Stuck inside? Tips for indoor gardening to bring green to your space while quarantined - USA TODAY

Desert-dwellers have known for millennia it's a soothing treatment for minor burns. In the coronavirus crisis, it's a main ingredient of homemade hand sanitizer.Depending on where you live, you can probably visit your local garden center (and certainly its website) because it is considered an "essential" business still open during government-ordered shutdowns. As in the case of Merrifield, most gardening centers' products are outdoors on sprawling properties, so social distancing is possible.Here are some tips for indoor or urban gardeners provided by these experts:1. Get a seed-starter kitTender plants, including tomatoes, basil and peppers, or flowers such as marigolds, moon vine and salvia, can be started indoors and planted outdoors in pots or window boxes later in the spring, says Warhurst. "You can use a seed starting mix, plant the seeds in trays or small pots, and place them in the sunniest area possible and keep them moist." Tzvi Rauch, founder of Tier II Landscape Design in Brooklyn, New York, says he likes the Burpee Seed Starter Tray he bought on Amazon (about $40), which features a greenhouse-like transparent plastic cover over trays of 72 little pockets filled with "super-growing soil pellets" to grow such veggies and greens as lettuce, cucumbers, peppers and squash. "You buy the seeds on Amazon, add water on the soil, it blows up and you put in the seeds, and then mark each section and close the lid," Rauch says. "Put it in a sunny window. Within days they start growing. It's fascinating and really easy for urban people." 2. Go for easy-to-grow plants Schultz says some indoor plants need almost no care at all.A snake plant, also known as the "Mother-in-Law's Tongue," has air-cleaning properties according to recent studies, needs little light and "it's just plain hard to kill."A kalanchoe is a beautiful succulent that doesn’t need much water to thrive, he says, and a  jade plant might be the best plant for “brown thumbs” because it’s beautiful and tough enough to thrive on neglect.3. Grow vegetable scrapsKids might like this one: Many leafy vegetables such as romaine lettuce and bok choy will regrow from the parts you don't eat. Just cut off 1-2 inches at the base, put it aside (cut side up) in a bowl or shallow saucer filled with about a ½ inch of water. Place it in a sunny spot and watch the roots start to grow, then transplant it into soil in a pot.4. Grow a vegetable gardenIf you're feeling a yen for tomatoes and you've got a sunny patio or balcony, self-watering growing containers, such as City Jungle from Bio Green, make it easy to grow two full-sized tomato plants or whatever vegetables and herbs you choose. The built-in water reservoir automatically keeps plants watered.5. Grow flowering plantsMany flowering plants are easy to grow, says Schultz. African violets thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Abutilon "Little Sunshine" plants from Logees.com is a good choice for a sunn... https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/2020/03/31/coronavirus-quarantine-tips-garden-indoors-while-stuck-inside/2928016001/

Colorful, collectible orchids on display at show this weekend - The Advocate

Friday through Sunday to answer questions about the amazing array of orchids that will be for sale.According to the pros, orchids can indeed be used as a landscape plant. John Grady Burns, a big-name floral designer based in Natchez, says phals and other readily available orchids can do fine in the garden, under the right conditions. It was just four years ago when an unwitting friend gave Kent Daniel something that would change his life forever. It wasn’t diamonds or gold … “There are many orchids that can grow outside as long as they are in filtered light. In the warm months, they can make a beautiful display because their flowers last so long,” Burns said. “But depending on the type of orchid, you need to move them inside to protect them when it gets chilly at night.”When the temperature drops and days are shorter, he added, it's best to water them very little — once a month as opposed to once a week — because they need to go dormant and rest.Larry Hennessey, the newsletter editor for the Orchid Society, says that there are some types of orchids that can be planted in the ground and are as hardy as camellias in our area.“They are Bletilla species and hybrids, and they’re hardy... https://www.theadvocate.com/new_orleans/entertainment_life/article_1729eca0-8247-11e9-bb17-673dfeef6ca1.html
