(One Person’s View Point) Flower Magic: The Secret Language Of The Flowers
There are many things that were known only about a hundred years ago that have become lost, and the secret language of the flowers is one of them. In days gone by it was held an important part of women’s education to know home remedies, about the qualities of plants and this had a large metaphysical component.
Just knowing that there is a secret language of flowers changes many things; and of course has many applications in practical as well as esoteric magic and energy magic.
Right up to Victorian times, the meaning of flowers was common knowledge amongst people and was used to transmit messages and information.
In this painting which looks so harmless to a modern Westerner and merely decorative, there is story told in flowers about the person who painted it, and the person for whom they painted it. That’s a second layer of information, invisible to those who are not in the know; because of this it is called the secret language of flowers.
If you look for it, you will find flowers everywhere – they appear seemingly harmlessly and randomly in portraits, in the background of stained glass windows in a church; they are carved in stone in palaces and temples; and often you will see a depiction of saints and important historical figures who are holding a flower, or are pointing to one.
On a visit to an old graveyard, you can tell the plants that were chosen to be on a person’s grave, using the secret language of flowers – and the vast majority of people walk right by and have no idea that all of that is going on.
Importantly, flowers were used to express emotions, especially in romantic relationships. Gentlemen would bring posies to the ladies; and the ladies would wear very specific flowers on their hats, or choose or make fabrics that would bear particular flower motives.
Any fabric pre-dating the Second World War has this language of flowers, this additional meaning and information, interwoven into its very structure; this is practical magic where intention is added to a natural existence and used intelligently in order to bring about a change in reality.
For example, if you put on a cushion a design that says in the language of flowers, “If you put your head on this cushion to rest, you will have sweet dreams of love, independence, freedom and joy,” that’s a pure piece of human magic or witchcraft at work. For people who actively practice the art of bringing intention into daily life and shaping their own destiny that way, the language of flowers, that secret layer of intention, energy and information, provides a dictionary of symbols that can be practically evoked in spells and rituals, in magic potions by adding the physical components of that particular flower to the spell.
If you learn the secret language of the flowers, you have a magical alphabet to make your own spells; this is how most of magic works, you don’t learn a bunch of spells and ingredients by heart, but instead, you learn what the ingredients do and so you can mix and match for every occasion.
For example, one of the only surviving flower language symbols is that of the red rose for romantic love. People might nowadays have absolutely no idea what a bluebell was meant to mean only a hundred years ago, or even what a Valerian flower looks like, never mind where you could find one or what its flower language message is, but it is still known that a red rose means love.
Knowing that, you can add the petals of a red rose to any love potion that has a physical/sexual strand to it; and also to any other type of potion where a physical/sexual strand would add a bit of va va voom to the spell in question.
As always, knowing even a little bit about magic opens your eyes, ears and your other senses to the simple fact that there is more to life than the dour ones would have us believe.
Wondering what was said about this lady in the portrait here by the flowers makes meeting with this image in a whole new way. Modern science will have us believe that our ancestors were all a bunch of idiots who believed in superstitious nonsense and that there is no such thing as the invisible worlds of energy and information.
I’m afraid they are the fools; and it’s a shame because the world becomes a much more interesting place when you pay attention and find out about such things as the secret language of the flowers, and how this has been used throughout the ages of mankind to tell us things most people now will never understand.
And if you make the secret language of the flowers your own, you can do many interesting, inspiring and wonderful things with that – even if it’s just choosing a wallpaper that has the right flowers for your purposes on it, and smiling every day when you see it again.
Below is a very short version of the secret language of flowers; for a much more comprehensive flower language dictionary from A-Z with a search function and a reverse list so you can decide the quality/meaning you need and then look up the right flower or plant, go here:

