A huge amount of the deep sea is still unknown to us. Take a look at some of the bizarre animals that live down there… While the ocean remains largely unexplored, we occasionally get a glimpse of the weird and wonderful creatures that eke out a living in the deep (like the ever-popular blobfish). Here are some that are totally out-of-this-world.

Descend that far into the ocean, and you enter the ‘twilight zone’ of the deep sea, where…

T. zebrina is not very concerned about its soil. Simply use Miracle-Gro® Indoor Potting Mix, a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix proven to be less prone to knotweed (they can’t help but love this plant, too). Choose a pot with drainage holes or a hanging basket. If you go with the latter, a water catch basin that snaps onto the bottom of the pot will make life easier. T. zebrina grows quickly, so be prepared to replant it if you see roots coming out of the bottom or if its growth slows dramatically. Where to grow Tradescantia ZebrinaTradescantia zebrina is native…

Succulents are now seen in everything from boutonnieres to hanging planters. They are a trend that is taking over not only gardens but also wedding and home decor. Succulents are a type of plant that thrives in dry climates. Most succulents come from areas in Africa or Central America where it is warm and low in humidity. Because they store water in their leaves, they can withstand long hours in the sun and little watering. Succulents are known for their low maintenance and longevity, making them perfect for people who work all day, are on the go, or just aren’t…

Succulents fall into many different genera and come from many parts of the world. What unites them is their ability to withstand long periods without water. Many succulents are native to dry, arid areas, including deserts, where rainfall is scarce. As such, they require very little watering and are suitable for growing in low-maintenance planting schemes. Popular succulents include sedums, sempervivums, agaves, aeoniums and pearl ribbons. All are grown for their foliage rather than their flowers. Succulents are also good houseplants. How to Grow SucculentsGrow succulents in free-draining soil or compost, such as cactus compost, in full sun to partial…

When designing a garden, it’s easy to consider hardscape, beds and borders, and landscaping. Many then choose architectural containers that contain a specimen. This can be particularly effective, especially if the effect is repeated along a row of planters. But how about some seasonal style? Why not bring a combination of bold colors into your garden from July to October? Want to follow this with a blend of warming tones for the winter season? You can achieve such showstoppers relatively easily by implementing “The Art of the Planter”. There are some caveats to container planting. They involve extra effort on…

What a year it has been! We’ve laughed and cried and said hello and goodbye. This year has been full of growth for me as a business, but more importantly, as a person.

I will never forget you. Thank you for the honor of capturing the images that I hope you cherish until you see your children again. This client of mine couldn’t have been more elated…

Cramp themHoyas are mostly epiphytic and like to grow in tight spaces. Pot them only when they are drastically root bound, and then only in a container one size up. Feed themLight is the big key to flowering, but feeding helps. Give them a half-strength foliar fertilizer every fortnight during the summer. Water in very hot or dry conditions during summer, but do not water in winter. There are lots of unnamed or misnamed hoyas for sale, so it’s safest to buy from an expert. Wes and Lorraine Vidler grow more than 90 species at their nursery, Weslor, in the…

Plant coleus in a sunny or partially shaded location, in moist but well-drained soil. Coleus are low-growing, so they look best at the front of a border, in combination with other bedding plants, or in pots on a patio. If you are growing coleus as a houseplant, grow it in a bright spot that gets some direct sun.How to plant coleusYou can buy coleus as ‘plug plants’ (young plants) in early spring. Grow them indoors until the weather warms. Plant them out in the garden in May, when no more frost is expected. Harden them (acclimatize them to outdoor conditions)…

This is the easiest houseplant you’ll ever have because it’s impossible to kill, never needs feeding, and isn’t overly sensitive to light. And aside from its low maintenance content, rooted plants in water are well-suited to pretty much any setting, from minimalist aesthetics to eclectic spaces. We show you how to succeed with this trendy but timeless approach to indoor plants. Not all plants will respond well to indoor hydroponics, but there are still plenty of great options. Herbs (mint, oregano, basil, rosemary, lavender and sage) grow quickly in water and will even begin to produce a new leaf each…

There are two main types of lilies to grow: oriental lily and Asiatic lily. Oriental lilies usually have large, fragrant pink flowers. They thrive in acidic soils and should therefore be grown in containers with ericaceous compost. Asiatic lilies have a greater variety of colors including yellow, orange, red and near-black, but they are not fragrant and tend to be smaller than Oriental types. But they thrive in alkaline soil and are extremely hardy, so they’re easier to grow – just plant the bulbs in the garden or in pots of peat-free multi-purpose compost. How to grow lilies Grow Oriental…

You want a large enough bowl or vase to hold all of your orchid’s roots and give them a little extra room to spread out and grow. Your vase also needs to be tall enough to support the stem of your orchid, so it doesn’t topple over. Step 2: Make sure your orchid’s roots are clean and healthy before placing it in the bowl. If you are moving your orchid from soil to water, remove all soil from the roots. Check your orchid’s roots for damage, rot or disease and cut off any unhealthy parts of the root. If your…

Every birth is distinctive and noteworthy in its own way. But it’s even more amazing when a ʙᴀʙʏ is delivered “en caul,” which means the amniotic sac doesn’t rupture during delivery and the child seems to be inside a bubble. En caul births are so uncommon that ᴍᴀɴy mothers have never even heard of them until they happen to them. About 1 in 80,000 births result in a caul birth. People believe that Bᴀʙɪᴇꜱ who are fortunate enough to inherit their caul are lucky and have a special affinity for water. What is an “en caul” birth? After birth, a…

Photography of wildlife is far more difficult than you may imagine. Imagine spending hours in the blazing heat, spending a night in the woods in the dead of winter, or lying in a pool of water with mosquitoes buzzing all around while being incredibly calm and motionless in order to gain the confidence of wild creatures and capture the ideal photo. Not to mention that it takes a lot of luck for the animal to appear at all. Wildlife photography requires a combination of chance, talent, passion for the subject species, patience, and time. And with any luck, you’ll capture…
