Houseplants in Autumn

Fall is a beautiful season: the leaves start to change, the days start to cool, and we all start getting our sweaters out of storage. The sun is also setting earlier and rising later, which means shorter days and less hours of sunlight. Such seasonal changes can affect the health and wellbeing of our beloved indoor houseplants; as the days shorten, our foliage friends will slow their growth and decrease their water requirements. It’s up to us, their human caregivers, to adjust the frequency of our watering schedules according to their needs. Some varieties may even benefit from a good fall trim to help with their adjustment.

They ask for so little and yet offer us so much through their amazing array of shapes, sizes, colours, and even style of spines (those prickly things that make a cactus, well, a cactus). There are thousands of species and varieties in existence, and while we here at Belgian would love to have one of each to call our very own, even our 5,400 sq. ft. Cactus & Succulent House isn’t big enough to hold all of them! Even so, we are able to showcase many, many varieties in our selection of individual pots and dish gardens, as well as in our display gardens.

Clean Air Plants

It’s no secret that there are lots of benefits to having plants in your home. Not only do they look great, but many houseplants can make your home a healthier place to live! In 1989, a NASA study found that common indoor plants naturally purify the air in your home by removing harmful toxins such as formaldehyde (which are found in carpets, upholstery, glues, paint and more), benzene (plastics, synthetic fibers, rubber), and trichloroethylene (in paint removers, rug cleaning solution, adhesives, etc.).
