Recent wildfire tragedies

According to the National Interagency Fire Center, 1.83 million acres in California alone were burned by wild forest fires throughout 2018. (1) The devastation was severe and reminded the world of nature's impact. The effects of the latest fire were so far-reaching that in November 2018 that the reports of what appeared to be a fog in New York City actually turned out to be California’s forest fire smoke which had blown in into New York City. Unfortunately forest fires are not an uncommon occurrence throughout the US. Throughout 2018 there were a total of 8.48 million acres decimated by wild forest fires within the US.

We don’t like that. We all need our trees.

So in a response to the recent catastrophe in California as well as the other numerous forest fire sites, we want to give back to one of our most precious natural resources – our forests For every single Aspect we sell we will be planting 1 tree. There's no better time than the season of giving to make sure that we give back to not only our country's wildlife but to our children's wildlife.

We need our forests

These forest lands are the foundation of America’s outdoor recreation heritage and sustain our way of life. They provide water to millions Americans in thousands of communities, clean our air, store carbon, and provide timber, minerals, oil and gas and other resources for industry and communities. (3) Without these lands, America would be a very different place. Our trees are our heritage, and it’s time we all do our part to plant more. So when you buy an Aspect this December remember you'll not only be supporting your own plants, but also our wildlife's future. 1 Aspect = 1 tree. Time to get growing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbde11fyRvs

A Pink Princess Philodendron isn't the plant you want to experiment on with a pair of dull scissors and no plan. Between the price tag and the fact that its pink coloring can be a little unpredictable, it's fair to feel more cautious cutting into this one than you would a pothos. The good news is that propagating a Pink Princess is genuinely simple once you understand the one thing that trips most people up: the pink pattern on your cutting isn't guaranteed to look exactly like the parent plant.

If your plant hasn't put out a new leaf in a while, or the leaves it is growing are small, pale, and spaced far apart on a stretched-out stem, it can feel like it's just stalled for no reason. It's not. Slow or leggy growth is almost always your plant telling you something specific, and once you know what to look for, the fix is usually simple.

If your Monstera's new leaves keep coming in solid, round, and nothing like the dramatic split leaves you've seen on other people's plants, you're probably wondering what you're doing wrong. Likely nothing. Leaf splitting, technically called fenestration, depends on a handful of specific conditions coming together, and when even one of them isn't quite right yet, your Monstera will keep producing solid leaves until it is.