Flashback to 2022 – Spell for Beltane – Charm to “Tie the Knot”
(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)
Beltane Charm to “Tie the Knot”
Much as the Great God and Great Goddess are said to “tie the knot” of marriage at Beltane, we can create our own knot-based magickal charm to honor this ancient and festive sabbat of which the tied-up Maypole is its emblem! When it comes to Beltane a vast majority of ancient pagans – and certainly any Neopagan worth their salt – understands that gender and orientation are of little consequence. Love is love. Whoever we are and however we are, let’s craft a charm of nine loving knots. Feel free to chant the traditional Wiccan knot spell* if it aids your focus. This can be found online and in a variety of Witchcraft books.
Using a long strip of natural fabric (red or white are ideal), tie nine knots, each of which should contain within a small stone, herb, charm, or written prayer specifically for the energy of love** – cosmic, social, and personal – however your intuition guides. After preforming your magick, hang the charm near the front door or bedroom in order for its blessing to illuminate today and onward.

Hexagram Seventeen/17
Name: Sui.
Keyphrase: Following.
Formed By The Trigrams: Lake over Thunder.
General: Balancing the heart and mind of leadership will help assure steady progress.
Love: Show your partner what you require by example rather than words. be gentle with them.
Business: Hard work needs to be balanced by rest.
Personal: Plan for gradual progress and make sure that hard work is balanced by rest.
Overview: Sui indicates that you should lead by example rather than just telling everyone what to do. It indicates a time where gradual progress should be the plan and that work should be balanced with periods of rest. Effective leadership is about serving, not about power and ego. A leader has obligations to all those that work for him and this should not be overlooked. Learn the needs of those that follow you and if some of these needs need correcting then do so by gentle persuasion not by harsh words.

Six/6 of Cups
… In some instances, it quite literally points to our childhoods. In others, it tells us that we are taking an innocent, playful approach to what life is throwing at us. Sometimes the Six of Cups shows us that we aren’t taking parts of our lives seriously enough, though this warning is a welcoming change from the emotional turmoil its suit mates have the tendency to carry with them.
The Upright Meaning
While the Six of Cups is related to our childhood attitudes towards life, it almost never represents our childhoods in the past position.
You’re going to want to examine your more recent history to determine when you could have acted more mature towards the things life put in your path.
Your innocence in the past towards a life event is what has lead you to your current position.
If the Six of Cups appears in your current position, it means that you are living in the moment, and are able to enjoy it without consequence.
This happy-go-lucky attitude is working for you, so long as you are remembering to keep the rest of your life in order as well.
In the future position, the Six of Cups is a wonderful conclusion to your current situation. Despite what the other cards in your spread say, there are good days ahead.
Reversed Position
A reversed Six of Cups is a warning you cannot ignore. This means that you are still being affected by events from your past. It’s important to recognize the signs of lasting trauma, and to remind yourself that you can ask for help, even if you feel alone.
You must encourage yourself to deal with the past, not dwell on it, in order to move forward.

Rune
Hagalaz
Hagalaz is about destructive natural forces: earthquakes, storms, lightening, and all ways that the raw power of nature cannot be controlled. In this sense it is also associated with the unconscious mind, an energy which must be respected and cannot be successfully resisted. You might not be happy about the destructive force of hagalaz but it will bring an end to things and thus create space for something new. This is the cycle of karma.

The Rings
Keywords: Love, relationships.
Meanings: The Rings is the rune of love and when it is the leading stone, it is a positive answer to your question. It is very much a rune of relationship and can indicate engagement, marriage or a new/renewed relationship. It can also indicate the need for a fresh approach to an existing relationship.

Straif
The ogham symbol Straif has the phonetic value of St, and corresponds to the blackthorn or sloe tree, which is known for its magical power. Staves made from its wood were carried by wizards, warlocks, and witches.
In Irish sagas, the blackthorn has association with battle, sacrifice, transformation, and death. It’s also said to be sacred to Donn of the Milesians, the Irish god of death, as well as to goddess Morrighan who oversees matters of war and death.

