How do you care for your interior orchid corporate arrangements?


When Your Orchid Is Flowering

Feed with 20-20-20 fertilizer at a rate of 1 gram per liter every other watering.

Do not let the soil dry out; evenly-moist is the ideal state.

Since conditions vary in each household or office, check guide, lift the plant daily and see if it is top heavy. The pot should feel heavy versus the rest of the plant. Water should not be dripping from the bottom, nor should it be sitting in an enclosed container holding water. The holes in the bottom of the pot are there for exactly that reason, good drainage.

If the plant seems to lose its’ luster, you can always mist it with the same rate of fertilizer (only the plant, not the flowers). The misting can be done several times a day as long as you make sure there is no run-off and no standing water on the leaves.

When All the Flowers Have Fallen Off Your Orchid

Cut the stem 5 centimeters above the leaves. Following the procedure described, you will give the plant the opportunity to have multiple spikes as the years go by.

The feeding in this period is stronger. Use the same fertilizer at the same strength but with every watering. If you lose roots (they turn dull and lose the green tip), turn to misting daily for two weeks.

Why cut off the reproductive organs on your interior office bamboo palm?


You should always cut off the reproductive structures from your indoor office bamboos because they will grow better.

Most palms, such as bamboos, fan palms, kentia palms , majesty palms , neathe bella palms, etc. need to have their seed structures removed for a healthier appearance and for survival .

The energy that the seed or reproductive structures take from your indoor palm can inhibit or even stunt the growth of your interior tropical plant.

The nutrients and minerals of your fertilizers and even from the parent palm plant will be consumed in the building of new cells and tissues for the new seed structures, not the adult plant, thus depleting the parent palm plant of all of these life giving substances.

So please remove these stuctures as shown here in our photo.

At Plantscape Designs Inc. we always remove these seeds from all our palms for a more symetrical and even growth.

Why use Starbucks coffee grounds in your indoor office plants soil?


Many consumers are unaware of the fact that by-products from the kitchen make excellent additions to compost,” said Ginny Black, communications chairperson of the United States Composting Council. “Coffee grounds are rich in nutrients and beneficial for any backyard compost effort. The U.S. Composting council applauds Starbucks for their environmentally responsible donation and encourages consumers to take advantage of this generous opportunity.”

PDI plants is currently mixing used starbucks coffee grounds in our customers office plant soils.

By doing this coffee mixture, organic nutrients (alot of nitogen, magnesium potassium, some phosphorous , Calcium and Micronutrients) are added to the potted soils as well. Naturally normalizing the ph of the plant's soil.

At Plantscape Designs Inc. we are encouraging all interior landscapers and business office personnel to blend sparingly coffee grounds into their indoor office plant soils. Too much might chemically burn your indoor office plants.

To begin composting at home, Black recommends gardeners fill a wooden or plastic bin with a mixture of leaves and other yard trimmings and then mix in coffee grounds and kitchen scraps (no animal products). To help the pile decompose faster, it is important to make sure that the materials are moist (like a wrung-out sponge) but not soggy. Aerating the pile by mixing and turning also encourages the composting process. Compost is ready for the garden when it has fully decomposed into a dark rich soil-like material. A half-inch to an inch of compost on top of the soil feeds plants, prevents plant diseases, suppresses weeds and conserves water.

The proper amount of coffee grounds to be used depends on soil condition and what is being grown in a garden. Contact a local gardening expert to learn what is best for your region. Or call us at PDI for indoor office plant soil testing.

Why have interior landscapers water your indoor office plants?


The reason for having interior landscapers water your office plants is because most office personal do not have the time to do it.
Office plants need to be watered properly because they are so costly if they decay and die.
If your interior office plants are not watered correctly, they can become unsightly.
Root structures such as fine delicate root hairs can become soft, non functional and even decompose.
Without the correct watering procedure the roots can not function properly.
Water, nutrients and minerals will not be absorbed from the soil into the plant. Transpiration up and through the root hairs, roots stem and then finally through and out of the leaves , will not occur.
The result is wilting then death of your indoor plants.
