Tips from this Episode:
- Grabbing flowers from big box stores can be more cost effective than nurseries. Especially for annuals. Do what Jess does and shop around for what you want so you never have to pay full price!
- When planting near your home make sure you keep space away from your home's foundation to avoid water damage to your home.
- Use a mixture of granules such as mosquito bits and sticky traps in your plants to get rid of fungus gnat problems.
- Lipstick Pagoda leaves will be stiff as a board when they're happy. When they need water the leaves will allow you to bend them.
- Aloes plants will be full when they're happy. When they need water the leaves will be more squishy.