Hexagram Four/4
Moutain Above, Water Below
Be on guard for the careless or rebellious attitudes characteristic of inexperience. Just as a youth requires instruction, this is a good time to focus on learning lessons from a patient teacher or from life experience. Is there a circumstance in your life that you have failed to comprehend, perhaps because you didn’t appreciate its inherent complexities? Be respectful of anything or anyone who has something to teach you right now. If you are focusing on a relationship, ask yourself which of you is currently the student and which of you is the sage. If you are a parent ask yourself: Who is being the teacher – my child or me?
In order to be ready for challenging times, let education be an ongoing part of your life. Develop the necessary mind-set and willpower to carry you through confusing times. The wise realize that experience – especially difficult experience- is a most powerful teacher. But we cannot be forced to learn, even from experience. Be the humble student who delights in learning, the one who nourishes an expanding awareness.
Examine your attitude for factors that would limit your openness. Observe how you deal with the mistakes of others. Let people live their own lives and learn their own lessons. You may offer them your wisdom or advice, but do so only if they are receptive. Give up trying to convince others that you are right, as it is both exhausting and counterproductive. Instead, all other to proceed, even into difficult or dangerous circumstances. It may be the only way they can learn; and without learning, no one can achive success. Care without forcing attention; trying to take care of someone who is unwilling can actually be harmful. Live and let learn.

7 of Swords – Minor Arcana
Bad Feelings; snooping
A man is carrying away seven swords from an open chest just behind him. The lock on the chest is broken, so he is stealing what is not his. On a shelf above the chest, two tiny Fire dragons are screaming in anger. The little dragons try to warn him, but he refuses to listen. The thief has forced open the perilous box of universal, magickal knowledge within his subconscious mind and thinks to steal away with the power (swords) he found within. Only an initiate, who has studied and brought balance to all areas of his life, is given the key to open this perilous chest of wisdom and power. The thief has found a shortcut to gain what he wants without the work or dedication. He believes he is above the Law and will not suffer karmic consequences. However, he is wrong, for the Law will always be balanced, regardless of human desires to the contrary.
Divination Meaning: You are creating trouble through the wrong use of personal power. Failure of a plan may come about because of wrong motives. Do not snoop into the affairs of another; you will get burned. You feel cheated or wronged.

