The holidays are over. The decorations have been put away for another year. The house looks a little plain, a little drab. In the greyishness of January, your eye catches something in the corner of the room. Why, it's a houseplant! Funny, but with all of the holiday hubabuloo, you've all but forgotten your houseplants.

Today is THE day to get back to tending to, and loving your houseplants. And, it's also a day to appreciate just how special and important they are. They are therapeutic, lifting your mood and outlook. They add warmth and a calming effect. If you are a gardner, they give you an opportunity to play in the dirt, until spring arrives in the far, distant future.

Growing houseplants is pretty easy. They need a little sunlight, water, occasional nutrients, and a little love..

How to Celebrate Houseplant Appreciation Day:

There are lots of ways to celebrate and enjoy this day. They include:

· Start by making sure that the houseplants you already have, are well watered. Give them a special treat today... a little fertilizer.

· If you do not have any houseplants, or just have a couple, buy a new houseplant (or two) on this day).

· Learn more about the benefits of houseplants to your health.

· Stand by your houseplant and breath in the air! It's giving off oxygen.

· Teach your kids about growing and caring for plants.

· Give a houseplant to a friend, especially the elderly or shut-ins.

· Talk to your plants. Yes, people believe plants respond positively, when you talk to them.

Origin of  Houseplant Appreciation Day:

 

This holiday was created by the folks at The Gardener's Network

It was created for two reasons:

1.      To remind people after the holidays, that their forgotten houseplants need a little attention.

2.      To celebrate beneficial houseplants and to encourage growing houseplants.

Tree Planting Where One Was Removed

Many Homeowners love their trees and when trees get ill, about to die, drying up or need removal, homeowners maybe want to replace it with another tree.

So is it a good idea to plant a tree where another one was removed? 

There are many factors that you have to take under consideration before making this decisions because it may not be a good idea and it doesn't work for everyone, results vary.  

In most situations when a tree gets removed they may also ask to remove the stump but the truth is that stumps are difficult to remove 100%, even when the stump isn't visible to the human eye. Many trees have extensive root systems located underground. It also depends on the soil and if that spot still have nutrients for your new tree. Another factor is that if a tree died in that particular space it may be for a certain reason maybe a fungal infection that can affect your new tree and resulting on another dead tree.  Planting a new tree may result in killing it, the new tree's roots wont be able to grow since the old tree's roots are still underground, removing underground roots involves other expensive procedures. It's better for you to plant a new tree either in another completely different spot or maybe a little close to the one you had previously but always consult a tree expert so he studies the area and advises you on what step to take.
