Haemanthus humilis ssp. hirsutus
ID: #694723
Description
* Note that these Haemanthus will ship with foliage but leaves will begin to die back in the next few weeks/months. Their dormancy period is approaching.* Haemanthus humilis is an interesting plant to add to your collection. Especially if you're into uncommon bulbs. They produce large tongue-like leaves that are hairy on the undersides. They usually keep just two of their fuzzy-flat leaves. This Haemanthus has beautiful pink-white blooms, they typically bloom around late Summer to early Fall. This plant will go through a slight dormancy period, and don't need to be watered as frequently. Their dormancy period is from spring to summer. Do not panic when the foliage starts to die back in spring, just as everything else starts to grow out. Leaves can be expected to fully die off before returning to just a bulb in a pot during the start of summer. Once you see new growth emerging, you can resume heavier waterings. CARE They prefer strong direct sun and would thrive in your brightest window. You can water this plant once every 10-12 days during its active growing season. They do appreciate a drying out slightly in between waterings, but not for too long. If the bulb ever is wrinkled during the growing season, it means its going too dry between waterings! Plant them in a very coarse mix, like a cactus mix! All of our plants are ethically sourced from certified U.S. nurseries. We strongly condemn the poaching of plants or wild collection.

Kiwi Bark
$4.00
Kiwi bark's chunky texture makes for an excellent soil amendment! Kiwi bark has a slower decomposition rate and is less likely to rot compared to other wood. Because of this, large pieces such as these can help increase drainage and make soil not compact as much over time. It can also be used as a potting medium on it's own for some epiphytic species such as most orchids! 2 quart bag can roughly fill one and a half 6" diameter nursery pots. 1 quart bag can roughly fill one and a half 4" diameter nursery pots.

Perlite is the most commonly used additive for increasing soil drainage. It is volcanic glass that forms when glass literally pops like popcorn under super-heated temperatures.

Philodendron hederaceum
$12.00
Philodendron hederaceum is known for its versatility and durability in a variety of different spaces. With the proper care, it can be a fast growing during the spring and summer making it perfect for hanging baskets! The baskets are especially cute due to the heart shaped foliage. Care: We recommend weekly waterings typically as the soil is 1"-2" dry for this size. This will also do best in a bright filtered light. Although this is sold often as a low light plant, our definition of low light is what the plant needs to survive. A source of natural light somewhere in the room will keep this plant sustained and thriving. Usually we say if you can read a book in the room without the light on during the day it's usually enough light for this one. All of our plants are ethically sourced from certified U.S. nurseries. We strongly condemn the poaching of plants or wild collection.
