Autumn has arrived. What should I do with my garden?
If you want healthy plants after the New Year, you must prepare your garrden for the winter. Plant maintenance in the winter involves dividing plants, planting bulbs, and even watering plants, if there has been no moisture or rain and the ground isn’t frozen.
Why do my indoor plants have brown tips?
Your plant may have brown tips because plant likely lacks moisture, and, thus, is stressed. During winter months, when people people need the heat cranked up to be comfortable, plants suffer from a lack of humidity in the air. Humidity is important for a plant’s health.

Can a plant survive in my windowless powder room?
All plants need natural light. Without light, plants will only live a short time. If a plant is not getting enough light, it will likely only have sparse foliage. Plants receive nutrients from the sun through photosynthesis; light is a life source for plants. Through photosynthesis, plants provide food to their leaves. You should not put plants in a windowless room as it will cause the plant to starve to death.
