This Aglaonema Jasper Jones needs no filter. It’s gorgeous green leaves surrounded by pink are accented with a light pink stem. It’s the kind of plant that has you in awe of nature’s ability to create such stunning colors. With aglaonemas, as a rule, the darker green leaved-plants require less light, while the lighter green varieties need more. This plant does well in medium light and is forgiving about inconsistent watering. Let the soil dry out or keep moist but never allow the plant to sit in water or be soggy. These plants can do well in low humidity, which makes it an ideal plant for these dry Midwestern winter months. Do you own any aglaonemas? #aglaonema #aglaonemajasperjones #covingtonky #pinkplants #plantcare

Delicate Beauty: The Maidenhair Fern Water This little lady likes its soil to remain moist and should not be allowed to dry out. Ensure you have a well draining soil so that the soil is never soggy. Light In nature, this fern grows in shade meaning that your fern should never be put in direct light. Placing it nearby a Northern window with a few hours of filtered light should keep this guy happy inside. Temperature & Humidity 70° is the ideal temperature for this plant and it LOVES humidity. Mist your maidenhair fern often, place it near a humidifier, or utilize a pebble tray in your home. Do you have a Maidenhair Fern? #maidenhairfern #thirstythursday #covingtonky #plantcare 
🐝 Reasons to buy Beeswax Candles: 1. Beeswax candles have the highest melting point among all known waxes resulting in a burn time that is 2-5 times longer than other candles and drip very little, if at all. 2. They are environmentally safe and non-toxic—the cleanest burning candle. Scented candles often contain paraffin wax, derived from petroleum, coal or shale oil. When it's burnt, paraffin wax releases toxic compounds into the air, including acetone, benzene, and toluene – all known carcinogens. So not only are they damaging the environment but our health, too 3. Beeswax is the only candle that emits negative ions to purify, cleanse, improve air quality, and invigorate the body. A natural ionizer! 4. Beeswax is hypoallergenic. 5. They smell amazing! Come in this week and grab some @thankfulsagefarmschool beeswax candles. We know you will 🐝 glad you did! 
Can you see why this is called a goldfish plant? It’s bright orange blooms resemble pot bellied goldfish and are the perfect pop of spring to contrast all this snow! Water In the winter, water when the top half inch of soil is dry. In the summer, water when the top1/2 inch is dry. Light Goldfish plants want bright, indirect light or a half day of Eastern sun. They also do well under artificial light. Temperature & Humidity Goldfish plants are comfortable at 60°-80° F and enjoy high humidity. #goldfishplant #letstalkplants #indoorjungle #covingtonky #tuesdaytips

Pruning and clipping off dead leaves helps encourage new growth in our houseplants and is an important part of plant care. Make sure to use a sterile, sharp tool to discourage pests and disease. A good rule of thumb is to never remove more than 20% of the plant or leaf. We love these gorgeous pruners from #seattleseedco and for only $18, they are an affordable investment for your plant care routine. #pruning #gardentools #tuesdaytips #sageandgarden #covingtonky #shoplocal

Ardisia is a easy houseplant that is also known as the Christmas Berry Plant because of its ability to produce beautiful berries in the winter. We love it in this mid-century modern tabletop planter. Water Ardisia likes to stay moist. This means not allowing the soil to dry out completely, but ensuring it is not wet or water logged. To keep this plant happy, we recommend watering once a week. Check the plant regularly each day to get an estimate of how long it takes to dry out. If it gets dry quickly, increase your watering frequency. Light Ardisia does well in bright indirect light, but can tolerate some sunlight through a window throughout the day. Temperature and Humidity The Ardisia plant is great as an indoor houseplant because ideal growing temps are 60°-80° degrees. #ardisia #midcenturymodern #shoplocal #covingtonky #cincinnati #sundayfunday

