CARING FOR HOLIDAY-THEMED PLANTS

MARK AND BEN CULLEN

A few of the seasonal plants that are popular this time of year are orchids, cyclamen, poinsettia and amaryllis. Caring for these indoor plants is fairly simple as most of them are low maintenance.

ORCHIDS

Orchids are not hard to grow (one myth dispelled!). In fact, we find many people who are good at ignoring their plants, grow orchids very well. The most 16

Renters Guide | Dec. 1–15, 2023

common orchids are epiphytic and lipophilic-type cymbidium orchids, which means they grow in trees or on rocks in tropical climates. In your home, they prefer indirect light and cool, but not cold temperatures — 17 to 24 degrees Celsius is best. A cool, bright window works well.

Fertilize once a month with an orchid fertilizer. It’s best to let the roots get dry between watering.

When you do water, soak the roots by leaving the pot in the sink over night.

CYCLAMEN

Easy to grow, cyclamen don’t demand much attention.

Like orchids, they enjoy cool

temperatures and indirect but bright light. Fertilize with 2020-20 once a month. Available in pink, red, white and a variety of lipstick-bright colours, they can continue to bloom for up to four months.

Many of the new introductions over recent years have featured wonderful colour combinations and the solid-coloured plants are available in vivid shades of red, pink, and white that will knock your eyes out.

You do not need a green thumb to take care of cyclamen. Water this plant when the soil feels dry.

Gradually cut back on watering as the flowers fade and the plant goes dormant in the spring.

Poinsettia

Orchid

While in bloom, place it in a bright window. While dormant, keep it in a cool dark place with good air circulation. Avoid getting the soil wet while the plant is dormant, as the root tuber can rot. Cyclamen will emerge from dormancy in September. Start watering and fertilizing regularly at this point. Move the plant to a bright room but keep it away from direct sunlight until it blooms.

Cyclamen need relatively high humidity, especially during the dry winter months. Mist it with water every day or two and keep in the coolest room in your house for best performance. Doing this will ensure it survives and blooms next winter.

POINSETTIA

This is the number one seasonal flowering plant at this time of year. Originally from the desert of Mexico, this tells you that they like to be dry between watering applications. They do not like drafts from open doors and mostly, they enjoy the brightest natural light you can offer. Note that the bright red “flowers” are not flowers at all, but coloured leaves. The flowers are smallish and yellow, appearing in the

Cyclamen

middle of a leaf cluster on the top of the plant. When you buy a poinsettia, look for one that is not in “flower” to ensure the longest possible bloom time. To care for these tropical plants, place them near a sunny window and keep the temperature constant, around 18-23 degrees Celsius.

Water the plant when the soil surface feels dry to the touch. In low humidity seasons, such as the winter, this could be as often as once a day. However, do not let it sit in water, as this will kill it. Most poinsettia problems are due to overwatering. Remove the plant from the decorative wrap when you first bring it home and place the potted plant in a saucer where the water can drain freely through the bottom.

AMARYLLIS

You may buy amaryllis as a bulb or a flowering plant depending on the time of year. Right now, both are available at most garden retailers.

The bulbs are fun and very easy to grow. Plant the amaryllis bulb in

a pot about 2 cm wider than the bulb, using quality, well-drained potting mix. Place in a bright room near a sunny window. Warm temperatures hasten blooming.

When it does bloom, usually about six to eight weeks after you pot the bulb up, pull the plant back from bright light to prolong the blossom time.

Don’t lose patience if it takes its time to push up a stem and bloom.

Sometimes they are just a bit lazy.

Remember to look for a quality bulb: The larger the bulb, the greater the number of flowers and flower stems. Make sure that it is firm, like a good onion. A long, sweet journey.

Quiet luxury meets hotel escape for a trend that’s all about making home feel like a place where you can relax and treat yourself. Think elevated bedding, spalike bathroom updates, and investing in appliances or details that make daily rituals a little more of a special experience.

Colour coating A maximalist approach to colour will vamp up the energy in any room. Take the drenching approach by filling a space with a monochromatic tone for a clean yet impactful effect. Or choose a vibrant palette of harmonious shades and layer them for a more eclectic finish.

Typically expected to lean toward a simpler and more neutral look, flooring trends are pushing the unexpected and are anything but basic. Checkered tiles, herringbone hardwood, and lively area rugs are just a few of the endless ways to make a statement with your room’s foundation.

Snuggle up in style in a bedroom designed for comfort and

warmth

pro-tip:

Before you go shopping, measure your mattress depth.

