Philodendron: Plant of the Year 2024

“Philo” (Love), “Dendron” (Tree)

In their natural habitat, the aptly named philodendron loves to extend its vines around trees in the low-light understory of Central and South American tropical forests. With their evergreen qualities and low maintenance needs, upright or climbing philodendron varieties are a favorite among house plant enthusiasts. Their array of leaf colors, shapes and sizes, gently and splendidly enhance the beauty of indoor spaces. Whether you are new to houseplant gardening or a professed “plantaholic,” the peaceful philodendron can wind its way around your heart and share an indoor breath of fresh air for the start of your New Year 2024.

Visit the Green House at Hyams Garden Center for a professional quality and variety of philodendron choices.

Poinsettias

Poinsettias – Euphorbia pulcherrima: this quintessential holiday plant, hailing the arrival of the Christmas season, is known as “The most beautiful Euphorbia.” As its translated Latin name illustrates, it is one of the most exquisite in a genus containing over 2000 varieties of flowering plants. Though beautiful, one must take care to avoid contact with the latex-like, milky sap, that can irritate skin. However, its vivid variety of color combinations make it a perfect addition to any holiday display.

Care:
Poinsettias prefer to be in light, well draining soil, that is kept moderately moist. Never allow the soil to completely dry out, while at the same time, ensure the plant is not left in standing water. Poinsettias thrive in temperatures between 50 – 70 degrees Fahrenheit. While blooming, they do not need fertilizer. Poinsettias do well in bright, indirect sunlight for approximately 6 hours per day. With the proper care, they can provide many weeks of colorful splendor.

Orchid – Flower of the Year 2023

The stunning Orchid is “Flower of the Year” for 2023.

The exotic Orchid has been delighting planet earth with its variety of colors, shapes and species for millennia. It is believed to be among the oldest and largest members of flowering plant families with scientists dating its origins between 76 million to 84 million years ago and its species numbering over 26,000.

In the ancient Chinese, Greek and Roman civilizations they were valued for their medicinal and aesthetic qualities. The Aztecs prized them as a source for warriors’ strength by drinking a mixture of flavoring from the vanilla orchid and cocoa. Today, in Asia, they are frequently displayed during the New Year as symbols of happiness.

Orchids make wonderful gifts for any number of occasions. Their long-lasting blooms delight their recipients with a visual display of exotic, colorful, living art that only Mother Nature could sculpt with such perfection.

We invite you to the Tropical Green House at Hyams Garden Center to experience for yourself the visual symphony our wide variety of Orchids provides.
