I"m gonna Kill That Mushroom!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That damn cute mushroom--

Recycled Cigar Box Bird Houses are in full effect, and back in stock...

We really love these, made by Neatherland Art locally here in Chicago. We could ship one out to you if your interested, otherwise come on in and grab one, call first if your making a special trip, as these are in limited supply. Each Bird House is one of a kind, and have been treated to withstand the elements. The wood has been treated with a Poly Soy protective finish, which is a high performance topical coating system that seals and protects against stains, mildew and UV rays. You know you got some stylish birds that have been circling your home waiting for you to step up....

Curly Birds Nest Fern.... ON ROCK!

We have carried the plant on rock for a bit, and we love them. While talking to our friends in Hawaii, (where we get these from) they let us know that they were starting a new "line" of plant on rock. And well... here it is. The Curly Birds Nest Fern. This is great news for people who have always wanted to get a plant on rock, but didn't have the light required to keep the Anthurium and Scheffaleras alive. This plant like bright filtered light, and can even tolerate a little less than that. And in case your thinking about the Brady Bunch episode that featured some bad ju ju from taking an lava rock idol from the islands of Hawaii, well... it is true that your not suppose to take lava from the island, unless it has the blessings of a Kahuna. Check this out, The quarry that the rock is taken from is blessed by a Kahuna. The company that exports these is a strait up Hawaiian company. They told us that, so we would pass it on. So there ya go. No bad luck with these. We have a few dishes that these can set in, but any shallow bowl or dish will do. You need to keep these resting in water. It is pretty easy to see when they need water, when the water level is down... you simply fill it up. You can add a little liquid plant food a few times during the summer months to keep the plant happy and healthy. This plant on rock deal has been a number one house warming gift for years here at Sprout Home, maybe you should have a nice gift for yourself.

Bonsai..... Tray Growing.....

Bonsai is actually two words, "Bon", and "Sai". The word "Bon" means "tray" and "Sai", "growing" or "planting". Therefore, the two words put together give you the translation of "tray growing" or "tray planting"..... Yeah, so get your self some Tray Growing, I mean Bonsai, here at Sprout Home.

Pictured is a Juniper. We have them is ficus and bouganvilla trees as well. Rest the mind with caring for your new buddy, pruning, the right light, and watering, thats about all you need to rock a Bonsai Tree.

Wally 3 in full effect!

We finally hung of a large Wally 3 wall planter. Wool and recycled Plastic, can't beat that with a bat. Step one of a modular living wall. Inspiration, or come and get this exact planter..... We love it.

In Loving Memory of the Sprout Home Truck.

We miss you already buddy. The way you rocked this town will never be forgotten..... Trees, Shrubs, Dirt and Rock..... So Much Dirt and Rock. The funkiest Box Truck ever. We not only hope you make it to Atlanta, but we hope your show the Dirty South how we get down in Chi-Town.

fuzzy, shady, small folk.

This community of small tiny people have been seen around here for years, we have just recently caught them walking around inside of our terrariums and on the sandy succulent plant ups... crazy days indeed.
