    ***seed alert*** If you normally buy seeds online ***seed alert*** If you normally buy seeds online or from a seed catalogue our advice is to buy them now. Seeds are beginning to sell out already. But if you normally purchase them at a greenhouse or in a store, not to worry - most retailers will have loads to choose from (part of the shortage is that retailers have been adding on to their orders). Back to our regular scheduled post. These January days at the greenhouse are known as our focus days. We're in deep planning mode right now, finalizing all our plans for spring 2021. We acutally work about 6 to 8 months in advance and about 75% of spring 2021 was planned in the fall. We're starting to feel the energy and excitment of what's to come; and I don't know about you, but our sunny days are feeling longer and longer. What does January look like for you?

    While you're packing up some of your seasonal deco While you're packing up some of your seasonal decor, it's a great time to dust and clean your plants.⁠ ⁠ What's the best way to dust off their leaves?⁠ I like to throw my plants into the shower and give them a good "rain".⁠ ⁠ Then I grab a moist fibre-cloth, and gently wipe off the leaves (remember not to use cold water).⁠ ⁠ Should you buy anything fancy-shmancy to clean them with? No, they just need a little dusting every so often so that they have clean leaves to photosynthesize efficiently.⁠ ⁠ #learnplantgrow
    Just like humans, plants need sleep. Researchers h Just like humans, plants need sleep. Researchers have been studying what causes plants sleep rhythm and have hypothesized that there may be light signalling pathways in the plant!⁠ ⁠ So just like us they follow a circadian rhythm (a natural day and night). If you have a grow light, don't forget to turn it off before you go to bed so your plants can have a peaceful rest too.⁠ ⁠ (Source: Dr. Lanoue. J and Dr. Xiuming, H; 2020 "Do Plants Need Sleep?"
