ZZ Plant Care Interior Plants Pictures Care

The ZZ Plant has become quite popular to use as an interior plant. It is showing up in the interior landscape as well as being used as an interior house plant. ZZ Plant is the nickname for Zamioculcas zamifolia.

How to Care for Zamioculcas Zamifolia Interior Plant

The ZZ Plant grows well under medium to bright, indirect lighting. It also does well under the artificial light you may find in your office or cubicle at work.

For the best results, grow your ZZ Plant under the brightest light you have available. That does not mean you should set it outside in full sun. Bright light in a shaded spot should do the trick. Read more about how to care for your interior ZZ Plant.

Indoor Plants – Dracaena Lisa Cane

Indoor Plants Care Dracaena Lisa Cane This is a photograph I took while at work during the holidays. This is a Dracaena Lisa Cane. I have been caring for this plant, along with many others, for the past few years. It has recently been moved from a single story office building to a high rise in uptown Charlotte. Quite a pretty plant, it is in medium to bright, indirect lighting with additional artificial light. I keep it pruned to about 6 feet tall and it is in a 14 inch diameter grow pot with a silver Lechuza decorative container.

Flowering White Bird of Paradise - Strelitzia

White Bird Of Paradise

Added new photographs today, including the interesting and always white, White Bird of Paradise. These Strelitzia are used in interior landscapes and I have only seen them with a bloom in exterior gardens or greenhouse environments. They may bloom indoors but I have never seen this happen and I have cared for many of these plants. Strelitzia nicolai is the name. Added a few other pictures too. Check them out on the plant pictures page Thanks

Pothos Plant Care – About Houseplants

Pothos Marble Queen, Epipremnum aureum

Pothos Marble Queen Plant


Pothos Plant Care – (Scindapsus or Epipremnum aureus)
The Pothos must be the most popular houseplant. Just about anyone that has ever had a houseplant has had a Pothos. The three common varieties are the Golden Pothos (yellow and green), Jade Pothos (all green) and the Marble Queen Pothos (white and green). My favorite is the Marble Queen Pothos.
Taking care of interior landscape accounts, I have found that the personal plant people most often have in their cubicles and offices is the Pothos plant.

Bird of Paradise Flower

Flower on Bird of Paradise-Strelitzia reginae

Some new plant pictures posted today. This is one of them a flower on Strelitzia reginae, quite pretty and not the Bird of Paradise generally used as an indoor plant. The Strelitzia Nicolai, or White Bird of Paradise is the type used for interiors. Easy to grow but can not remember any White Birds that ever bloomed indoors. I have seen them with blooms in botanical gardens and will post picture of the White Bird in bloom soon. Other plant pictures can be seen on the Plant Pictures page, of course….
Have a great weekend everyone!

Help With Your Houseplants

Orchid Flower Purple

My Pretty Purple Orchid

I have just been visiting at a website called GardenWeb.com. Reviewing some of the posts on indoor plant care, I noticed that the plants people posted pictures of in the Garden Web Forum looked as though they needed lots and lots of help. Often the post authors did not know what kind of houseplant they had and needed an indentification.
I guess I may be kind of picky when it comes to the way an indoor plant looks because in the interior landscape business, your plants (or should I say the customer’s plants) always have to look good. And, as with people, a plants appearance says everything about its health and care.
I wanted to sign in on the Garden Web Forum and give some help and advice but the “Terms of Service” for the site was so long that I got scared and left the website without signing in. Read more and get help with your indoor tropical plants questions
