Designing with Bird Nest Ferns in our PDI indoor Zen Garden planting Wakefield, MA.

Bird's nest ferns are actually one of two asplenium species found in cultivation. The other, often called the spleenwort or mother fern (A. bulbiferum) is much harder to grow and looks nothing like its cousin. These ferns are naturally epiphytic, and in their rainforest homes, can be found growing high in the crooks of trees. They grow in a series of erect, spoon-shaped and apple-colored fronds that rise from a central rosette. Healthy plants can have fronds up to three feet, but this is rare in most indoor situations. These are beautiful plants, but will require a bit of babying to reach their fullest potential.

Growing Conditions:

1. Light: Filtered light to light shade. Don't expose to direct sun, other than very early morning sun.
2. Water: These are true jungle plants—keep their compost moist and provide the highest humidity possible.
3. Temperature: They will begin to suffer below about 55ºF for prolonged periods. Best kept between 70ºF and 80ºF, with high humidity. A warming pad will often help dormant plants.
4. Soil: Loose, rich organic compost.
5. Fertilizer: During growing season, fertilizer weekly or biweekly with weak liquid fertilizer. Don't put fertilizer pellets in the central cup.

6. Propagation:

These are not easy to propagate and cannot be divided, as with some other fern species. They are usually raised from spore or tissue culture, meaning propagation is usually beyond the reach of most home growers.

7. Repotting:

Bird's nest ferns prefer to be slightly underpotted. As naturally epiphytic plants, they are used to growing in a minimum of organic material, and mature plants will elongate above the soil level as the fern grows and sheds lower leaves. The problem, of course, is that large ferns will easily tip over their smaller pots. When repotting every other year, use the next pot size up and refresh the compost.

8. Grower's Tips:

Bird's nest ferns are beautiful, and many conservatories and greenhouses boast impressively large specimens. They are a natural with orchids, bromeliads and other rainforest plants. The key to a healthy bird's nest fern is providing enough warmth and moisture. Given these two conditions, the ferns can withstand higher light levels. A shower ledge by a window is a good place for a healthy bird's nest fern.

What are tiny tillandsias? Why use them in your indoor corporate offices Waltham, MA

1. Tillandsias are: epiphytes and need no soil because water and nutrients are absorbed through the leaves. 

2.The roots are used as anchors only. Reproduction is by seeds or by offsets called "pups". A single plant could have up to a dozen pups.

3. Indoor arrangement of six Tillandsiaplants mounted on a log section.

4. Although not normally cultivated for their flowers, some Tillandsia will bloom on a regular basis. In addition, it is quite common for some species to take on a different leaf colour (usually changing from green to red) when about to flower. This is an indication that the plant is monocarpic (flowers once before dying) but offsets around the flowering plant will continue to thrive.

5. Temperature is not critical, the range being from 32°C down to 10°C. They are sensitive to frost, except for the hardiest species, T. usneoides, which can tolerate night-time frosts down to about -10°C.

6. Tillandsia is a primary ingredient in an herbal supplement to treat pollen allergies.

7. The plant genus Tillandsia, a member of the Bromeliad family (Bromeliaceae), is found in thedeserts, forests and mountains of Central and South America, and Mexico and the southernUnited States in North America.

8. The thinner-leafed varieties grow in rainy areas and the thick-leafed varieties in areas more subject to drought. Moisture and nutrients are gathered from the air (dust, decaying leaves and insect matter) through structures on the leaves called trichomes.

9. Tillandsia species are epiphytes (also called aerophytes or air plants) – ie they normally grow without soil while attached to other plants). Epiphytes are not parasitic, depending on the host only for support.

10.The genus Tillandsia was named by Carolus Linnaeus after the Swedish physician and botanist Dr. Elias Tillandz (originally Tillander) (1640-1693).

Plantscape Designs Inc. currently uses these tiny bromeliads to enhance the monthly orchid gardens that we create and deliver for our hundreds of corporate interiorscape clients in Waltham, MA

Pruning back interior corporate lobby Phyllostachys Aurea bamboos Waltham,MA

1. This bamboo can be difficult to identify as it has varied growth characteristics depending on location. 

2. In full shade the culms are apt to remain green. 

3. In partial or full sun the culms slowly turn yellow over the first year or two, then deeper gold and orange as they mature. The best way to identify this species is the compressed internodes that occur on random culms, usually (but not always) at the base. 

4. These compressed internode growths are called 'tortoise shell'.The leaves tend to grow all the way to the ground on this species, and the type form leaves are green and lack any stripes or streaks. They can grow short, dense and shrubby in poor conditions, or tall and upright. In ideal conditions they can grow to 30 feet tall and 3 inches in diameter. 

5. They can be rampant runners and grow aggressively if left unchecked in gardens. Golden bamboo is listed as an invasive plant species in several states.

6. PDI prunes back the leaves as well as the underground runners of these rapidly growing bamboos.

PDI, Plantscape Designs Inc uses mini phaleonopsis orchids in your interior office reception Boston, MA

Cute as can be mini orchids have captivated orchid fanciers with their tiny blossoms and slender stems. A fraction of the size of their full-grown cousins, mini Phals make a charming addition to any Phalaenopsis orchid collection. 

