Moon Valley Nursery's Holiday Poinsettias

Keep your Poinsettias Vibrant this Holiday

Poinsettias remain one of the most popular Christmas holiday flowers. The sea of red reminds us that the holiday season is upon us. Moon Valley Nursery has a huge selection of these holiday must- haves.

Here are some tips that will help keep your Poinsettia vibrant and healthy:
When You First Bring Your Poinsettia Home From Moon Valley Nursery Remember:

Light

Water

Temperature

Light - Place it near a sunny window. South, east or west facing windows are preferable to a north facing window. Poinsettias are tropical plants and will benefit from as much direct sunlight as you can provide.

Water - Water the plant whenever the surface feels dry to the touch. Simply feel the surface of the poinsettia with your hand. Water until it drains out the bottom, but don’t let the plant sit in water. It is best to water in a sink where the water can drain, or outside.

Ideal temperature - To keep the poinsettia in bloom for as long as possible maintain a temperature of 65 - 75 degrees F˚ during the day. The drop in temperature to 60˚F at nightfall does not harm the plant. However, cold drafts or allowing the leaves to touch a cold window can injure the leaves and cause premature leaf drop.

Enjoy the rich colors of these holiday must-haves as a center piece at your dinner table or throughout your patios and porches. Come in today and take home your beautiful Poinsettias from Moon Valley Nursery.

Enjoy the Monarch Butterflies

Plant a Butterfly Garden this fall with

Moon Valley Nurseries

A beautiful and fun way to see more butterflies this fall is to plant a butterfly garden. During the fall your garden will attract not only monarch’s but also many other butterflies.

Add a colorful touch in your garden. A butterfly gardener reaps many rewards. People usually enjoy the same colorful flowers butterflies prefer, so a butterfly garden can win compliments from you and your neighbors.


Practice water conservation. If you plant a butterfly garden where there used to be lawn, there is also less grass to mow, which means less work with the lawn mower as well as less air and noise pollution if your mower runs on gas.


Create a diverse garden. Butterflies like lots of different plants, so creating a garden adds biological diversity to your yard. Diversity can reduce populations of pest insects by making it harder for them to find their host plants. Butterflies also often like native plants. Including those species in your garden usually means less maintenance, since those plants are used to the natural weather conditions in your area. Butterflies themselves are an important part of the ecosystem, and can pollinate many plants.

Trees and plants that will attract butterflies
 Butterflies love the Shoe String Acacia Tree. It is an evergreen desert tree and is a fast grower and looks great in a desert landscape. Call Moon Valley Nursery at 602-938-6666 today and start attracting monarch butterflies to your shoe string acacia tree.

Butterflies are attracted to Parry’s Penstemon. This shrub is not only beautiful, but also very easy to grow. It looks well in any landscape and will compliment other plants already established in your garden.

Tip


How do you tell the difference between Mr. and Mrs. Monarch Butterfly? Telling the difference between Mr. and Mrs. is easy. A male butterfly has two distinct dots at the bottom of its wings and its black veins are less pronounced. In contrast, a female butterfly doesn’t have dots and her veins are ‘thicker’.

Fall is a great time to spend time in your garden. By planting trees and plants that will naturally attract butterflies is a great way to add to the conservation of the environment and enrich your landscape. A Moon Valley Nursery staff member will be able to suggest more plant material that will attract a flurry of monarchs to your garden this fall.

What the Experts are Saying

“Large chain stores are unable to meet the demands of garden enthusiast and tree and plant consumers”. The Wall Street Journal reports that Target Corporation is closing all of its 262 garden centers. The garden centers are located mainly in Florida, Nevada, California and Arizona (“Target to Close Garden Centers." Wall Street Journal August 17, 2010, Print).
