I love the fact I'm actually getting paid for playing with plants and stuff every day
So here's some planting ideas I'm trying to give to the customers, also, for you
Always fill your pot to the fullest since the fall-season plants don't have much time to grow before they die because of the cold.
USE COLOURS
Much importance
And that's the end of my advices because I can't really help if you have a bad taste in plants.
Good luck!

Because my poor Anthurium went through so lot after
mite attack I decided to finally pot it in proper way.
It's been sitting in regular potting soil which is not ideal for Anthuriums since they enjoy similar kind of soil as orchids.
A little moss to keep moisture in and dryness out.
Anthuriums prefer to have acidic soil so regular potting soil wont do.
Also the roots rot very easily so they need some air around them.
squishy squishy
Similar to potting orchids, put the plant in the pot first and then add soil around it in small amounts until the plant stands properly. I used regular orchid potting mix with the addition of moss.
I covered the whole thing with moss after i got the plants to stay upright and tight.
Adding a layer of moss to the surface helps to keep the precious moisture in.
Anthuriums sure do love their moisture.
Maybe NOW the plant will start growing and stops being such a little bitch popping out one single leaf per year.

I never thought I'd buy an orchid
Correction; I never thought I'd buy a WHITE orchid
(insert death by boredom)
BUT
This orchid came with something I could not resist
So because I've always been interested in doing some experiments with orchids I decided this specimen will be a good one, getting two plants on the price of one.
My fingers are itching to cut this baby off and putting it in its own pot and growing it from the start
EXCITEMENT
Oh yea
Blah blah blah pretty flowers
MEH

Alright kiddos, let this be a lesson to ALWAYS put the plants you take in from outside on quarantine for couple of weeks before taking them in with your other plants.
My poor baby Anthurium almost got eaten whole.
These microscopic little twats just walk on the leaf and suck the juices out making the leaf greyish and ugly.
Thankfully my Anthurium doesn't have that much leaves on it so it was pretty easy for me to wash, wipe and poison them with pyretrine.
The best way to keep bugs away is wiping your plants' leaves and giving them a good wash in the sink or in the shower every now and then. Make sure to keep the humidity high and spray water on them on daily basis. Spraying water on leaves lowers the temperature of its surface for a tiny bit and that temperature change is something bugs don't like not one bit.
And now for the culprits
This is what happpens to you when you bring bugs to my home, Brugmansia.
You get stripped off of all your leaves until you start growing healthy ones.
Always be on watch for tiny bugs, they can do a whole lot of damage if they get to spread to all of your plants.
