PLANTS for PLEASURE and AIR HEALTH
A variety of decorative plants - mostly indoors or some optional. These are grown by myself in new, well fed soils and all have established root systems. Over time I have found most plants these days are prone to insects, so it always pays to keep an eye on their condition for the best results.
Monstera Delicosa = $10 and $12
Fruit Salad Plant x 2 only. They'll get big in big pots or stay smaller if you choose.
Calathea Zebrina = $12
A vari toned Calathea. There is a huge variety of this genus and I love the deep contrast of green in this one.
Maranta Lueconeura = $10 or $12
A Prayer Plant (with red stripes), with leaves that curl at night. These like reflected light and to be kept near, not close to, windows. They like to droop over the edge of your container, so positioned suitably is always a good choice. Once well established and come Spring they will be on their way. They frequently have a wee mauve flower on the end of a stem.
Aloe Vera = $10
Multi individual plants in a pot x 1 $10. Can be split up and planted or distributed separately. They wouldn't like damp shady places much, but otherwise are pretty easy going. For scratches, burns, cuts they are brilliant. I've used glass and soldering irons a lot and minor cuts or burns are sure to be 'gone' with use of aloe vera jell (the inside of the leaves) as well as bites, grazes and such. Personally, but for no particular reason I would not apply them to open wounds.
Bromeliads = $3-4 ea and one mult-plant pot $24
Various of the more everyday type. Up to 20 at $3-4 each. Some bigger, some younger. The group of flowering ones with the pot (inner pot) are $24.00. These are easy to keep, live on little, multiply well and flower, in normal conditions. They are watered from their centre.
All are for pick up in Levin or by arrangement for nearby multiple purchase/s.
