Light: Poinsettias do best in bright, indirect light, but do tolerate the lower light levels through the holiday season. Direct sun can cause bleaching or burning on tender leaves.

Water: Water your Poinsettia when the surface of the soil feels dry. Do not allow the soil to completely dry out as this will cause leaf drop and early spoilage. Be careful to not let them it in excess water, as this will cause root rot.

Soil: Usually there is no need to repot poinsettias, but if you do, make sure to use a rich, well-drained potting soil such as our Indoor Tonka Terra Mix!

Hot Tips: Poinsettias don’t like to catch a cold or hot draft, so steer clear of drafty windows and heating vents!

It's important that we wrap your poinsettia in a paper sleeve for transport, as the branches are fragile & poinsettias are extremely sensitive to cold weather.

Myth busted: Poinsettias are not toxic to humans or pets unless consumed in large amounts. However, the latex sap in their stems can irritate skin, eyes, and tummies.

Lemon Cypress is available seasonally in the greenhouse, and are a great addition to your holiday home. They are beloved for their cheery lime color and slight lemon-y scent.

Lemon Cypress belongs to the Cupressaceae plant family which includes conifers such as cypress, redwood, and juniper. This plant is native to Monterey Bay on the coast of central California.

Light: Place in a bright, sunny spot in your home. Bright light indoors is required to maintain its signature lime green color.

Water: NEVER let these babies dry out! Check every few days for watering and keep evenly moist.

Soil: When it's time to repot, use a well-draining potting soil rich in organic matter. We recommend our houseblend Indoor Tonka Terra Mix.

Fertilizer: During active growth, spring through fall, fertilize every two weeks with an acidic fertilizer such as Evergreen Tone. Fertilizer with any type of blue hue will actually tint the needles of this plant so steer clear!

Hot Tips: Trim your Lemon Cypress as it grows to maintain a tidy, conical appearance.

** Lemon Cypress are generally pet safe for our furry friends.

These sweet little plants are known for their cute, butterfly wing-shaped flowers and splashy, silvery foliage. Their small flowers are arranged in racemose clusters.

Cyclamen belong to the Myrsinaceae plant family, a sub family of Primula, and are native to Europe and the Mediterranean Basin. Cyclamen grow from a round tuber, leafing out and blooming fall - winter then dying back or going dormant in the spring and summer.

Light: When in bloom, place in a bright, sunny spot. Bright, indirect light is best. When cyclamen cycle out of bloom, give them a rest in a cool & dark location. Cyclamen actually like to be cool, so a drafty windowsill is an ideal location.

Water: Cyclamen like to be kept evenly moist. Water when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch.

Soil: When it's time to repot, use a well-draining potting soil rich in organic matter. We recommend our houseblend Indoor Tonka Terra Mix. When planting, make sure the top of the tuber is visible above the soil surface.

Fertilizer: Fertilize cyclamen when they begin to grow out of dormancy. We recommend using Schultz All Purpose Liquid Plant Food at half strength.

Hot Tips: Deadhead spent blooms frequently to encourage new buds.

** Cyclamen are not pet safe and can be toxic to our furry friends.

Holiday Cactus varieties are often associated with specific fall, winter, and spring holidays because this is when you will usually see them blooming in the garden center.

Each variety of holiday cactus is easily identified by their leaf shape. The Thanksgiving cactus (Schlumgera truncata) has pointed projections on the edge of its leaves. The Christmas cactus (Schlumgera bridgesti) has leaf projections which are more scalloped or tear drop shaped. The Easter cactus (Schlumgera rhipsalisopsis) has rounded leaves.

Holiday Cactus are native to the coastal mountains of south-eastern Brazil and is a member of the Cactaceae plant family.

Light: Holiday cactus love bright light, but don’t necessarily need full sun. Dappled or indirect light is just fine.

Water: Holiday cactus are quite drought tolerant, but do like a bit of extra moisture during bud formation and bloom. This ensures that the buds and blooms do not desiccate and dehisce (dry out and fall off). When not in bloom, you can allow the soil to dry all the way down between waterings.

Soil: When it's time to repot, plant in a cactus specific soil such as Sol Soils Cactus Gritty Mix as they do prefer a chunky mix that drains well and dries through quickly.

Fertilizer: Fertilize every two weeks with a cactus specific fertilizer. When your cactus is done blooming, fertilize once a month with a diluted magnesium sulfate solution. Mix one teaspoon of Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) with one gallon of water. Stop fertilizing in late summer and don't fertilize during the winter when the plant is not actively growing.

Hot Tips: Deadhead spent blooms frequently to encourage new buds.
