The “Unkillable” ZZ Plant: Complete Zamioculcas Care Guide

October 27, 2017 by Weekend Gardener

If you’ve ever thought you just “can’t grow plants” because you have a huge brown thumb, then I have a surprise for you….

Zamioculcas Zamiifolia, or the “ZZ plant”, is the plant for you! It’s almost like it was designed for new gardeners that tend to kill plants. It’s one of the hardiest houseplants you’ll come across, making it the perfect choice for a beginner gardener.

In this guide, we’ll take a look at the incredibly easy to care for Zamioculcas zamiifolia, more commonly referred to simply as the ZZ plant.

I touch on ZZ plant propagation as well, as you’ll probably want more of these babies in your home πŸ™‚

Expanded Clay Pellets (Hydroton) Growing Guide

October 17, 2017 by Weekend Gardener

Sorry for the auto-focusing issues on this video! I’ll get better on the next one, I promise πŸ™‚

The world of hydroponics can be a bit intimidating to someone new to the methods. Even the subject of growing medium can seem convoluted. Should I use floral foam? Growstones? Perlite? Oasis cubes? Coconut chips or fiber? Rockwool? Should I just go jump in a river and fish for rocks?

Before you end up shivering from a frigid dip in the nearest river, look to this guide for information on a particular growing medium that is quite popular amongst hydroponics gardeners.

Hydroton, otherwise known as:
– Lightweight expanded clay aggregate
– LECA clay
– Clay pebbles
– and many other names

Allow me a bit of your time to lay out the good, the bad, the β€œdo’s,” and the β€œdon’ts” of this popular growing substrate.