Ruis
Regret, pride, shame, embarrassment, learning from experience, resolution
Tree: Elder (Sambucus spp.)
Letter: R
Shame isn’t all bad and does not deserve a uniformly awful reputation. Without shame and the fear of being shamed, every human child would be demonically bratty. Shame is a limit that informs us to keep our own ego in check. It is often about considering others. Having shame about one’s own past behavior is motivation to avoid shameful behaviors such as cheating and stealing.
Shame is an emotion that demands confrontation. All too often, people run away from what shames them, attempt to excuse themselves from wrongful or immoral behavior because they’re too cowardly to face what they have done or to admit their responsibility in causing their own misfortunes or the misfortune of others. Ruis indicates a willingness to face one’s own shame and to do with shame what it was meant for, and that is to use shame of the past to build oneself into a better person for the present and future. Ashamed of something you did? How can you make yourself into the type of person who would never even think of doing something like that? Overcome being the type of person who would engage in the shameful behavior and you become the master of it; you won’t have the remotest chance of repeating such a mistake. Did you become embarrassed because you did something you now understand to be greedy? Then learn to balance thriftiness with generosity. Adjust to the circumstance rather than overreacting to it. Are you ashamed about cheating on a boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse? Become a person who would never cheat on your boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse regardless of conditions, which could mean an assortment of outcomes: sticking to a resolution of no cheating and staying together, admitting one’s sexual preferences and going with the flow, changing the person you are with, or being single for a long time.
Because humans tend to remember negative experiences more easily than positive ones, it’s important when you draw Ruis to acknowledge the things you are not ashamed of about yourself. For every bad or shameful thing you’ve done, remember there are a thousand shameful things you avoided. Maybe it is time to appreciate the places you could have gone horribly wrong and did not.
Questions when you draw Ruis:
-What are three acts you are most ashamed of? Are you now the type of person who would not do that anymore?
-What are three shameful behaviors you’ve never done but someone who know has done?
Ruis ill-dignified excess: Beating yourself up too hard
You may be too hard on yourself. Thinking deeply about what you’ve done in your life that you aren’t proud of is great — don’t go too far with it, or only superficially examine behaviors you’re not proud of in order to beat yourself up. Do you have feelings of inferiority you need to analyze? Don’t be afraid to dissect your own shadow.
Too much shame can result in politically correct cowardice. Address your own mistakes before judging the mistakes of others. When you try and repress your feelings of hatred, anger, and fury, the result is toxicity that leaks out under the cracks. If Ruis is ill-dignified in the Situation position, it may be warning of all too common privileged, self-hating bigot types who attempt to enforce political correctness via shame — for instance the idea that racism cannot happen to white men. For those who attempt to use shame to control the behavior of the masses around them, their karma is to end up in the middle of a circular firing squad at best and at worst to be pointing the gun’s nozzle to the roof of their own mouth. Excessive shame can easily sour into a vile form of self-hatred that refuses to acknowledge limits. There is good that can come of shame, but not when it is rooted in dishonesty and the urge to weaponize shame in order to force others to conform.
Ruis ill-dignified dearth: Lacking shame and the good sense that goes with it
Too little shame is solipsism, or the belief that since we answer only to ourselves in the end, the world is a free for all of Social Darwinism and we’d do best to grab all we can in the feeding frenzy. Drawing Ruis ill-dignified isn’t necessarily saying you are the smoking train wreck of a sociopath who is acting the compleat solipsist; it is more of a warning of tendencies towards that type of flawed thinking or a call to look at the nature of solipsism and to meditate upon what it means to you. Don’t be the pot who calls the kettle black. Caring about how your actions impact your family, friends, the environment, and the future is ultimately anti-solipsistic. A little self-shame goes a long way in bettering one’s own development as a human being.

It indicates a need to make sure that jealousy or envy are not present within your life and if they are, to take steps to resolve them. Lu is all about inequality and the need to avoid it.

The Hanged Man – Major Arcana
Meaning
The Hanged Man is a card of suspended animation, although this man tells us some force in his life is restricting him. It could be a dead-end job, relationship, or simply an unfulfilled life because there is no action. It also suggests that you are clinging to something that is not fulfilling. Maybe you have hopes and dreams pinned on a love that is not good for you or a job that will get you nowhere. Whatever you are waiting for, when The Hanged Man Tarot card appears, his message is that you need to let go and move on. It may take a sacrifice of some sort, and it will likely be a painful one, but once you do, you will find the gift sets you free.
Symbolism
The Hanged Man is one of the most ambiguous cards in the Tarot. In this Major Arcana card, we have a man hanging on a thread, his legs are crossed, and he appears to be going nowhere. This is the card of suspended animation. Are you waiting for news or waiting for a relationship to evolve to the next level? If so, this card says you may be waiting a while. The Hanged Man has his legs crossed in this card, suggesting he has no intention of escaping this situation any time soon. He’s content just to let things go as they are now. Most of the time, this card is not so much an action card as it is a waiting card. However, this card does suggest if you want to get out of this waiting stage, uncrossing your legs and taking action is up to you.

“Stay in the background and adapt to the situation rather than being conspicuous and attempting to direct the course of events.”
Even if you believe that you have the right answer for the dilemma at hand or a better way to handle things, at this time it’s best to surrender to the Will of Spirit and simply allow events to unfold without your direct intervention or guidance. Pay attention to what’s happening but become more of a witness/observer than an obvious participant. Simply by your presence you are participating; however, there’s no need to subtly or more blatantly push your agenda on those around you. Even when you’re physically present, you can contract your energy field (or aura) to the point where others may not notice you, thus allowing you to be unobtrusive and more easily blend in with your surroundings. With practice, you can get so good at this that you’ll be nearly invisible to others!
This isn’t a call for you to be passive, but to wait and contain yourself until you know with certainty that it’s time to step up and let your presence be known. When it’s time to do so, move quickly with focus and certainty. But in the meantime, flow with the situation instead of trying to make something happen. Whatever needs to occur is already in motion anyway, so go with it.

