Happy Plants for Winter Color
|
 FROM WILMA: Do you keep your Christmas poinsettia well into the New Year, try to save it for next year, or do as my neighbor does and toss it the day after Christmas? Last year I had a beautiful pink poinsettia that I kept over the summer and now it has a few pink tips – not gorgeous but interesting. The Thanksgiving cactus I inherited from my mother bloomed for several weeks. I have it in a sunny spot and will move it outside to a semi-shady spot next summer. It usually sets buds in late summer and I will then move it back inside. Susan also has a cutting from this same Thanksgiving cactus...heirloom plant!
Cyclamen, Kalanchoe, and Begonias provide cheery color in the winter months. Most prefer a cool, bright room. Like foliage tropicals, it is best to water them thoroughly (don’t let them stand in water) and then dry slightly between waterings. Succulents need plenty of light and less water - fun houseplants!
Stop by and browse through our well-stocked greenhouses for wintertime inspiration!

Venus Flytrap
NC License Plates
|
The North Carolina Botanical Garden and the Friends of Plant Conservation are teaming up to offer a new North Carolina Specialty license plate featuring the Venus Flytrap.
Did you know that the Venus Flytrap is only native to a 90-mile inland area around Wilmington, North Carolina? Habitat loss and poaching are making this carnivorous plant harder to find.
All proceeds from this license plate will support the NCBG AND FPC teams' efforts to conserve native plants and promote the restoration of healthy landscapes across North Carolina.
They need 500 paid applications by Feb. 15, 2020 for the license plate to be produced. More info and apply HERE.
