We’ve all been there. The beautiful terrarium gift from a friend resides on the mantle, the piano, a table, a shelf, or somewhere around the house but mostly because terrarium plant care is lost on us. Luckily for those of us with a less than green thumb, terrariums are very easy to care for. Terrariums thrive best with slight neglect, normal amounts of light, and almost no watering and fertilization. The easy care of terrariums make them wonderful gifts for houseplant beginners as well as experienced planters.

Plant care for terrariums is pretty simple. Read the rest of Want Easy Plant Care? Get Excited About Terrariums! »

Ask the Expert: Why aren’t my Casablanca lilies blooming?

I have Casablanca lilies in my garden, they are about four feet high and are staked
in full sunlight all day. Last year it seems that they were in bloom by now. About a month ago they did develop the buds and looked like they were going to start growing but they never got more than and inch or inch and a half big. Now they look like they are drooping. This is their second year. Any ideas??? Brenda

Ask the Expert: my dying English Ivy

I have an English ivy that I purchased in a small container and a few days later replanted. It immediately began losing leaves, after they turned brown of course, and now I have a few sticks and a few leaves.
It is in filtered sun light.
Should I pray for it and see what happens?  Audrey
