Houseplant of the Week

Chinese Money Plant 🍀

Why will I love it?
This easy-to-please houseplant, Pilea peperomioides, is known for its large, coin-shaped leaves. Its common name is Chinese money plant (legend has it that it will reward the owner with financial fortune). These beauties grow and multiply abundantly.

Light or shade?
Position it in a bright room, but away from direct sunlight, which scorches the leaves.

Where should I put it?
It is happy in many settings, from bright indirect to slightly low light. Mine is on a windowsill facing south-west and is loving life.

How do I keep it alive?
This plant prefers a free-draining compost, so allow it to dry out between weekly waterings during the summer and reduce to watering every 10-14 days in the winter. If the leaves start to droop, that’s a sign it needs more water. To prevent your specimen from becoming lopsided, rotate the pot at least once a week.

Did you know …
It is also known as the pass-it-along plant: if planted in a pot with enough space, it will produce miniature versions of itself, so you can cover your home in clones or share them with friends and family.

Plant 101

Ficus elastica Melany’s luscious foliage is a deep, glossy green with a glamorous hint of burgundy. The dense, compact growth habit results in more air-filtering leaves.

☀️
Melany prefers bright, indirect light but does cope quite well in lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight as this will scorch the plant.

💦
Water when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Keep the soil lightly moist at all times, but do not overwater as this will cause leaf drop.

💨
This plant filters airborne toxins such as formaldehyde and carbon monoxide and is part of our clean air plant collection.

⚠️
Considered poisonous due to the latex in the sap, therefore keep away from children and animals. Avoid this plant if you have a latex allergy. Contains allergens that may result in asthma symptoms.

Nobody travels through life without having some influence over others.
What do you want the influence you carry to lead to—ruin or recovery?
Which are you a carrier of —hurt or hope?

As we maneuver through all that life throws at us, do we wish to be used as a poison or a cure? We are all carriers of both, but which will we allow to flow through us?

I sought the Lord [on the authority of His word], and He answered me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
They looked to Him and were radiant;
Their faces will never blush in shame or confusion.
This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him And saved him from all his troubles.
Psalms 34:4‭-‬6 AMP

Don't let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. 💚

Remind yourself again today that there is only one person who ever lived who could truthfully say, “I am the way the truth and the life.” Then once again put your trust in Him.

If you're watching what you eat, consider replacing regular white rice with the healthy superfood, adlai. 👌

What is Adlai?

Adlai also known as “Chinese pearl barley” or “Job’s Tears”, is a tall-grain tropical plant that belongs to the grass family, along with wheat, corn, and rice. The Philippines is abundant in supply of adlai as it has been cultivated and considered as a staple food.
Adlai looks and tastes similar to rice, but has a “slightly nutty” flavor.

Why should you eat adlai?

It is energy-dense.
Adlai can give you three times more energy than white rice. Though it contains more calories, these are healthy carbohydrates and can make you feel full for a longer period.

It is a good source of nutrients.
Adlai is packed with protein and dietary fiber, as well as minerals like calcium, phosphorus, iron, niacin, thiamine, and riboflavin.

It is sourced locally.
Another important feature of adlai is that it is sourced locally. Our farmers from Mindanao and Cordillera will benefit from their harvest if more people switch to adlai. As we strive to become healthier, we are helping our farmers with their livelihood too.

It has a low glycemic index.
Unlike regular rice, adlai has a low glycemic index, which means that it is slowly digested, absorbed, and metabolized, causing a slower rise in blood glucose and insulin levels. Because of this, adlai is beneficial to those who suffer from diabetes or high blood sugar.

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation].
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls.
For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28‭-‬30 AMP
