Tour the gardens of two of our CGC members. (CGC members only)
By Gillian Stack
Jimmy Kong and Kelly Zhang relocated from New Jersey to their current address at 1871 Harrier Avenue, The Reserve at Lost Lake just two years ago.
In a small but maintainable yard they have created a mini garden of joy. Planting a variety of fruit trees, including oranges, bananas, vegetables, medicinal herbs and flowering plants.
They are lovingly tending to their plants from early morning through to the evening. This is why they have been chosen for The Clermont Garden Club’s Yard of the Month for September 2023.
CGC member, Cindy Simon, shares a Ruby Red Fittonia plant with City Hall.
The Fittonia argyroneura is a striking houseplant due to the color combination in its leaves: pink and green, white and green, or green and red. Growing this plant is easy, however, it has the tendency to look wilted when you neglect to water it. Don’t worry. It can perk right back up once it is watered.
Plant Care:
Growth: Approx 4”
Pet Friendly
Likes bright, indirect light
Prefers its soil moist but not soggy. Water when the soil starts to feel dry. Water evenly around the plant. Do not overwater
Linda Lauletta, CGC member (on right) is pictured with library assistant, Victoria.
Linda is sharing Anthurium spp., Flamingo Flower for the month of September. The plant is an herbaceous perennial, 12-18 inches tall with a 9–12-inch spread. The plant likes bright indirect light sitting in coarse, moist potting mix. Flowers year round, usually 3-month intervals and comes in colors of red, pink, or white with a contrasting spadix.
An anthurium can be grown in a glass of water. Keep the glass two-thirds full of water and add a drop or two of liquid houseplant fertilizer to the water every 10 to 14 days. Fill the bottom 3 inches of the glass with small pebbles to anchor roots.
