight during the early part of the day, and partial shade during the afternoon. Usually a southern window is the best location; an unobstructed eastern exposure is a good alternative. #lithops #coolindoorplants #sookeflowershop
