After the equinox, daylight gradually decreases🌄, bringing shorter days and longer nights. Outdoor plants naturally respond to this seasonal shift by slowing their growth and storing energy in their roots in preparation for the colder months. Houseplants mirror this cycle as well, benefiting from reduced watering, a pause in fertilization, and steady care without encouraging new growth.
For us, this seasonal transition also brings change. As daylight hours become shorter, our daily routines may shift as we adjust to less time filled with natural light.
Why Is This Important?
When we pay attention to the equinox and the way plants naturally respond to the changing season🍂, we are reminded that we, too, can thrive when we honor life's rhythms.
Just as plants enter a period of rest to conserve and restore energy, we can recognize that slowing down is not an ending. It is a necessary part of renewal, a time to restore, reflect, and prepare for new growth in the seasons to come |

How will you adjust care for your plants, and in your life in the coming season?
Autumn is my favorite time of year. The transformation of colors, picking the last fruits from the garden, collecting seeds from what was grown, and preparing the produce in seasonal dishes like rich soups, breads and healthy greens, bring comfort and rest after the business of summer growing.
What special dishes, baked goods are you planning in your fall cuisine?
Thank for joining us this week!