Standard sheet sets might not fit mattresses that are higher than 14 inches. Include your mattress pad or topper in your measurement, as the additional thickness needs to be considered. There are three common height ranges for fitted sheets: Standard, deep pocket, and extra-deep pocket.

your bed. Also, mattresses come in a range of depths and dimensions and selecting the right size sheets can feel like a guessing game.

Layer up

W

hile you might consider key furnishings such as a bed or dressing table to be the focal point in the bedroom, it’s really the fabrics that take centre stage. Materials are a unifying feature in any room, but they garner a special significance in the bedroom, as they are both a design element and a functional necessity. Heading into the cooler months is when we feel the impact of bedroom fabrics the most.

As temperatures begin to plummet and hibernation mode sets in, we are tempted to spend more time nestled in our bed. Here are three tips if you’re shopping for sheets, plush pillowcases and cold-weather covers.

Seasonal switch-up The transition between seasons is an excellent signal to swap out your bedding. A refreshed bed scape will create a comfortable, cosy nest for sleeping, no matter what Mother Nature has in store for us. This is a great time to pack away your lightweight cottons and linens, and dress your bed in heavier, heatretaining fabrics.

COTTON FLANNEL If you tend to reach for flannel shirts and pajamas when the

temperatures drop, flannel sheets might be right up your alley. This soft, mid-weight cotton has a fuzzy finish that comes from brushing or a loose weave. Flannel packs an extra punch of fluff to keep you toasty through the cooler nights ahead.

EGYPTIAN COTTON If you want to surround yourself in warmth and luxury, Egyptian cotton is for you. Widely hailed as the most luxurious bedding fabric around, Egyptian cotton is the common name for the extra long staple (ELS) cotton produced in Egypt’s unique climate, where cotton fibres grow longer than other cotton varieties. With an unsurpassed reputation for exceptional quality, Egyptian cotton yields sheets with superior softness, durability and breathability. One touch of this exquisite fabric and you won’t give the higher price tag a second thought.

Dressing your bed for cooler seasons doesn’t stop at sheets, pillowcases and a comforter.

Layering is an effective way to give visual and physical warmth to a room. Add a mattress topper, extra pillows and throws in a variety of textures and textiles such as velvet, wool and chunky knits for more heat. Don’t forget about plush area rugs underfoot and treatments for the windows.

Heavier, coordinated drapery on your windows helps trap in heat and block out light, so you can hibernate in total comfort, while creating a cohesive esthetic.

It’s all in the details When designing a bedroom interior, it’s easy to fixate on the bed as the focal point of the room.

While this starts you off on the right track, you’re just scratching the surface of what’s possible with bedroom design. The sum total of all the little details can make or break a room. And, in the case of a bedroom, luxurious, layered fabrics that are perfectly fitted to the space and the season can all but guarantee a good night’s sleep.

Size matters Selecting bedsheets that are the correct size for your mattress is critical to comfort. Loose sheets can become a tangled nightmare while you sleep, while sheets that are too tight put you in the middle of a wrestling match every time you wash your linens and make

ADVICE | MAKE YOUR MOVE

WHEN IT COMES TO MOVING, IT’S

ALL ABOUT TIMING CHUCK RESNICK

When it comes to ensuring a successful move, timing is everything! So the first question to ask is, are you moving yourself, or will you hire movers? Be sure to book the moving company or truck at least a month ahead, if not more.

Next, are you going to do the packing or let the professionals do the job for you? If you are thinking DIY, start collecting/buying boxes and packing material.

Professional movers usually sell standard-sized boxes that are sturdy and easy to stack, as well as paper that can protect your items without leaving newsprint behind.

Finally, which of your belongings do you want/need to move? Why not purge all of those unnecessary items you don’t need?

The following is a handy reference for what to do when.

A MONTH BEFORE THE MOVE …

• De-clutter, pitch, give away, donate — whatever — but pare down your goods.

• Obtain change-of-address cards from the post office.

• Notify magazines, insurance companies, banks, credit card companies, schools, employers, etc. of your change of address.

• If you are moving to a new home or condo that includes appliances, ask for the owner’s manuals ahead of time.

32

Renters Guide | Dec. 1–15, 2023

ONE TO TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE…

• Make a closet of items you will need to clean the place once furniture is moved (broom, dustpan, cleansers, etc.).

• Either start packing or make sure your mover begins. Label boxes as you pack with the contents and which room each will go into at your new digs.

