3 Fastest Ways to Kill a Tillandsia (Airplant)

1. Not enough water – you should fully submerge & soak them 1-2x per week for roughly 20 minutes, shake off excess water and air dry.
2. Too Much Water in the wrong places – misting often allows water to pool in the “armpits” and can cause rot
3. Too much sun – these are tropical plants and like heat and HUMIDITY, which is in short supply in sask. If it is in a hot, dry location, more watering is required, or better yet, move it out of the glaring summer sun rays

Also, if you want your airplant to FLOWER and HAVE BABIES, you should soak it in fertilized water every other week. (bromeliad solution, or Miracle Grow at 1/4 strength)

Good luck!

Wedding Trends 2014

With this stubborn snow its hard to believe, but wedding season is upon us.  Based on what we are finding popular locally and across the globe, here are some of the hottest trends for weddings this year:


COLOUR: pale pinks, neutrals, coral, navy blue, grey and aqua in all sorts of combinations.  Click here for more inspiration

FLOWERS:  Brides are straying from the trailing bouquets and more are opting for that tidy, rounded look.  Big, lush, full, multi petalled blooms: peonies, garden roses.  A less expensive option for a similar look is football mums, or realistic faux peonies as their season is short. Get ideas here     More ideas here  and here

RECEPTION: Smaller and more personal soirees.  Rustic/Romantic is huge.  Think Burlap and lace, Roses in mason jars.  Lots of fun outdoors themed ideas.  Some are also requesting an "unplugged" wedding, requesting guests not to facebook or instagram photos from the big day.  More here

FOOD/DRINK:  Brunch!  Again, with small weddings becoming more popular, it opens many doors that wouldn't be a good fit for a large group.  Be inspired here

HONEYMOON: While many opt for the easy peasy all-inclusive resort there are many other ways for the two of you to get away.  Some sweet spots    other locales
