Florida Living and Coastal Decor
All in Plant Care
I’ve talked about this before - about 3 years ago actually - when I blogged about my new year’s resolution of always keeping fresh greenery in the house. At the time, we were living in our previous home and I had access to ample amounts of palms and flowering plants in our yard and even some that grew in the woods near our house. If you scroll down on my Instagram feed, you’ll see plenty of shots with vases full of green fronds and blooms, especially during the spring and summer months.
Every time we go on vacation or leave for a long weekend, I'm concerned about my plants that are sheltered under the patio or porch, since most of them need to be watered at least every other day. Recently, I discovered these awesome planters through Jackson & Perkins that are designed to hold water in a separate compartment so that the plant can get as much moisture as it needs.
Give me all the palm trees! To anyone not living in "palm tree land", they're sort of a novelty and highly sought after. Since I live in Florida now, they're in my yard, but I wanted them in my house for that tropical feeling year round. The only problem was that once I bought my first indoor potted palm tree, I had zero clue what to do with it. I'm certainly no gardener and I had only managed to keep my one and only potted ficus tree alive by sheer luck and its natural ability to survive extreme conditions, such as being knocked over in a hurricane, me forgetting to water it, etc. :D So I've learned through trial and error how to keep my Majesty Palms alive and I'll share with you what has worked (and not worked) for me.
