🌿 Plant of the Week: Candlestick Plant (Senecio stapeliiformis) 🌿

Meet one of the most architectural houseplants around! The candlestick plant, also known as the pickle plant or Stapelia-like senecio, grows upright, jointed stems covered in soft, angular teeth, like little green candles reaching for the light. And if you’re lucky, it rewards you with bright red-orange flowers that look like tiny fireworks against all that green.

Quick care tips:

☀️ Light: Bright light, and a sunny window is perfect
💧 Water: Let the soil dry out completely between waterings, then give it a good drink. Go easy in winter!
🪴 Soil: Fast-draining cactus or succulent mix in a pot with drainage holes
🌡️ Temperature: Happy at normal indoor temps. Keep away from frost.
✂️ Bonus: Easy to propagate from stem cuttings. Let the cut end callus over for a few days before planting, and you’ll have plenty to share with friends!

⚠️ Heads up: like many Senecio species, this plant can be toxic to pets if eaten, so keep it out of reach of curious nibblers.

Have a houseplant you’d love to see featured? Send it our way, and it could be our next Plant of the Week!

🎃🌻 Junior Garden Club was a hoot today! 🌻🎃

Our little gardeners gathered at the library this afternoon, and Mrs. Katie kicked things off by reading a story. The kids were all ears (and magnifying glasses!).

Then it was time to get crafty! Our juniors made adorable scarecrow jars, using buttons for eyes, burlap for a hat, and a felt nose. Each jar was filled to the brim with candy corn, or animal crackers for our dye-free friends. 🧡

After all the scooping, sticking, and gluing we headed outside to water our raised beds and flowers and give them a good drink. 💧🌸

A big thank you to Mrs. Katie and the Ellisville Library, our Ellisville Garden Club volunteers, and all the families who came out to grow with us. We love watching these little ones fall in love with gardening!

Know a young gardener who’d love to join us? Stay tuned for our next Junior Garden Club meeting. 🌿

🌿 Growing together at the Jones College greenhouse! 🌿

This month, the Ellisville Garden Club traveled to the Jones College Ellisville campus greenhouse, where we were welcomed by Tate Warren. He shared a bit about his background and the work that goes on behind the greenhouse doors. Then it was time to roll up our sleeves!

🪴 We had so much fun planting adagio grass and two varieties of spider plants together! Everyone got to take home their own pot of adagio grass, plus spider plant cuttings to start at home. Now we all have a little piece of the greenhouse to enjoy.

We also toured the greenhouse and got a peek at some beauties, including:
🌱 Monstera
🌱 Pothos
🌱 Plumeria
🌱 Poinsettias, already getting ready for the holiday season! 🎄

A big thank you to Tate Warren and Jones College for opening up the greenhouse and sharing your knowledge with us. We left with full hands, full hearts, and a few new green friends.

If you need instant impact, then choose a plant in full flower. To extend the display period, select plants that have tight flower buds with just a little bit of color showing. Over time, the buds will open up, making the flowers last longer.

Always keep your fall mums in full sun. This promotes the very best flower opening and color development.

Keep your mums consistently watered. This is a greater challenge when growing your mums in containers. If the soil is dry, it’s time to water your mums. Do not let them wilt. Once a flowering fall mum is water-stressed, it turns off flowering. This doesn’t necessarily kill the plant, but the flowering will not recover.

Don’t water the foliage, but direct water to the base of the plant and continue until water starts to flow from the bottom of the container. Wet leaves make it easy for fungal growth to set in, making plants look bad.

🌿 Plant of the Week: Spider Plant 🌿

Pull up a chair, plant friends! This week we’re spotlighting a houseplant that’s as easygoing as a Sunday afternoon: the spider plant. It’s low-fuss, high-charm, and it keeps giving, with little baby plants that are perfect for sharing with friends 💚

Why we love it:

🕷️ Long, arching leaves and dangling baby “spiderettes” that make it look like it’s throwing a party
🐾 Non-toxic to cats and dogs
🌱 Super easy to share: snip a baby, pop it in water or soil, and you’ve got a new plant!

Care basics:
☀️ Bright, indirect light (it tolerates lower light too)
💧 Water when the top inch of soil feels dry
🚰 Brown tips? Try filtered or rainwater, since spider plants can be sensitive to minerals in tap water

Bonus tip: Spider plants like being a little snug in their pot, so don’t rush to repot!

💬 Do you have a spider plant at home? Tell us in the comments how many babies yours has! 👇

🪴 Plant of the Week: Pothos 🪴

If you’ve ever said you “can’t keep a plant alive,” meet your new best friend! Pothos is one of the most forgiving houseplants around, and it looks lovely trailing from a shelf or hanging basket.

☀️ Light: Low to bright indirect light
💧 Water: When the top inch of soil feels dry
🐾 Pet-friendly? No, so keep it out of reach of curious pets!

💡 Care tip: Yellow leaves usually mean too much water, not too little. If in doubt, wait another day or two before watering. And don’t toss any trimmings! Put a cutting in a glass of water, and in a couple of weeks you’ll have roots and a new plant to share with a friend.

Do you have a pothos at home? Tell us in the comments how long your vine has gotten! 👇
