Feeling kind of lazy...? We are as well. We just planted some Rosemary in the new self watering rectangular window planters. They rock. And now we can chill out with the watering for a bit because the planter will do it just as well, bet you would like that eh? These are in Red, White, and Charcoal.

Some Ideas for Tillandsia (air plant) Display

Some white gravel

Some questonalble looking Spagnum Moss

Nice 9" diameter glass LSA globe (we have them in three sizes)

ixiodes tillandsia. Stiff little fella, these usually arrive with the bud about to pop out. they require some bright light, and a complete submerging in water about once a week.

Brachycaulos Miniata Tillandsia. A softer specimen that also needs some bright light, and a weekly dip in some water.

Nice centerpiece?

A Post Holiday Season Tradition

January 2008 Poinsettia film.

No actual poinsettia's were harmed during the filming..... ok, they were actually harmed.

A post holiday season tradition

This useally happens here at Sprout Home Chicago when were wondering why we still have poinsettia in January. (2009)

Check out the creepy shadow..... of the beautiful Sweedish Ivy. It's way to cold, but at least the sun is with us today.

Look at these leaves.... Calathea Ornata! It's like miss mother nature painted stripes on these leaves.

This plant loves medium light, and it also likes to stay moist. We have them here in 6" pots.
