Learning where our houseplants thrive in the wild helps us to take care of them in our homes.
🌵For instance, cacti and succulents grow in sunny environments that don’t often get rain, but when they do, it’s a downpour! So instead of lightly misting your succulents and cacti give them the downpour that they want. Just don’t do it very often and be sure they live in a sunny window or under grow lights so they don’t stretch for the light!
🌴For most tropical plants, find them a home in your home where they can soak up as much ambient humidity as possible while receiving bright but often filtered light.
🌿Tips for adding humidity to your home include hanging your laundry up to dry, bringing your plants into the bathroom during or after you’ve showered, keeping them in the kitchen if you cook often to soak up the ambient moisture.
🪴Then, once your plants receive adequate light, it’s time to feed them with our concentrated, organic plant care tonics made from, you guessed it, PLANTS!

Sending love and abundant growth to you
Nature therapy for you.
This month we will be focusing on the sacred water element and thought the perfect beginning were moments from our local waterfalls just down the road from our home here in Portland, Oregon.
May this bring you a sense of peace and inspire you to reconnect with nature as often as possible, even if it is simply to go for a walk and notice the ‘weeds’ or to hug a sidewalk tree. Remember, you are
with love
Gentle reminder: houseplants are part of our natural world, just like you and me. And just like you and me, they crave nourishment from nature, not something created in a lab to synthetically maximize growth while skipping essential building blocks!🪴
At Sacred Elements, we believe that plant health begins with ingredients Nature provides. Powerhouse botanicals like fresh aloe vera, comfrey, alfalfa, kelp, stinging nettle and yarrow that restore vitality and build cellular structures to grow stronger, more vibrant and resilient plants, naturally!
♻️Plants growing plants. That’s the foundation of our handmade Plant Care Tonics!

Time to repot your houseplants? Our best tips to help guide you 💚
Your green friends often prefer smaller spaces to expansive ones. A common misconception is that houseplants require frequent repotting to thrive, but potting them with too much soil can actually do more harm than good!
We recommend upsizing your pot only when the root system has filled at least half of its current container, if they are growing in tight, dense circles, or when roots begin to emerge from the drainage holes.
When a pot is too large, the root system cannot adequately hydrate or efficiently absorb nutrients, which often leads to root rot or stunted growth.
Stay tuned for our recommendation to match containers with your unique plant parenting style for stress free growing 🌱💚
Gentle reminder dear ones 💚 be sure to soak in some natural world therapy this week. Touch moss, hug a tree, walk barefoot on the earth. Ground and release.

🌿3 reasons to clean houseplant leaves (and skip the toxic chemicals when you do)
Beside the self care bonus of slowing down to enjoy the simple ritual of leaf cleaning and the reward of a glowing leaf, spraying your plants is a way to protect your houseplants from pests and pathogens while checking for overall plant health.
💧Foliar feeding
Giving your plants a Sacred Leaf shower treats them to beneficial nutrients. While the vast majority of nutrients (80-90%) are taken up through the tips of the roots, foliar feeding is an effective method of treating nutrient deficiencies while boosting plant growth, especially during times of stress (pest infestations, disease, transplanting or moving).
🍃Leaf Anatomy
Stomata are tiny openings (like the pores on our own skin) composed of living cells. They’re located on the epidermis of leaves, generally the bottom side of the leaf which protects them from extreme heat (sun) or from extreme airflow (wind). These openings are surrounded by guard cells which contain chloroplasts that are responsible for photosynthesis, the life giving energy of the plant. A vital function! These guard cells are also responsible for opening and closing the stoma, an important role for regulating hydration and gas exchange.
The leaf cuticle is the outermost layer of a leaf and a pathway of micro pores where most nutrient intake occurs, previously thought to be the function of the stoma.
☠️ Skip the toxic leaf shine or chemical pest care!
Why spray something you need to wear a mask while applying when you can use our natural, effective, non toxic, pet and pollinator friendly solution instead? Plus it smells amazing and you can even spray it on yourself!
Mix up a batch for 5 cents per 16 ounce application! No plastic bottle to toss in the bin (and no big box store to profit) what’s not to love?
🌱Did you know our tonics are shelf stable for up to
four years? Once you mix a batch you can keep it in a cool dark place for 7-10 days before swapping out for a new batch.
💦 A gentle reminder to clean your spray bottle regularly as our tonics are preservative free!
Learning where the plants you care for begin their lives is an important step in understanding how to take care of them.
🪴Bulbs, Tubers, Corms, Rhizomes, Stolons, Suckers and Offsets! We just updated our original blog post covering this subject, and it sounds a little like this:
Bulbs, tubers, rhizomes, and corms are often collectively referred to as “bulbs” as their basic functions serve similar purposes: to store food, water and minerals as energy and to give new life to the plant. Plus, they often look the same or have similar physical attributes.
True Bulbs are globe shaped with papery skin and made up of modified leaves that store nutrients and enclose around a vegetative growth point or flowering bud. Onions and amaryllis may be the most visually clear examples of true bulbs.
Examples of true bulbs include hyacinths, onion, garlic, amaryllis, shallots, tulips, daffodils, fritillaria and lilies
Corms look like true bulbs but are actually swollen base stems that store food for the plant during dormancy. Unlike true bulbs, corms are solid and often elongated in shape with a membranous or scaly texture. If you’ve ever dug up your oxalis triangularis or looked closely at turmeric, these have the quintessential qualities of a corm.
Examples of corms include: alocasia, elephant garlic, oxalis, crocus, freesia, gladiolas, tuberous begonias, saffron crocus, water chestnut, ranunculus and celeriac just to name a few!

Crimson Clover is an incredible addition to plant in your garden next fall. Its boosts nitrogen, is amazing for pollinators, and does wonders for the quality of your soil.
AND that’s exactly why it’s a key ingredient in our concentrated, organic plant and pest care tonics! Plants growing plants ♻️🪴🌱
