Pipers, the Pepper Plants
Piper nigrum (Black Pepper), the one that is used more frequently than salt or sugar!
by Alex Butova, the Witch of Herbs and Cats
...Who doesn't know Black Pepper? Every household has a pepper shaker,
even if they are not fans of spicy food. But do you know where black pepper
comes from? Certainly, from a plant. But not from the same plant that gives us
Chili pepper! You will be surprised to know that Black pepper along with its
other spicy relatives, belong to the same family as a Peperomia houseplant!
In the 16th century, people began using name pepper to also mean the unrelated
New World Chili pepper (genus Capsicum of family Solanaceae). Piper's
spiciness is due to the chemical compound piperine, which is a different kind of
spicy from the capsaicin characteristic of Chili peppers...
Today we will tell you more about the most interesting and useful species -
Piper nigrum (Black Pepper), Piper betle (Betel Leaf), Piper sarmentosum (Lalot), and Piper auritum (false Kava-Kava, or Root Beer Plant).

Why should you use Sunshine Boosters?
by Ed Jones, the Booster guy
...You have heard it before, but I will tell you again. Sunshine Boosters are safe to use with every watering. It means that you can use Sunshine Boosters amino acid based fertilizers whenever you water your plants, even in the winter. Why is that so important?..
...We normally stop using dry, timed release, fertilizers around the first of November and not resume using them until the first part of March. This is true in many areas of the deep south where the ground stays above freezing year round...
However, it is safe to use Sunshine Boosters during these cooler months... Temperature does not play a role in the absorption of nutrients when using Sunshine Boosters...
To find out how it works, see Ed's new Article Why should you use Sunshine Boosters. If you want to learn even more in depth, check out his blog: Micronutrients Delivery Systems.
As of this writing, all Sunshine Boosters are on Holiday Sale. There are boosters for all different types of plants. Check them out and -
Give your plants a little something extra for Christmas!

Philodendrons: from the Magic Rainforest...
by Alex Butova, the Witch of Herbs and Cats
...Tropical rainforests have been called the "jewels of the Earth" and
the "world's largest pharmacy", because over one quarter of natural medicines
have been discovered there... One of the most excellent representative of
this green world is a Philodendron... Taxonomically, the genus Philodendron is
still poorly known, with many undescribed species...
...Philodendron care is easy because if you watch for the signals, the
plant will tell you exactly what it needs. Even inexperienced houseplant owners
will have no trouble growing philodendron plants because the plants adapt
readily to conditions inside the home. This makes learning how to care for a
philodendron incredibly simple...