Coll/Call
Pronunciation – Cull
Tree Association – hazel
Meaning – Enlightenment, knowledge, creative inspiration, daydreaming, rituals, proficiency, and practicality. An ogham of great wisdom and considered quite lucky. It was believed this source of knowledge came directly from nature and by using all five senses you would comprehend this wisdom.
If reversed – Ignorance, insensitivity, creative barriers. Focus on growing and development; you lack education. If life has been disappointing you recently now is a good time to change your perspective and find the simple joys in everyday moments.
Inscription and Magical Uses – Helpful to use with meditation when searching for creative inspiration, insight, or deep knowledge. Carve or wood burn into hazelwood to use as a wishing wand to help manifest intentions and dreams.
Folklore – The hazel tree was considered so sacred that one would receive the death penalty for chopping it down. An Irish myth references Finn mac Cumhail, an apprentice who gained extraordinary knowledge from eating a salmon that fed on nine hazelnuts from the Well of Wisdom. (FYI, in case you didn’t notice, Coll is the ninth ogham).

Hexagram Fourteen/14
Fire Above, Sky Below
Supreme success! Like the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, a person whose fortunes have turned for the better shines brightly now. At the core of true success lies unselfish generosity and modesty. It is the tendency of a flexible or yielding nature to draw powerful forces to it, especially when prosperity begins to manifest. When this added power is wielded with grace and dignity, we have supreme success and great abundance.
Ah, but be careful, Along with any accumulation of wealth or influence can come increased pride and arrogance. Fight this tendency if you want your good fortune to continue. Stay attentive enough to manage your affairs well. And remember while prosperity beats the alternative, it is only one element of a satisfying life. A lasting prosperity is one that honors the highest values and furthers the collective good.

In my house as a child the only time I got to eat a meal while sitting in front of the television was my breakfast on Saturday morning as long as my mom did not consider it messy. So, I think I ate cereal or toast with peanut butter on it every Saturday for most of my young childhood. After my dad crossed in 1970 I did not watch cartoons as much on Saturday mornings because whether he was at home or work, he drove an ambulance for what is now a large company in Illinois, providing he was not out on a call we watched or talked on the phone laughing them together. I remember these times as some of the best in my childhood!

Dragonfly
Spiritual Meaning
Dragonfly Spirit Animal is an important animal totem in many cultures. To most of Europe, they represent evil. No doubt due to the nasty bite they deliver should you offend him. Japanese people love the dragonfly totem. The Navajo of the Native Americans recognizes them as a symbol of pure water and swiftness and activity.
Certainly, it is worth noting that the dragonfly starts their lives in nymph form. They then become the more familiar form that flies through the air later in their lives.

Calc
Sound: “k”
Stands for: Offering Cup
Casting meaning: Calc denotes the death of the individual, however it is not seen as a death rune. Like Ear, Calc indicates the natural ending or conclusion of a process. Do not view this ending as a termination, but as the end of an old era resulting in a spiritual transformation.

Tinne or Teine
T stands for Tinne, or Teine, the Holly tree. This evergreen plant is connected to immortality, unity, courage, and the stability of hearth and home. Pronounced chihnn-uh by the Celts, the wood of the Holly was often used in the construction of weapons, and is known as a plant of warriors and protectors.
In the pre-Christian British Isles, the Holly was often associated with protection–planting a hedge around your home would keep malevolent spirits out, thanks in no small part to the sharp spikes on the leaves. In Celtic myth, the concept of the Holly King and the Oak King symbolizes the changing of the seasons, and the transition of the earth from the growing time to the dying season.
When Christianity moved into the Celtic lands, the new religion associated the Holly plant with the story of Jesus. The poky spikes on the leaves represent the crown of thorns worn by Jesus on the cross, and the bright red berries symbolize his blood.
Tinne Correspondences
Mundane Aspects: Hang a sprig of Holly in your home to protect your family in your absence. Soak the leaves in spring water under a full moon, and then use the water as a blessing for people or items you wish to protect. There is strength to be found in standing together, and ultimately protection comes from honor and trust.
Magical Aspects: Develop the ability to respond quickly and wisely to your intuition. Learn to overcome and adapt to new situations, and to respond immediately to changes in your spiritual environment. Trust your instinct, but don’t let your heart rule over your head.

