Your Guide to Thriving Greenery Despite the Heat
As summer arrives and temperatures rise, indoor plants face significant challenges such as dehydration, yellowing leaves, and slow growth. While houseplants bring beauty and a calming presence to any space, they require special care during the hotter months to stay healthy and vibrant.
. Smart Watering is Key
One of the most common summer mistakes is overwatering, assuming that heat equals constant thirst. In reality, each plant has different needs. The golden rule: check the soil first — if the topsoil is dry but the lower layers are still moist, wait before watering. It's best to water early in the morning or after sunset to reduce evaporation.
. Avoid Direct Sunlight
Intense sun can scorch delicate leaves, so it's wise to place your plants in bright areas that don't receive direct sunlight—like near a window with a sheer curtain or in well-lit corners.
. Ventilation and Moderate Fertilizing
Excess humidity and poor air circulation can lead to root rot and fungal growth. Ensure your space is well-ventilated, and avoid over-fertilizing during heatwaves, as most plants go into a semi-dormant state and don't absorb nutrients effectively.
. Top Heat-Tolerant Houseplants
If you're looking for indoor plants that thrive in summer and bring a refreshing green touch, consider these popular options:
Sansevieria (Snake Plant): Extremely hardy and drought-tolerant.
Zamioculcas (ZZ Plant): Low-maintenance and thrives in low light.
Cacti & Succulents: Love the sun and require minimal watering.
Pothos: Fast-growing and easy to care for.
Aglaonema: Attractive foliage and heat-resistant.
Ficus Lyrata (Fiddle Leaf Fig): Stylish and elegant, prefers moderate light.
. Observe Your Plants Daily
Changes in leaf color, drooping, or unusual spots are signs that something needs adjusting—whether it's watering, lighting, or airflow. Daily observation is the secret to keeping your plants healthy throughout the summer.
. In Summary:
Caring for houseplants in summer doesn't require heavy effort—just awareness and balance. By providing the right mix of water, light, and ventilation—and choosing heat-tolerant varieties—you can enjoy a lush indoor garden all season long

Coffee Corner: Circle
Rana Atef Circle. A fantastic but enigmatic word. It is more than the round-and-round shape you see in front of your eyes. It is a symbol for a lot of good as well as a lot of bad. Inspiration of the Spirit grounded the symbolism of the circle in ancient and Native American cultures. Circle is the sun. Circle is the moon. Circle is the seasons. Circle is four directions. Circle is healing. Circle is life. Is it truly a circle? Or just a cycle? Kicks off with with a rebirth in the afterlife. Black Elk said, "Everything. The power of the world does done in circles." "The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood. and it is in everything where power moves." Even in psychology, we see circles in many aspects of our lives like wheels and rings. Motion. It can refer to (Community - Unity- Growth- Inclusivity - Wholeness- Connection- Infinity). Even in religions, prayers could be done in circles. A Full circle as Loreena Mckennitt described the Sufi prayers in the mosque, after the dawn, in Ramadan, in Morocco. Now, there is a circulating question in the head? Life is a Circle? Do we live in Circle? ARE WE TRAPPED IN A CIRCLE? These thoughts could be somehow dark. But, it depends on you. You may feel that you are trapped inside your life. You may trap yourself under hundreds of nevers. Circle is a shape. It is a line. You can break it. Now, look around! Look AROUND... LooK How many circles DO YOU SEE? Focus... Circles are not bad.. But YOURS IS.. If you are trapping yourself. Turn the OO.. the circles of OOOOO to open vision. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Coffee Corner is an open space. A window. A soft place. It's for you. Those whose minds won't quiet down, whose thoughts are loud, growing louder. These pieces are not answers, they are mirrors. They are breath. They are the still voice in the room when the world won't stop spinning. I write these words not from a pedestal, but from the same place you are. Awake, wondering, remembering. If you're here, then these thoughts are for you. read more 15 Ludicrous Cosplay Costumes That Will Blow You Away Watch...

Healthy Fruit & Nut Crackers Recipe
Pasant Elzaitony Crackers are a favorite snack for everyone, especially during the summer, when food cravings decrease. Crackers are an easy solution for providing healthy nutrients for adults and children alike. 1/2 cup all purpose flour 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/8 tsp nutmeg 1/8 tsp black pepper 3/4 cup dried fruit, chopped (apricots, figs, dates, raisins, cherries, etc) 3/4 cup nuts or seeds, chopped (pistachios, pecans, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, etc) 2 tsp orange or lemon zest 1 cup milk of choice (we used oat milk, but any kind works) 1/4 cup honey Preheat oven to 350˚F and line two mini loaf pans (~5 1/2' x 3 1/4') or one regular loaf pan (~8 1/2' x 4 1/2') with parchment paper. Add both flours, baking soda, salt, herbs, cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper, dried fruit, nuts and zest to a large mixing bowl. Stir until well combined. Stir in the milk and honey until well combined and no streaks of honey remain. Divide between the 2 mini pans (or just the 1 regular loaf pan). Bake for ~25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Let cool to room temperature, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight. (You can also leave them frozen for up to 3 months, as long as they are tightly wrapped.) Remove from the freezer and preheat oven to 300˚F. Use a serrated knife to slice into 1/8' thick slices. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12 minutes, then flip each cracker over. Bake for another 12 minutes, then check for doneness. They should be golden brown and feel dry to the touch, but they may still look soft due to the fruit. Don't worry - they will crisp up as they dry! If they're not quite golden brown, flip and leave in the oven for another 3-6 minutes. Let cool completely, then enjoy! read more 15 Ludicrous Cosplay Costumes That Will Blow You Away Watch...
