How Can Elon Musk Save Tesla?

Elon Musk shocked the world when he recently denounced President Trump and exposed him.  The big blowout between the special government employee and the President of the United States occurred last week.  During the blowout, Musk tweeted a series of rapid fire statements about Trump. The most jaw-dropping of them all was the tweet that said: “Without me, Trump would have lost the election.”  It’s clear that Elon believes that his resources and presence while on the campaign was the reason for his win.  Is Musk solely alluding to the money given to the Trump campaign or is he actually alluding to helping him win through other means?   This is a feud that no one saw coming. The two shared what appeared to be an extremely close relationship; one that could even be compared to a father and son bond.  Last month, it had been announced that Musk would be stepping down from his position as senior advisor to resume focus on his companies.  Right before th...

Happy Earth Day! Say Hi to Bruce...


My new plant could not have come on a better day! Happy Earth Day folks!!!  Say hello to Bruce, the newest plant baby in my green scene.  Bruce is a Pachira Aquatica (Guiana Chestnut) plant in the Malvaceae family.  This Pachira Aquatica is in perfect health and is so tall (over three feet). I did not think that it was going to be this big and I’m so ecstatic to see it.  The number one aspect that I love about Pachira Aquatica is its braided trunk because well—it reminds me of hair! It’s pretty cool to see a braid in plant form.  Not only that, I love the idea of growing mini tree indoors.  Pachira Aquatica is native to the tropical wetlands of South and Central America.  I’ve already been eyeing a sister for Bruce that will grow well with it. It is the Dracaena Sanderiana which is native to the Asparagaceae family.

Pachira Aquatica Needs

If you’re on the fence about purchasing a Pachira Aquatica plant, just go for it. It requires positioning in indirect lighting for 5-6 hours per day and watering 1x per week or every other week.  Since Pachira Aquatica loves humid environments, the leaves can be misted regularly or a small space humidifier can be kept nearby.  Adding a mixture of a few drops of neem oil and water will keep plant pests away if they are experienced.  

Fertilizer

This braided trunk plant requires fertilization monthly during spring and summer seasons and every two months during fall and winter. A gentle organic fertilizer is best for use with pachira aquatica. These can be compost, fish meal or an organic liquid fertilizer. Here are a few organic fertilizer brands: Fox Farm Organic liquid plant food, Back to the Roots Organic Plant Food, Organic Plant Magic All Purpose Fertilizer, Jobe’s Organics Fertilizer Spikes/Tablets and Omri Fish & Kelp Fertilizer.  Synthetic fertilizers should never be used as they are extremely harmful to the environment and made using petroleum products.  



Bruce arrived from Costa Farms, a southern based family owned farm that grows over 1500 varieties of plants. Costa Farms has greenhouses in the Dominican Republic, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina and their plants are specially trained to grow as if they are in a home environment. Doing business with Costa Farms has always been a total treat!  The plants are in the best condition and they arrive fresh and ready to continue on their growing and sprouting journey. I’ve found their plants to be much more high quality than other plant nurseries that I’ve become acquainted with.  Costa Farms is able to produce many unique and rare varieties since their head plant hunter travels the world to find all the best plants that individuals will love having in their homes and gardens.  They are on a mission to make plants accessible to everyone. 

-Xo Earth Day Cheers
