Cyclamen
Cyclamen are hardy, decorative flowering plants that can also serve as houseplants when grown indoors. Cyclamen thrives in bright. indirect light in U.S.D.A plant hardiness zones 3 through 11. This plant boasts brightly colored flowers in shades of reds, pink, and white.
Make sure to bottom water your cyclamen as this plant’s leaves and flowers wilt quickly when wet.
Christmas Cactus
The simple definition of Christmas cactus is a flowering plant in the genus Schlumbergera, which is distinguished by long, pointed oval leaves and clusters of showy, bell-shaped flowers. It is native to subtropical forests in Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. The common name may be derived from the fact that the plant blooms around December each year.
Christmas cacti are easy to maintain indoor plants that look attractive all year long.
Poinsettias
The poinsettia is one of the most beautiful plants that you can find during the holidays.
It is a great accent item for any table. It also contrasts well with other white flower varieties, small greenery or greens, or even little lights. The leaves are similar to an oak leaf which makes it good at blending in with other green items.
Stop by the greenhouse for poinsettias that range in color from bright red, to snow white, to papaya yellow!
Gifts for Bird Lovers
Plants and birds go hand-in-hand so it’s no wonder that many gardeners are also avid bird lovers! Birds help pollinate plants and act as an all-natural pest control solution.
Be kind to our flying friends this holiday season by putting out one of our many decorative bird seeder feeders, or gifting one to a loved one who loves bird watching in the morning!
Our pick of the week is the ‘Flaming Hot Feast’ bird seeder. This feeder keeps squirrels and other mammals away while being a great seed source for local birds.
Need more help picking out the perfect gift? Head over to the Bungalow for even more selections and friendly staff members who are well versed in all things gifting!
Norfolk Pines
Houseplant and Christmas lovers unite! The Norfolk Pine is an indoor houseplant that spreads holiday cheer year-round. Its symmetrical shape combined with excellent needle retention makes it a great Christmas tree alternative for those who are limited on space.
Add ornaments for a festive touch, or place it in a decorative pot for a new addition to your house plant collection.
Pick from a variety of sizes ranging from ‘tabletop ready’ to ‘large and in charge corner space’ ready pines.