Water This pilea likes soil that is moist but not soggy. It’s a good idea to water this plant about 1-2 times per week. Light Tolerates medium light but prefers bright, indirect. Direct light is not tolerated. Temperature and Humidity An average to warm room suits this tropical plant, with its preference being 65°-85.° A humid environment is ideal, making this plant a great choice for a terrarium. Bring home this new friend today! Only one left— come in today or DM to hold. #moonvalleyfriendshipplant #pilea #covington #texturedplants #moonvalley #terrariumplants 
Cute planters are essential to plant care. Okay, maybe not essential, but they sure are nice. See below for actual planter tips and tricks. • Drainage holes are non-negotiable. Roots need air and holes allow our plants to take the water they need and release what they don’t. While plants have various drainage needs, very few can tolerate sitting in stagnate water. Love a pot without a hole? No problem! •Keep your plant in the plastic container it came in (also called the grower’s pot or nursery pot) and place it inside your desired pot. Take the plant out when watering, allow it to drain, then return it to the outer pot. Bonus: This also allows you to combine different plants with various pots whenever you want to switch it up. • If a grower’s pot doesn’t fit perfectly inside your desired pot, flip a smaller pot over to give it some height or place some rocks in the bottom of the pot to align accordingly. In a pinch, a towel can also be used. If you choose to use a towel, ensure you are allowing the plant to drain before returning it to the decorative pot so that the towel remains dry and isn’t holding water. Take the towel out and wash it periodically. Got questions? We love to talk plants. Come in and see us. Let’s talk. #potsandplanters #plantdecor #plantcare #snakeplant #ardisia

Shopping locally creates a positive ripple in society—by keeping our money closer, our community can go further. Ripple Peperomia— with its small stature and its bold corrugated veining, it serves as a reminder that our small choices make a big impact. How much water? Peperomias may look drought-tolerant but they need to be watered when the top half top inch of soil feels dry. How much light? Peperomias like to be in bright light and can tolerate low light, but do not tolerate direct sun. Temperature and Humidity These plants are comfortable in environments that we prefer, around 60°-80° F. Peperomias do well in average humidity but the foliage improves with regular misting. Thank you for making a ripple by choosing to shop with us. #ripplepeperomia #peperomia #shoplocal #lovethecov #peperomia #sageandgarden #rippleeffect

On this wintery Monday morning we are keeping warm with thoughts on this Prince of Orange Philodendron. Prince of Orange is so facinating to watch grow! New leaves start out dark orange, transitioning through to bright orange/yellow until they mature to a beautiful, glossy dark green. Philodendron are very easy to take care of and are a great choice for first time plant parents! How Much Water? These plants tend to prefer more humid environments. They would prefer a weekly watering in the summer months and an every other week watering in the winter months. Don't worry too much about it though, as they are very communicative about their watering needs and will develop yellow leaves if you're overwatering and brown, crispy leaves if underwatering. How Much Sun? Philodendrons are very tolerant to different lighting conditions. They prefer indirect light, but will adapt to most locations. Be aware though that this may change leaf expression: low light will cause your plant to vine more with less frequent leaves. Best Temp & Humidity? This plant is very tolerant and can adjust to most situations, but prefers to be kept above 65F. Any Cautions? Philodendrons are mildly poisonous to humans and animals, so be sure to keep away from small humans and family pets. We open on Wedneday at 11AM, come meet Prince of Orange and take one home with you. #sageandgarden #covingtonky #lovethecov #philodendron #princeoforange #plants #plantcare

