One of our favorite houseplants recently is the pencil cactus. Perfect for someone who may travel a lot, these structural plants need very infrequent watering, about once every 3-4 weeks. They do enjoy a ton of sunlight, which can be tough in these Boston apartments, but will appreciate as much as you can give them.

Relatively new to the shop this week, the philodendron selloum! We absolutely love the funky shape of their leaves and their rich, dark green color. In terms of care, this type of philodendron is similar to other plants in that family:
Light: Bright, indirect sunlight. In lower light, their leaves will turn a darker green, and in too much or direct sun, the leaves will fade or get sunburnt.
Water: Water thoroughly once every 7-10 days. Keep soil consistently moist, but not soggy.
As with most houseplants, be sure to keep away from heating/AC vents and any drafty windows and doorways.
We all know that plants typically come in shades of green, but have you ever seen a pink one? We recently got a variety called Stromanthe (stroh-man-thee) in the shop that are beautiful different shades of pink. Their lower leaves are a more vibrant, bright pink, while their upper leaves are more of a pale shade.
An extremely unique plant, they add a perfect pop of unexpected color in any room! They are also the perfect plant for your city apartment - they do not like any direct sunlight. Keep the soil evenly moist, watering well about once a week. Keep in a very bright room. If you see spotty leaves, limit sun exposure.
We have them in the shop in 4" and 6" grow pots. Be sure to come by and get one before they're gone!
