 5 House Plants
even you couldn’t kill

There are two types of plant killers out there. The one that hovers over their plant all day watering constantly hoping that through sheer love their plant will grow. Then there’s the one who enjoys plants, but keeps forgetting to water for a week or two… or three.
No matter which one you are, we are going to find you some house plants even you can’t kill.









1.Snake Plant

Snake plants are the ultimate fire and forget plants. Set them up with nice draining soil and let them do their thing.

These NASA approved leafy plants have complex patterning that varies depending on the variety. Better still once you perfect the art of leaf-cutting you can give these away as gifts for when you’re too lazy to go buy something.


2.Aloe

Aloe is a very beautiful stemless plant. The most popular of which is Aloe Vera, however for the sake of the plant’s health don’t break off any limbs if you want to keep it healthy. As with almost all other plants on this list, aloe does best in well-draining soil, so lay down a layer of stones in the bottom of the pot. This baby can fit a lot of neglect into it, watering is really only necessary once every 3 weeks. DO NOT over water this plant! It seems as though it should be watered more often, but aloe stores water in its stems and will start to rot if there is too much!
So, if you kill this, then you have some bigger issues going on.


3.String Of Hearts

This long lacy plant resembles an ivy, with heart-shaped leaves. String of hearts are also able to produce small purple flowers. These semi-succulent plants need only sparse watering to stay alive. As with the snake plant, you can give these bad boys away as presents should you successfully propagate them.


4.Spider Plant

Spider plants are the classical beginner house plant, and one of my absolute favourites. Place in a bright room and water once a week with well-draining soil. That’s it, that’s all it takes to keep these alive.

ALSO, did you forget to water it this week? Last week? The week before?!
It’s probably perfectly fine, these guys are very hard to kill off and look absolutely stunning.


5.Fiddle Leaf Fig

These indoor trees are so “in” right now. The fiddle leaf fig is quite literally a tree that can grow perfectly in the corner of your living room. These plants can grow upwards of 6 feet when cared for properly. Make sure to give your plant lots of indirect sunlight, usually near a south-facing window.
Water sparingly, once a week is a good benchmark.
With all plants on this list, ensure you plant your plants in a good draining soil as they do not like to remain soaked.

Fun fact: fiddle leaf figs start in the foliage of other trees, where they slowly send their roots down the host tree and strangle it to death.
Seriously.

  PLANTING GARLIC IN THE FALL TO HARVEST IN THE SPRING  Champion Seeds Planting garlic in the fall? But what about the snow and cold winter? That’s no problem for the delicious bulb that is garlic, planting in Mid-October allows your garlic to grow during the fall and spring. So you have nice healthy garlic by late June. Selecting the Right Garlic When choosing garlic, you want to ensure you pick varieties that will survive your climate. For Northern USA and Canada, you’ll want to choose a Hard neck variety. Hard neck refers to the garlic's literal hard neck, these varieties do best in colder winters and withstand quite cold winters. If you live somewhere with mild winters that stay just below freezing, you can probably go with a soft neck variety. As a rule of thumb, you should always choose organic local garlic. This ensures the garlic is grown locally and can withstand your climate. Some people use Seed Garlic from online vendors, however, I feel it can b...

  When and How to prune your peppers Champion Seeds To prune or not to prune? This is a question a lot of beginner gardeners struggle with. Even I admit.... its very hard to chop off part of your pepper plant you’ve worked so hard to grow. There’s not always one definitive right answer. We’re going to take a look at when you should prune, and how you should go about pruning.   When to Prune Your Pepper Plants There are two main schools of thought: early and late-season pruning.  Early season pruning is usually considered the most important type of pruning. Often called 'topping' a pepper, is when you cut the top portion of your young seedling to stimulate bushier plant growth. Topping works best on young healthy peppers grown properly.  Late season pruning involves pruning old and damaged leaves, along with others to reduce energy use in the plant and help ripen peppers. Late Season pruning can also take place as a way to prepare your plants for overwinte...
