I'm searching for a house plant(prefereably small tree), that requires virtually no direct light at all. There's a section in my house(the very center) that I'd love to place a small tree of some sort, but this section does not get any direct sunlight. Actually, the only light it would get would be when the over head light in the ceiling is on. I do NOT like artificial. I prefer real/live plants. Any suggestions?

One of my favorite plants is the Chinese evergreen, or aglaonema. It puts up with low to medium light and comes in a wide variety of styles: different heights, and many different interesting leaf patterns.

There are many good dracaenas that do well in medium to low light. Warneckii is a good example that really brightens an area. I like the varigated leaves that are offered in many of our house plants as a way of adding interest to the home.

When it comes to really low light areas, the spathiphyllum, or closet plant, is the queen of the home. This one can put up with less light than any other species. It produces these little bloom structures that turn white and can be quite attractive.

In order to have success with house pants, you want to make sure and not over water them. We do tend to over water our house plants too often and it just causes root rot. In a low light environment, they just don't use as much water as they would in a bright outdoor environment.

Secondly, don't try to over fertilize. You can't replace light with extra fertilizer; that just creates additional problems. If you'l move them periodically to a brighter environment to let them gather some light, produce carbohydrates, and replinish their strength, then you can move them back in.

I bought my mom and future mother-in-law each an indoor pot as a thank you gift for our upcoming wedding in May. I need some ideas for plants or flowers I can plant in them. We'd like to give them at the rehearsal dinner.
Do you think I could plant the peace lily in the same pot as the mother-in-law's tongue?

Egyptians have first started the practice of doing floral arrangements by around 2,500 B. C. Evidences can be seen in their wall writing and wall carvings. The art of flower arrangements hasn't changed much since then. As depicted as well in their carvings and writings, these arrangements were primarily done using vases and were used for special occasions, funerals, processes, and as centerpieces for tables. Today, they pretty much serve the same purposes and have not really evolved that much.

People usually see flower arrangements in a positive manner, that is, they are always a delight to behold. Why? This is because they are effective in adding a touch of cheer and liveliness to any room - in homes, stores, shops, and other types of establishments. Generally, they are being used in the form of bouquets, centerpieces for tables, and wreaths. Most of the time, florists can have them arranged according to the occasion and according to your specifications through using the best flowers they have available. Buying floral arrangements is all worth the money you spend on them because of the positive effects that they are able to bring.

Floral arrangements done by florists are worth it as long as you have the money to spare. However, they do have the tendency to be too costly, not only because of the intricacy of how they are arranged but also, because they tend to be expensive as well when florists buy them from flower growers if they do not own their own flower farms. Peak seasons like Valentine's and Thanksgiving can make floral arrangements balloon in price. Those who badly want to have them simply cannot afford to due to lack of resources.

Artificial silk arrangements significantly changed the way people look at floral arrangements ever since they were first introduced in the market. Silk flowers are seen as a practical alternative to use for silk arrangements instead of having the real thing. Not only are they guaranteed to last even a lifetime as long as they are well taken care of, they are also very much cheaper than the real floral arrangements. They are most especially appealing if you have a need to use them daily or if you are planning to give them away because they are ideal to keep as mementos.

If you want to have your silk arrangements at a cheaper rate than they already are, you have the option to make them yourself. You just need the following to be able to have this accomplished:

1. Silk flowers and silk leaves

2. Nylon netting to firmly hold the silk arrangement together

3. Ground clay to help you in your design

4. Ground clay to help you in making them stand properly

5. Decorative accessories, like sea shells, beads, and others

6. Wire frames for shaping purposes

7. Your creativity, of course!

If you want to buy silk arrangements or, better yet, make some on your own, you are on the right track, especially if your aim is to be practical and economical without sacrificing the look and feel that real flowers can bring to any place. They are really great accessories to have without any hassle.
