NGB Year of PPT African Violet 2024.pptx
African violets (Saintpaulia ionantha) are one of the most popular houseplants in the world, and for good reason. They are compact, low-growing plants that bloom several times a year in a multitude of colors, including white, pink, purple, blue, and red. African violets are also relatively easy to care for, making them a great choice for both beginners and experienced gardeners.
Here are some tips for caring for your African violet:
Light: African violets prefer bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, as this can scorch their leaves. If you don't have a bright window, you can grow African violets under fluorescent lights.
Water: African violets should be watered regularly, but be careful not to overwater them. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. The best way to water African violets is to bottom water them. This means placing the pot in a shallow dish of water and letting the water soak up through the drainage holes.
Soil: African violets need a well-draining potting mix. You can buy a potting mix specifically designed for African violets, or you can make your own by mixing equal parts peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite.
Fertilizer: African violets should be fertilized regularly during the growing season (spring and summer). Use a balanced fertilizer diluted to half strength. Fertilize every other week.
Grooming: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage new growth. You should also remove any dead or yellowed leaves.
African violets are relatively pest- and disease-resistant, but they can be susceptible to mealybugs, aphids, and spider mites. If you see any pests on your plant, isolate it from other plants and treat it with an insecticidal soap or neem oil.
NGB Year of PPT Angelonia 2024.pptx
Angelonia, also known as summer snapdragon, is a genus of about 30 species of flowering plants native to Mexico and Argentina. It is a popular ornamental plant for its long-lasting blooms and tolerance of heat and drought and other arid conditions.
Angelonia plants are typically upright and bushy, with stalks that can grow up to 3 feet tall. The flowers are small and come in a variety of colors, including white, pink, purple, and yellow. Angelonia blooms from early summer to fall, and its flowers are a favorite of pollinators, such as bees and butterflies.
Angelonia is relatively easy to care for. It prefers full sun or partial shade and well-drained soil. Angelonia should be watered regularly, but it is important to avoid overwatering. Angelonia can be fertilized every few weeks with a balanced fertilizer.

NGB Year of PPT Buddleia 2024.pptx
Buddleia (also spelled and recognized in botanical nomenclature as “Buddleja”) is commonly known as Butterfly Bush. Given that moniker, it is expected that this plant would attract some butterflies to the garden. Yet, that is a drastic understatement. Buddleias are in fact butterfly MAGNETS, drawing a wide range of butterfly and other pollinator species to them with their plethora of sweet-smelling flowers. So much so, that many butterfly gardens are designed around Buddleia as the core element to support these beautiful creatures. In peak bloom Butterfly Bush can become a joyous source of entertainment — transforming the shrub into a mesmerizing real-life GIF animation while the pollinators move from one nectar-rich flower to the next.
Buddleia has a history as a symbol of resurrection, rebirth, and new beginnings. Sporting a lesser-known nickname of “bombsite bush,” this amazing plant is known for thriving in the toughest environments — even in the rubble of war-torn lands. In post-World War II Europe, Buddleia was known for springing to life from amidst debris, offering communities a sign of hope.