Write the destination room on the top and sides of each box.

• Schedule disconnects for utilities and phone, but make sure you still have the use of your phone line on moving day. Arrange for hook-ups at the other end.

• Cancel newspapers and any companies you use for services.

• Send change-of-address cards.

THE DAY BEFORE THE MOVE…

• Clean out and dry the fridge and freezer.

• Get to a bank or bank machine and take out enough cash to tide you over.

• Pack a last-minute essentials bag/box.

• Arrange for children and pets to be looked after elsewhere on moving day.

ON MOVING DAY…

• Double and triple check all rooms, closets, garage, basement, attic etc., to ensure that you have all of your things and the areas are left clean.

• Carry your own (family’s) valuables to the move and all other important documents.

ADVICE | RENTAL PRO

RENTING VERSUS OWNING FIVE REASONS RENTING IS BETTER ANNE MARSHALL

Here are five good reasons why renting is preferable to owning.

1. PROPERTY MAINTENANCE.

Shovelling snow, raking autumn leaves, mowing the lawn – outdoor tasks are your landlord, superintendent or management company’s responsibility, unless your lease dictates otherwise.

2. FIXTURE REPAIR. If your

shower stops running properly, it’s your landlord’s responsibility to call and pay for a plumber.

3. ACCESS TO AMENITIES.

Pools, gyms, party rooms and libraries are all fairly common features of upscale modern apartment buildings. In addition, high-density housing is often situated in the heart of the city, close to entertainment and shopping.

4. CHEAPER INSURANCE.

Unlike homeowners, renters do not have to insure the property – only the contents.

When you get your renters’ insurance, expect to be paying approximately half of what you would if you owned your home.

5. LOWER UTILITY COSTS. Heating

(or cooling) a larger space than that which you actually occupy is one of the downsides of home ownership. Rental units have more compact floorplans, and in the winter you may even benefit from ambient heat from the apartments around you.

Anne Marshall has lived in New York City, Glasgow (Scotland), Greensboro (NC), Toronto, and somehow ended up back in the fabulous small city of Guelph, where she grew up.

Create a guest bedroom that will spoil your visitors

G

by Diana Rose • photos Mike ChajeCki

racious hosting is all about making your guests feel comfortable. It’s also about making your home, their home, even if only for a short period of time. This is when some of those often-overlooked rooms come into focus – namely, the guest bedroom and bath.

Follow these design tips to style these spaces as a cosy retreat your visitors will never want to leave!

Decorate with neutrals If your goal is to make them comfortable, using a neutral colour palette of creams, whites and gentle greys will go a long way. Generally speaking, this family of hues is broadly appealing, which makes it a great choice for a guest bedroom, where one guest’s esthetic preferences and comfort level may differ dramatically from another’s.

Another reason neutral colours work well in a guest bedroom – or in any bedroom – is the atmosphere and ambience they lend to the space. Cool, calm and collected is the ultimate in guest room goals.

Finally, as we see colour trends fade in and out of style every year, a neutral colour scheme has

remained consistent. Going this route means you won’t have to redecorate any time soon.

Make it indulgent Treat your guests to a little luxury for the duration of their stay.

When it comes to extravagances, the best place to take your cues is from the hotel industry.

Think back to your favourite vacation accommodation, and remember what made your stay so memorable. Then, incorporate some of these elements into your bedrooms at home. Fresh soft bedding, piles of pillows and extra blankets are sleep essentials, especially during the winter months. In the guest bath, ensure there are plenty of plush towels and toiletries at your guests’ disposal.

From a decor perspective, you can incorporate little luxuries into the room in the form of a textured feature wall, elegant window coverings, modern lighting, and furnishings that are both practical and stylish.

Enhance function and interest Some thoughtful accessories and pieces of furniture, beyond the bed

and night tables, can really give your guests added independence and flexibility in their room.

Assume that visitors will be using the room to relax and do their own thing at times, so aim for comfort and function. Incorporate a small sitting area tucked into the corner of a room to add visual interest, while providing a place for people to sit, take a phone call, or just relax With that said, don’t overburden the room, or your guests, with too much “stuff.” Keep the space clean and clutter-free to maintain its sense of rest and relaxation.

All the right pieces Creating a “home away from home” is easy when you have the right inspiration. But while your goal is to indulge your guests, remember that the room is in your home, so it should align with your own esthetic preferences and practical needs. With the right pieces in place, you just might find yourself spending a lot more time in the guest room.
