Winter is Coming......

None of us really want to start thinking about the holiday season yet, but the truth is, it's right around the corner...scary!! I know, school just started and I'm asking you to think about November/December, however, the holidays always sneak up on us, so we are trying to help you get out ahead of them. 

We are taking orders for office space and lobby holiday decor, and we would love to help you out any way we can! We are tree lighting experts and would love to deck-the-halls! We offer a free holiday consultation with our amazing sales executives. They will help you to pick from one of our many themes what will look best in your space; whether it's one wreath or one hundred wreaths (we do it all)!!

Getting your Poinsettia to Re-Bloom!

After the holidays one of the most frequently asked questions is ....

"Can I get my poinsettia to bloom again?!"

In short ... Yes! (but it takes time!)

Here's how...

1. During the winter months give it as much light as possible (without direct sunlight)

2. Keep it well watered, but DO NOT fertilize

3. In the early spring (April) cut it back to about 8" high

4. Be sure to remove any colored bracts (leaves) that are left

5. Start to fertilize with houseplant food every other week.

6. In late September you need to give the plant 9-10 hours of good light per day and 14-15 hours of complete darkness for the rest of the day.

7. By the first of December begin treating it like a regular houseplant 

Best of luck!! It can be a fun challenge with a colorful reward in a year!

Keeping up with the trends: 2016 Holiday Trends

Not only did Harding Botanicals attend TPIE this winter, we also got to venture the halls of the Dallas Market Center! We spent a few days in glitter filled rooms picking out our favorite ornaments and sprays, chatting with sales reps about their new lines, and viewing the upcoming trends for the 2016 Holiday season. Take a look at some of the new emerging designs for this year.

1. Metallics: we are SO excited about this one! We LOVE metallics and the idea of a fully monochromatic design!

2. Frosty Blue and White: This color scheme first appeared last year in 2014/2015 with the ever popular Frozen movie, but this year they have really outdone themselves with revamping the design and making it so much more elegant.

3. Rose Quartz: This is a new color on the market this year, it's a light gold/light pink color. They have paired it up with champagne, silver, and pearl. What are your thoughts on this new design?

4. Rustics: This is a trend that has been around for a while. We love how comfy cozy this look is. The rustic look uses neutral tones and very country and "homey" ornaments. 

Upon returning we have been inspired by all that we saw and have come up with some of our own designs! We can't to get started putting our ideas into reality and creating some new and fresh stuff for our clients!