Hexagram Five/5
Water Over Heaven Also called “Patience
Changing Lines in Hexagram #5
The lesson of hexagram number 5 is that good things come to those who wait. Patience requires both inner strength and a commitment to resist the temptation of acting prematurely. Often hardships will arise in the course of one’s time spent waiting. The message here is that those who endure these hardships, and “cross great streams” will emerge victorious. Do not be put off your path at this time.
(Side Note: Hexagram lines start at the bottom of the hexageram)
Changes in Line 1
“Waiting at the Field”
Patience is best exercised from a proper vantage point. Consider placing oneself in a position from where one can watch approaching events at a distance. Do not alter your daily routine, because there is much in it that will help you when events move more quickly.
Changes in Line 2
“Waiting by the Sea”
During tests of patience, it is easy to assume the worst. Such assumptions cause undue panic and grief and reduce one’s ability to think clearly and rationally. Remember that with patience comes perseverance. Do not be swayed by unwarranted fears of failure.
Changes in Line 3
“Waiting in the Marsh”
While waiting for events to happen, it is important to remain ready for action. Changes in this line represent a warning that things are not “at the ready” and your response may be too slow when the situation calls for action.
Changes in Line 4
“Waiting by Blood”
Changes in this line are a serious warning that you are not prepared for action that will soon be required of you. It is foolish to remain trapped in a position of weakness. You must urgently “climb out of the pit” you are in, and get yourself to a place where you are capable of action and change.
Changes in Line 5
“Waiting at the Feast”
Your perseverance brings good fortune, but the ultimate achievement still lies ahead. It is important to rest along the way. Enjoy the good things that life has to offer. You will need the strength for the challenge that still lies ahead.
Changes in Line 6
“Falling Down. / Visitors Arrive.”
There are two messages represented by this changing line: The first is a stern message that a serious failure is imminent. You stand at the edge of a pit, and it is quite sure that you will fall. The second message is more unusual: During your fall, “uninvited guests” will arrive. Treat them all well. For they are part of a larger plan that will help you immeasurably.

Muin
Pronunciation – M-win, Moon
Tree Association – Vine
Meaning – Goals are coming to fruition, persuasion, celebration, relaxing, harvesting, and play. Muin wonderfully symbolizes the metaphor of reaping what we’ve sown. Now is a time for pleasure, to rest, and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Vine produces grapes which creates wine that allows us to let go of self-conscience thoughts, allowing for creative inspiration, a relaxed altered consciousness, and revealing truths. It also represents deceit, fallacies, or denial of facts. Remember to continuously pursue the origin or source of any information you receive. Proceed with caution before acting on any facts or advice you’ve been given.
If reversed – a sign of extreme indulgence and serves as a reminder that outstanding achievements also require self-discipline. Watch for indications of dishonesty, misrepresentation, or tall tales.
Inscription and Magical Uses – Helpful when seeking creative inspiration, inner growth, seeking truth, spiritual wisdom, or for help with communication.
Folklore – Vine is connected with the Green Man and Bacchus (god of wine) and is often depicted with vine leaves around his head or as a crown.

