Colocasia  -  Sagittarius  Zodiac  Lucky  Plant

By Alex Butova, the Witch of Herbs and Cats

...Of all three fire signs, Sagittarius is the least likely to care with growing plants.... In the short hours of rest, he will gladly look and smell, and taste, and even will delighted with them (if time remains), thinking: "Beautiful! I hadn't noticed before?" And, instructing someone to start growing the plants he likes, this tireless Archer will hurry further... Plants that can attract the attention of Sagittarius most often have large spectacular flowers with a pronounced scent, often they have large, elongated leathery leaves. And he also really likes fruits and nuts - he loves a deliciousness....
...Colocasia's and Alocasia's heart-shaped leaves,  arrow-like (named also sagittate!) shoots, and overall rarity makes these plants stand out next to more traditional house plants. These plants are known as needing little more love and care, but also for being able to return these benefits to their gardener. Alocasias are so perfect for Sagittarius, he feels their vibrations, which are so necessary for him in achieving his goals. They are the real talisman for this sign...

How to improve plant cold hardiness?

Pland cold hardiness depends on several factors, including:
1) genetics of specific species
2) maturity of the plant, size of root system, stems and branches
3) plant health and vigor which is supported by proper nutrition program and adding special plant hormones.

While 1) and 2) may be out of our control, the 3rd factor is something that can be easily improved! It is important to feed plants during the season of active growth on regular basis by applying macro- and micro- elements. Liquid fertilizers and especially natural plant food like Sunshine Boosters can be applied year around to keep plants healthy and strong.
Besides the routine fertilizing program, just a few applications of special plant hormones can increase tropical plant hardiness big time! Before the cold is coming, spray your plants with these 3 magic potions and they will gain a few degrees in low temperature tolerance! It is recommended to make 2-3 applications.
