House Plant Journal

 House Plant Journal


Starting the journey of caring for house plants can be a tricky business. You could find yourself asking a million questions about it. A few of them probably sound something like

“Where do I start?”

“How can I keep my plant healthy?”

“What kind of plants are right for me?”

Where do I get help?

The good news is, there’s people like Darryl, the creator of House Plant Journal, to help guide you. For a little background, Darryl started his sharing his advice, plant knowledge, and tricks on Tumblr, YouTube, and Instagram. He receives many questions from people who are looking for help to take a step in the right direction regarding the care of their house plants.

The House Plant Journal is the perfect place to go if you’re stuck. Darryl offers consultations for plant help virtually, through email, and even through in-home consultations. Through these consultations, he can help assess the damages to your house plants and come to a conclusion whether there is a realistic solution to your troubles or if your house plant is beyond help.

Want to learn More?

The House Plant journal even offers courses. Through these courses you can learn more in depth about what it takes to care for house plants the right way. He stresses the importance of knowing that caring for plants is not a “one-size fits all” situation.

I found his website to be very insightful. The House Plant Journal offers people an opportunity to not just take any advice they find from the internet, but to fully understand what is happening to their plants, why it’s happening, and how to prevent or cure it. To me, that seems like a very unique service that you won’t find in many other places.

I’ve attached the link below to the House Plant Journal website and I strongly recommend you check it out. Who knows? You could find something interesting you didn’t even know you were looking for.

How to Get Rid Of Weeds

How To Get Rid of Weeds What is the number 1 enemy of gardening? Weeds. They seem to always be around. There’s a number of reasons as to why they come around and a number of ways to get rid of them. So, lets get into it. If you see weeds, this isn’t necessarily a bad sign. It means that your soil is healthy. You could rip the weed out of the soil and think problem solved. Although, that’s not entirely how it works. Weeds are only really gone if you pull them out from the roots. Otherwise, they’ll make a reappearance before you know it. You can buy weed killer from the store, which works well. But there’s a diy you may not know about: vinegar. It’s inexpensive and chances are you may already have it in the kitchen. If you’re going to get rid of weeds, it would probably do you some good to figure out why they show up in the first place. Usually, this is because: the roots still remain in the soil as I stated earlier, if the roots are not pulled up with the weeds, then they wi...

Trees, Trees, and More Trees

 Willow Trees + More I don't think I know anyone else who has a favorite kind of tree. Some people have favorite trees because it has some kind of deeper importance to them. Some may even carve their initials into it. The kind of "favorite" I'm talking about is different.  I grew up in a neighborhood that was tucked away behind other neighborhoods. On the drive home we would always pass by this massive willow tree . I love how they look. The leaves flow so beautifully in the wind.

Cherry Blossom Tree Growing up in my childhood home, we had a beautiful cherry blossom tree in the front yard. I’ll never forget what it looked like.

Few fun facts to shed a little light on the tree:         They’re a member of the rose family         They need full light and good drainage to prosper          It’s the national flower of Japan         “Sakura” is the Japanese name for cherry blossom trees         In China, these trees are symbolic for female love, passion, strength, and dominance Where did they come from?

They were first planted in Washington.  Pros and Cons If you have never been near a  c...
