Eggplant 'Orient Express'
ID: #641652
Description
Orient Express is a high-yielding, Asian-type eggplant variety that produces 8"-10" long, slender, glossy fruits. The eggplants are tender with a mild flavour and cook quickly. This variety will still set fruit when stressed and during cool weather. You can harvest eggplants anytime after they reach half of their mature size. Early harvesting prevents seedy fruits and encourages new growth on your plant. Don't pull the eggplants; cut them using sharp scissors or pruners. Eggplants grow best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy.

Jade Plant
Contact for price
Jade Plant is a popular, easy-to-grow succulent that is great for beginners and experienced houseplant owners. It features thick, succulent green leaves and, once mature, can produce small white flowers if given enough light. As it grows, it develops a thick, woody trunk and can be trained into a bonsai specimen. Jade grows best in bright, direct to indirect light, though it should be slowly acclimated to direct sunlight. Plant it in a small pot with well-draining cactus/succulent soil and water only when the soil has fully dried out; remember to reduce your watering during winter.

The Variegated Heartleaf Hoya features thick, heart-shaped green foliage with creamy-yellow margins. With good light and time, it can produce a round cluster of fragrant white-to-pink flowers with pink centers. Hoyas are vining plants and will trail over the sides of pots or can be trained to grow up a trellis or other support. Hoyas grow best in bright, indirect light with a well-draining potting mix. Hoyas with thicker leaves should be watered only once the soil has mostly dried out, while those with thinner leaves can be watered once the top few inches of soil have dried. We have found that the Heartleaf Hoyas are sensitive to overwatering and should have their soil fully dried out before being watered again.