On Tuesdays we chat plant care... The topic of fertilizing is up for debate in many of our plant loving circles. Do you really need to fertilize your houseplants? 🤷♀️ Well the answer is simple, yes and no. Check out some of our guidance and tips on fertilization below, then you decide what's best for your plant family! Still can’t figure it out? Stop in or reach out to us. We’ll see how we can help! 🌿 So consider that each time you water your plants nutrients leach out of the soil and plants themselves deplete the soil of nutrients to survive too, right? Unlike plants living outside, houseplants don’t have a regular source of nutrient replenishment unless you do indeed fertilize them in some way. Keep in mind that newly purchased plants (like the ones you are going to get from Sage and Garden this week) have been heavily fertilized in the greenhouse and can wait a few weeks even months before you feed them. Right now in the winter months, most plants are dormant and are not growing that much, so there is no need to fertilize right now. Once the weather shifts and winter departs, your plants will begin growing again and some even flowering! 🌸 This is the time, if you are going to jump on the fertilizing bandwagon to begin fertilizing. When and why would a plant need fertilizer? 🌿If a plant is dropping its lower leaves (and it’s not dormant) 🌿If a plant is NOT showing any signs of growth 🌿If you plant is turning a not-so-pretty yellow-green color Keep in mind though that it may also need more light, less water, so take the time to analyze all conditions before heaping a huge serving of plant food on your plant. Because this is the tricky part, adding fertilizer when a plant does not need it can be WORSE than doing nothing at all. I know, I know, WTH? 🤦♀️ Here are a few simple tips to follow in your fertilizing plan: 🌱Fertilize once a month when plants are flowering or growing 🌱Do not fertilize during the winter months 🌱And, if a plant is wilted, water well first then apply a fertilizer later — after it has recovered. VERY IMPORTANT! ***Post completed in comments 👍 
Mondays and Tuesdays are for restocking the shop with lovely plants. Joe out did himself yesterday when visiting our favorite local nursery. Be ready to stop in Wednesday and fall in love all over again with the green beauties that call Sage + Garden their temporary home. Jessica is currently crushing on this Pink Splash Aglaonema. Aglaonema come in a wide array of colors and patterns. The pink splash, pictured here, has a speckled forest and lovely pink pattern. She is so lovely! Aglaonema like to dry out between waterings, so feel the soil with your finger a few inches down to ensure it isn’t moist right beneath the surface. If your Aglaonema is in a bright location, then you will want to water it when the soil is dry halfway down the root mass. Clean her leaves with a damp towel carefully every couple of weeks to aid photosynthesis and to stimulate growth. Can't wait to see who brings one of these home with them this week! #sageandgarden #covingtonky #plants #plantit #aglaonemalovers #plantlife #sustainableliving

Are you a new plant parent? Did you pick up a new plant at S+G or maybe you were super lucky and someone gifted you a plant baby over the holidays? Are you thinking....now what? Every Tuesday we will offer a helpful plant tip to keep your plant baby thriving! Plant care doesn't need to be complicated or over whelming, think of it as a piece of interior art that is fuild and always organically changing. Allow your plants to provide a daily sense of grounding and nourishment to you and your home. First things first-- Repot right away, or at least as soon as you can. Your new plant is probably already pot-bound. Pot-bound means that the roots have reached the extent of their current growth within the existing nursery pot. Your plant needs to be repotted in order to grow faster and to get the much needed nutrients to the root base and the plant itself. Repotting is also your chance to do a wellness check of the roots and the base of the plant; check for mold, mildow, or anything that smells less than earthy. Secondly, go for a slightly larger pot than what your plant is currently calling home. We recommend going at least two inches wider and deeper than your plant's current pot. Your plant will be happy to have more room to grow and the roots will need room to spread out. And Finally, use the right kind of soil! Ask us or research your plant on-line. Typically, succulents and cacti do best in porous soil containing plenty of perlite and sand and your tropical plant babies do just fine in a basic indoor potting mix. We have custom blends of both at the shop and can mix up smaller bags for you so you don't need to haul a huge bag home from the hardware store. Visit us this week at Sage + Garden and pick out a new home for your plant baby. We have a wide selection of hand-glazed, locally made pots as well as sleek and modern designed planters that will add to your growing green interior artscape. And don't forget your soil! #sageandgarden #localbusiness #plants #tuesdayplanttip #plantit #liveit #sustainit #greenhome
