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.
Angelonia is a versatile plant that can be grown in a variety of settings. It can be used in borders, beds, containers, and hanging baskets. Angelonia is also a popular choice for butterfly gardens.
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.
NGB Year of PPT Hosta 2024.pptx
Hosta are the most popular and well recognized perennial in North America. They have gained their popularity from fantastic foliage that provides interest throughout the growing season. Hosta are adaptable, tough-as-nails plants capable of surviving in the toughest soils and shadiest locations.
One of the ways Hosta ascended in popularity is they can be easily split and shared. They can be dug up, divided, and replanted at almost any time during the year. A term for this type of plant is a “friendship plant” – perennials that are easy to divide and give a piece to your friend or neighbor.
NGB Year of PPT Lily 2024.pptx
Lilies, a testament to nature's artistry, boast a long and storied history. Originating invarious parts of the Northern Hemisphere, they've adorned myths and traditions forthousands of years. In ancient Greek mythology, lilies were believed to have sprungfrom the milk of the goddess Hera, symbolizing purity and renewal. Similarly, inChristian iconography, lilies are often associated with the Virgin Mary, representingpurity, virtue, and the divine.
One reason lilies have managed to thrive and adapt for such a lengthy period isclosely tied to their captivating reproductive strategy. Lilies have a unique floralstructure that facilitates cross-pollination by attracting pollinators, such as bees andbutterflies. The intricate shapes, vibrant colors, and alluring scents of lily flowers haveevolved to ensure successful reproduction through pollination, contributing to theirincredible resilience and diversity.

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.
