Plant Parenthood


 

Have you ever been to a store with a plant nursey? If you didn’t know, it’s a little hut resembling a green house. They’re used to grow plants in a specific condition until they’re big and healthy enough to be out in the open.

What is it?

Back in my hometown mall, there’s a place like this called Plant Parenthood. Along with their creative name, they also created an environment for people like me who love plants. Inside, they offer a wide variety of plants. Each one different from the other.

What do they do?

I was impressed to learn that they even offer potting services. When you purchase your plant at the checkout, they give you all the information you need to care for your new friend when you get home. Plant Parenthood will discuss what kind of sun exposure your plant will need, when to water it, and when to re-pot your plant. They do it free of charge too! You can either bring in a pot of your choosing or pick one off of the shelf.

Along with those services, they offer deliveries, consultations, second chance plants where they help revive your plant if it’s not looking so good, potting stations where you can create a new mix of soil for your plant, they offer little statues to accompany your plant in the soil, and they have stands at farmers markets. They even have a wish list where you can name the plant you’re looking for and they’ll network to help you find it.

I really enjoy my experience every time I come in. the people are very helpful and make sure you find the plant that’s right for you. Of course, it would be easier to go to the garden section of your local Walmart or Home depots, but they won't provide you services like this one. Plant Parenthood has managed to invent such a unique brand and the offers they have will match no other. Along with the services, your common garden center doesn't grow their own plants in-store, unlike this company. I think the plant nursery is a nice touch, it really shows that this place of business knows what they're doing and are qualified to help with all of your plant needs. 

They’re located in Joliet, IL but you can find the link to their store here if you want to check them out:

Cherry Blossom Trees: Are they worth it?

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. No taller than 6 feet, light pink flowers, a hint of yellow in the center. They're an interesting plant to add to your collection. 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? The history of this tree is an interesting one. In 1912, Japan gifted 3,000 cherry blossom trees to the U.S. as a gift of friendship. They were first planted in Washington.  Pros and Cons If you have never been near a  c...

How to Care for a String of Pearls Plant

 String of Pearls Plant If you're anything like me and have a difficult time caring for most plants, or don't have the time and/or resources, I would recommend taking on the String of Pearls plant. This one is not very hard to take care of and can grow quite a bit in a short period of time. Lets get into some of the tips for having your very own! Plant Description Plant type: succulent Size: 1-2 feet tall, 1-2 feet long Sun exposure: full, partial Origin: Africa Bloom season: Summer Soil: sandy, well-drained Plant Care One of the best ways to help this plant grow is by starting off with a few strands in a hanging basket . I love the way this one looks, it drapes down beautifully in different lengths all around the pot of your choosing, or you can redirect the strands to one side of the pot to hang from a shelf or a ledge.  Another important thing to know is that this particular plant needs constant light all year round . String of pearl plants need to be switched off between d...

Hydrangeas vs Lilacs

Hydrangeas  and  Lilacs , two of my favorite flowers. They are so similar yet so different. Both equally beautiful but require different care in some ways.    A few  similarities  between the two plants: -         Both plants are perennial This just means that lilacs and hydrangeas die off at the end of the season and bloom again in the early spring.  -        Classified as flowering shrubs Hydrangeas and Lilacs both have very distinct looking flowers. Their greenery do resemble shrubs although it's hard to ignore that pop of color from the vibrant flowers.  -        Drought tolerant Hydrangeas and lilacs are both able to withstand drought weather. -        Acidic soil requirement Both plants require acidic soil to keep them healthy, lilacs can handle acidic to neutral. Even though these two p...
