It’s so hotttttttt. I don’t have the tolerance needed to spend a lot of time in the greenhouse in this heat.

I snapped some pictures of this favorite while I was watering yesterday. Cissus discolor has such beautiful purple on the underside of its leaves. I read somewhere that it’s dramatic but I haven’t seen it. In my experience, it just wants attention. It grabs anything and climbs everywhere. And the new leaves are so colorful that you can’t help but stare.

Seriously, not a rare plant, but still an absolute favorite.

The cards are here finally.

Still hoping to do something larger with more contact information and business information in the near future, but I need a logo first. And i will not be creating that logo because that is not my talent.

Ever brought home a beautiful plant from a big store, only for it to fail a week later, leaving you thinking, "I must just be bad at plants?"

Usually, it’s not you! Large-scale commercial nurseries have to prioritize fast turnover, which often means plants are shipped before their root systems are fully established. Case in point: the N'Joy Pothos from the shipment discussed below. They arrived very densely packed and under-rooted. Variegated plants are already sensitive, and despite extra care, about half of them didn't make it.

This is exactly why Oddly Green operates differently. Whether a plant comes to me as a plug or labeled "retail ready," it stays on my bench until it meets my standards. I take on that acclimation and observation time so that when an Oddly Green plant makes it to your home, it’s truly established and built to survive.

Our greenhouse is located in a residential, rural neighborhood and is not open to the public. The current plan doesn’t include a traditional brick and mortar store until 2027 at the earliest.

We’re getting precariously close to colder weather. Tropical houseplants do not like temperatures below 50 degrees. This means our vending options will be limited to indoor venues and Tennessee loves its outdoor events.

Taking all this into account, our website now has a form for requesting specific plants at scheduled vending events. Customers can also contact Oddly Green about meeting up to choose and purchase plants from our greenhouse. We’re also happy to discuss popping up at your location.

All of the tissue cultures have been deflasked. My back is angry about how much time I just spent doing the other 70 that I didn’t do yesterday. Here’s hoping we get a good survival rate.

40 deflasked sundews. 20 D. Filiformis and 20 D Capensis. I’ve just finished the process and put the dome over them. I say that bit for the folks who do tissue cultures and may be coming for me over the appearance of low humidity. I promise you it’s swampy in there. Just give it a minute.

Of course I had some unplanned interruptions during the process. I can only hope these plants want to grow. This is my first time working with carnivorous plants as tissue cultured plantlets. There’s no end to advice available on this process and there’s a lot of variables in that advice. So I made my choices and I have a good sized group of test subjects to gauge results.

Fingers crossed.

79 degrees at 88% humidity is less than enjoyable when you’re doing the evening watering 300 or so plants. But I digress.

These two babies have been secluded for a while. I haven’t said much of anything about them since I got them back in June because they have had struggles. They were hit particularly hard by transition stress when I brought them home. I attribute that mostly to having to have them outside in the heat with me while I waited on others.

The jungle mint stalled. It just sat in a period of stasis for almost 2 months. I noticed a week or so ago that it has started perking up and holding itself a bit higher. I’m hoping this is it coming back.

The monstera devil was hit harder. It’s a smaller plant and didn’t have an established root system. The few roots it had became rotted and I had to take some drastic measures. It’s been living as a cutting. The leaves remained firm but lowered and curled in for weeks. Just recently it has raised them and spread the larger one. I think it may have even gotten a bit wider.

Keep your fingers crossed for the babies. I would love for the em to thrive so I can share them with you guys.

It's time to replenish the murder bugs!

You may have noticed the little brown sachets hanging in the greenhouse in some of our photos. Those sachets release predatory mites slowly over time.

The mites don't harm plants; they eat spider mites, thrips, and other plant harming pests. The bugs inside these sachets are so tiny, it's unlikely you'll ever notice them. They won't bother pets. They're also non-toxic to humans or any other living thing other than the bugs they eat. They do need to be regularly replenished because, with no prey to eat, they die out over time.

Predatory bugs are my first choice for plant pest prevention. There's a laundry list of reasons, including just liking the idea of murder bugs.

When it rains it pours.

I’m almost done potting the stuff that came in last week. The stuff that turned out to be way bigger than anticipated. And I got an email that my tissue culture shipment is expected to deliver tomorrow.

I knew there was a reason I wasn’t doing any markets this weekend. Even though I’m running out of room for all the babies.

Plan to come see us in Morristown next month. I need to make some room.
