Aeonium Black Rose

Aeonium arboreum—Aeonium black roses are not actually roses, but perennial succulents with large burgundy leaves that resemble flowers. Black roses require full sun to develop the dark color, but they will tolerate partial sun. They prefer well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH of about 7 and are drought-tolerant. They bloom yellow flowers in the winter and provide a colorful display in the garden, in a container or in a sunny window. Black roses thrive in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11 and container plants can be kept outdoors year-round.

Water black roses deeply until the water drains through the bottom of the container about once a week from March through September. Allow the soil to dry until it's slightly moist at the root level between waterings. During the winter, reduce watering to once a month. Black roses planted in the ground require less watering than container plants, so feel the soil a few inches down near the roots to check for moisture. If it feels completely dry, water deeply.

Bird’s Nest Fern

Asplenium antiquum leslie—A popular group of ferns often referred to as “Bird’s Nest Ferns” are members of the genus Asplenium and Asplenium nidus has been a popular tropical plant going back to the Victorian era and remains a popular fern today.

Excessive light will slow the growth and cause frond deformities. 

Calathea White Fusion

Calathea hybrid—Light: Partial sun to shade; an eastern, western or northern exposure.

Temperature: Maintain indoor temperatures above 60°. They like it warm.

Humidity: Preferably 50% or higher; however, they will tolerate lower levels with no harm.

Watering: Keep evenly moist. Wilted plants recover slowly and leaves are often damaged.

Fertilizer: Low levels of fertilizer. Feed once a month with a diluted solution of a low balanced fertilizer like a 15-15-15 or lower. Discontinue feed during the winter.

Pruning: Old flower stems can be removed as well as old or damaged leaves.

Insects and Disease: Highly susceptible to spider mite. Keep a close eye on plants when grown under high heat or low humidity.

Comments: Calathea are excellent low-light plants that need warmth and even moisture to do well. One of the biggest problems in their culture is the browning or burning of the edges of the leaves. It is a common occurrence and affects certain varieties worse than others. The cause is either high salt levels (too high an application of fertilizer or feed when the plant is dry) or periods of extremes in watering or a combination of both. Although this

Rattlesnake Plant

Calathea lancifolia—Your Rattlesnake Plant is a great low light plant and will do best in medium to low light. This gorgeous tropical plant doesn’t like much sun on its leaves, so shield it from direct light to prevent scorching. 

Water the Rattlesnake enough to keep it moist, but not wet or saturated as yellowing may occur on the leaves. During May-August, water more frequently to keep the soil damp, but never waterlogged. In the winter, only water when the topsoil becomes dry to the touch. Extended periods of dryness can result in leaves curling and brown leaf tips or edges. Overwatering causes the plant to wilt—and wilted plants recover slowly. 

TOXICITY

Rattlesnake Plants are non-poisonous plants and safe for humans, dogs, and cats.