Difference between Minis and Full Phalaenopsis 

Because they require the same growing conditions as full-size plants, mini Phalaenopsis orchids can be successfully grouped and displayed with full-size orchids. They even make a nice addition to the same pot of a larger orchid if there is room. 

New mini orchid owners will notice that the biggest difference between mini and full-size Phalaenopsis orchids is one of quantity. Because minis are usually sold in smaller pots, sometimes two inches in diameter, they require considerably less of everything: less growing media, less fertilizer and less water. A mini requires only a single ice cube weekly. 

Mini’s Moss 

When buying mini Phalaenopsis, look for healthy root growth. Most growers will sell minis in pots planted with sphagnum moss. Not only does this make an attractive presentation, but the moss retains just the right amount of water for these tiny plants as they travel to your interior office. Pine bark mulch is just simply too large and bulky for these small and delicate orchids.

How to design with and care for your ponytail palm in your Burlington, MA interior office.

1. Ponytail’s are native to the dry Mexican climate, this habitat allows it to survive interior winter heat very well in your Burlington, MA interior office workplace.

2. However, the ponytail plant does not like too frequent waterings.

3. Never allow water to sit in the bottom of the saucer or pot. An interesting fact is that Nolina recurvata stores its water in its base.

4. A sandy-mix soil generally minimize the probability of root rot, especially compared to the peaty mixes normally used in most tropicals.

Specifically, allow the soil to dry out well between waterings, and if you have any doubt on whether or not to water the plant, skip it until the next week.

5. Dry, brown foliage, a shriveled stem or desiccated roots are usually signs of underwatering in your dry interior offices.

6. If you are overwatering, we normally see light new growth, stem rot or root rot will appear.

7. Light requirements for ponytails are pretty easy to remember if you think of where it is native to – the Mexico desert landscape. PDI places these high light green indoor plants on south and west exposure office  windows.

Provide bright indirect light to full sun.

Any window space indoors particularly one facing north will suit the light requirements of this high-light plant. For optimum performance, however, full sun is best.

Pony Tail Palms - Insect Free

Generally, the ponytail is insect free, but on occasion does attract mealybugs, spider mites and scale.

Nolina recurvata – the “Ponytail Palm” is a plant to enjoy, it is not a real palm!

You just provide plenty of light and water it less frequently than you think necessary, and this plant will add a unique beauty wherever your use it.

Intergeneric orchids: They are used in PDIPLANTS interior office plant Waltham, MA client locations.

1. Odontoglossum and Oncidium intergeneric hybrids are comprised of a large group of orchids from many different genera. The Odontoglossum/Oncidium alliance is very popular among orchid growers due to its cultural flexibility and striking sprays of long lasting flowers. The plants may be grown with relative ease in your Waltham, MA. interior office environment.

2. Lighting within your interior office environment
The Odontoglossum and Oncidium alliance thrives on bright light. In the office, an east or a lightly shaded south-facing window is ideal.  Direct morning and late afternoon sun can be tolerated by the plants, provided exposure occurs gradually. The plants need to adapt slowly to the increases in lighting. The leaves should be bright green as opposed to dark green or reddish green. Reddish green indicates too much light; dark green indicates not enough light.

3. Temperature
In temperate office climates, Odontoglossums and Oncidiums may be grown in your inside office enviroments.

Most Oncidiums and their hybrids; Plantscape Designs Inc uses are intermediate in temperature preference. For the best results provide nighttime temperatures of 50 to 60°F and daytime temperatures under 85°F.

Odontoglossums tend to prefer cool temperatures. For the best results provide nighttime temperatures 50-55°F and daytime temperature 60-80°F. Place the plants near a cool window in your interior office.

Odontoglossums and Oncidiums will tolerate higher daytime temperatures if the humidity is increased.

4. Watering
Depending upon the temperature, Odontoglossums and Oncidiums should be watered about two or three times a week. During the summer, the plants may need to be watered every 2-3 days. The rule of thumb for watering should be as followed: More heat more water, less heat less water.

Odontoglossums and Oncidiums prefer to be kept on the moist side. This does not mean that the plants like to be left in standing water, however try to water the plants early in the day, so that the foliage will be dry by nightfall. To prevent bacterial and fungal disease use harmless Physan 20 used once a month.

5. Humidity in your interior office workplace
Odontoglossums and Oncidiums prefer 50-65% humidity. Humidity should be increased with higher temperatures. Humidity Trays may be needed for plants grown in the office.

6. Fertilizer
Odontoglossums and Oncidiums must be fertilized on a regular basis! For best results, use Norman's Optimal Orchid Nutrients every other week. It is recommended to pre-water plants, before applying the diluted nutrient solution if the potting media is dry.


7. Pests on your indoor office plants Waltham, MA
Common pests associated with Odontoglossums and Oncidiums are scale, spider mites and aphids. X-CLUDE, an encapsulated pyrethrum time-release insecticide is the most efficient method of pest control outdoors. However, at PDIPlants we never apply insecticides to your Waltham, MA. indoor office plants. Plantscape Designs Inc. uses non-toxic biological weapons like insect predators and beneficial parasites to rid your interior green plants and flowers of harmful 
insects.
