My cousin Carrie along with her youngest daughter Elsa treated us for the afternoon with a much anticipated Home Tour!
Carrie and her husband Michael Ellegaard spent many months remodeling their home with projects like removing all of the old carpet and adding hardwood floors. The beautiful wood trim, the brown paneling, and solid wood doors are all original! They updated the kitchen and moved the laundry room to have space for a pantry! Both upstairs and downstairs have the original gorgeous wood burning fireplace. Carrie’s decorating has a touch of her husband’s Danish heritage along with family heirlooms like the grandfather clock and a collective mix of colonial style with some modern touches! Come along with me and listen to Christmas music as we walk through their amazing and beautifully curated home! Carrie had lots of Milkhouse candles burning and it smelled amazing!

You might see their black vehicles drive around town with Michael and their son Isaac! Michael and Carrie own EEE Plumbing! They named it after their two daughters Emilia and Elsa Ellegaard! How fun is that! EEE Plumbing llc
Have a Merry Christmas!🎄

The greenhouse is plentiful of green & blooming plants for the holiday season 🎁 From bold blooms & big bows to simple greens, we are always eager to assist in finding a gift or decor addition to make any home more homey! Plants are such an expression of ourselves and the feeling we want in our spaces.

We are always ready to repot your plant or add a little extra cuteness, just ask! The rosemary wreath style is darling with just a simple, thin bow.. the larger wire vine is stunning with unique ribbon & pinecones. We love it all AND we love helping you find what you love! ❤️

Happy Tuesday!

Poinsettias are a longtime Christmas tradition— dating back to the early 1800s when Joel Poinsett, US Ambassador to Mexico, brought some to the States. They gained more popularity in the 1900s after Albert Ecke and his son grew them and promoted them in Hollywood! Since 2002, December 12th marks National Poinsettia Day! 🎄

String of Turtles (peperomia prostrata) 🐢

This string is actually a peperomia! Their turtle shell leaves trail or grow well in a terrarium rooting across the substrate! That being noted, these turtles enjoy humidity and slightly moist conditions. During the growing season, water more frequently! In the winter months, let your string of turtles dry out well and then give it a good soak. To maintain their stunning leaf pattern, keep in bright, medium light. They can take a little direct sun but not too much! To propagate, it is best to place a stem cutting over slightly moist sphagnum moss in the growing season (much like other string of plants). Older leaves will fade in color a bit– completely normal! Turtles often suffer from over-loving, so don’t helicopter this plant or over think it!

🪴 clay to dry out well, shallow pot, terrarium
☀️ bright, medium light
🌧️ let dry out well before giving it a thorough watering in the winter months. during the growing season maintain slight moisture.

Happy Tuesday!

Topiaries add such an exquisite, elegant touch to any space. Truly an art form, they are lovely entryway greeters, tablescape design, centerpieces, or simply stunning in a sunny location. Perfection for holiday decor and a houseplant! Even at Bernadine’s, these topiaries feel like the final touch ✨

We have an array of topiaries in stock including:
• myrtle
• honeysuckle boxwood
• rosemary

Mini Jade

Though this small leaved plant is often referred to as a jade plant, its true name is portulacaria afra! Care is just the same as a jade and they share very similar characteristics. The most striking differences are their smaller leaves, purple stems, growth pattern, and stem flexibility! These mini “jades” are often used to bonsai, as their stems can be staked up & trimmed to shape. Left alone, they have the most peculiar eye catching shape! New growth will emerge green, darkening to purple, and hardening to bark with maturity.

The care requirements are simple & the rewards are high!
🪴 love clay & well draining soil
☀️ bright direct to indirect light
🌧️ water well only when soil is dry to the touch!!
🌱 easy to propagate directly in soil

Happy Tuesday!

Flashback photo: We just finished painting the boards up over the red brick in the first picture and we were so proud! (1999) Look at the green building next door! It was called Cash Country at that time!
It wasn’t until 2020 that we decided to paint the Schaffitzel building white! Jake and Abe came home from college that summer and we made it a family affair with Barbara and the kids!🤍
We decided to go with the black and white striped awnings after the painting was completed! 🤍🖤
The last picture is what is printed on our new Schaffitzel’s coffee mugs for sale!

Mike and I are in St. Joseph, Michigan today and we will make it to our final destination tomorrow!
Hint: It’s a greenhouse we are visiting!

Have a great Monday!💚

Thanksgiving Cactus

It is true, you will mostly ever find thanksgiving cactus as the holidays approach! Christmas cactus are extremely difficult to find. The main difference is their leaf shape.. thanksgiving has the most darling little points to their shape (see last picture)! Their blooms are absolutely gorgeous and extremely vibrant in color. Red is most common, but there are several different colors! Their bloom time is at least 4-6 weeks. We often see the colors purple, red & purple, red & white, as well as yellow.

They are easy to care for and are forgiving on light requirements! They do well in clay pots, but if you want yours in a ceramic pot just make sure they dry out well in between waterings. Don’t be scared to give them a thorough watering once they have dried out! If an older one needs a little motivation to bloom, give it a little blooming fertilizer. During the growing season give them a well balanced fertilizer as well!

🪴 repot every 2-3 years, soil with perlite
☀️ bright, indirect light!
🌧️ water well once dried out well!
they are jungle cacti not desert cacti!