Hexagram Twenty – One/21
Name: Shih Ho.
Keyphrase: Biting through.
Formed By The Trigrams: Fire over thunder.
General: Without justice harmony is unattainable.
Love: Don’t let unfair treatment go unanswered. Stand up for yourself.
Business: Watch out for criminal activities being conducted against your business.
Personal: Complex issues can be resolved by receiving insight through meditation.
Overview: Shi Ho is all about injustice. When it forms a barrier between individuals and the community steps must be taken to firmly eradicate it. Action should not be taken lightly though or further disharmony will result. Action taken must be scrupulously just then it will be effective. Shih Ho often appears when crime is the root cause of the problem but not always. Unjustness can exist in other ways. Whether legal or moral the model of justice employed must be honest and honorable.

(One Person’s Viewpoint) Flower Meaning, Symbolizes, and Spiritual Meaning – How to Prune Houseplants
As many of us have house plants that have gotten out of hand over the warmer months, I thought this is a good article to share with you.
How to Prune Houseplants from almanac.com
The days are getting longer and the light is getting stronger. Both signal to your houseplants that it is time to get growing. If your plants are looking leggy and tired after a long winter, revive them by giving them a haircut. They will reward you with healthy new, compact growth. Here’s how to prune houseplants.
Prune or pinch?
Basically whether you prune or pinch depends on the size of the plant stem you wish to cut. If it is just a tender growing tip, then you can easily pinch it out between your thumbnail and forefinger. If it is thicker, some type of tool is necessary such as sharp clean scissors, a knife, or razor blade.
Where to cut?
Dormant buds await where the leaf meets the stem. They are ready to grow and send out new branches when the stem is cut just above the bud. Whether you are pruning just to shape the plant or to rejuvenate an overgrown monster, make your cuts just above a leaf node.
How much to remove?
One common rule of thumb states that we should not remove more than ¼ of the plant’s growth each season but an overgrown plant can benefit from a hard spring pruning.
What is considered hard pruning?
Vining and climbing plants such as ivies, pothos, heart-leaf philodendron, and Swedish ivy can be cut back to about 6 inches long or to whatever length you desire.
Blossoming plants can be cut back hard after they have finished blooming. Remove as much as 2/3rds of the plant to encourage plenty of new shoots that will give you more flowers during the next blossoming cycle.
Multi-stemmed plants can be cut as low as 2 to 4 inches above the soil and they will come back full and bushy.
Some single stem plants such as ficus, dracaena, hibiscus, abutilon, can also be hard pruned to just a few inches above the soil and they will send out new compact growth. Keep their tips pinched and the plants will stay bushy all summer. Be mindful of when flowering plants start to form buds and stop pinching to let them blossom.
Other single stemmed plants such as Norfolk Island pine, palms, and orchids should not be pruned at all.
A word of caution:
If your plant has any health issues or doesn’t have a strong root system, the shock of losing all its leaves could kill it! Please take the health of your plant into consideration before you start chopping.
Basket Case
Don’t be afraid to cut back the leggy ones like my pothos. It hadn’t been pruned in a couple of years and had developed lengthy, mostly leafless, stems that I just kept winding around the pot. Some of the leaves were turning yellow and it was time for it to have a fresh new do for summer. The last time I did this the plant responded almost immediately with bright new growth.
I also winter over tender perennials
like lantana, fuchsia, petunias, and calibrachoa. They respond well to being cut back, repotted, and fertilized. They will be ready to pump out the blossoms as soon as they get back outside.
Fibrous wax begonias weren’t given the Latin name semperflorens—always flowering—for nothing! They earned it! An impulse buy of a 6-pack last spring blossomed non-stop all summer outside and didn’t skip a beat all winter indoors!
They didn’t even notice that they had a haircut and continue to happily bloom just waiting for their chance to go outside again.
If you’d like to make more plants, definitely try rooting your cuttings.
Remove the flowers and strip off some of the lower leaves. Then simply place in a glass of water to root.
There is no time like the present to give your houseplants a tune-up and get them ready for summer. If your plant has outgrown its pot, take advantage of this opportunity to repot it in fresh soil. If roots are cramped move it up into a larger container—not too big though, only 1 to 2 inches larger will suffice. Once nights are reliably in the 50s, start transitioning them outside for their summer vacation.
