Beautify & Expand Houseplants

By Melinda Myers

Keep your houseplants looking their best with a bit of pinching, trimming and cleanup. A few well-placed snips can improve a plant's appearance and create cuttings to start new plants.

Start by removing any dead stems and leaves. Improve the overall beauty of spider plants, dracaenas and palms by trimming away the brown leaf tips caused by fluoride from tap water accumulating in the leaves. Avoid the problem by using rainwater, well water or water treated by reverse osmosis.

Trimming to improve the plant's growth habit and size can provide immediate and long-term benefits. Removing a small or large portion of the stem tip encourages the plant to form more branches and compact growth. When you remove the stem tip you reduce the amount of the growth hormone auxin that promotes upward growth and discourages branching.

Encourage more branching without greatly reducing the plant's size with a soft pinch. Remove just the uppermost portion of the stem where new leaves are developing. Use a hard pinch to remove the tip and several inches of the leafy stem when you want to reduce the overall size and promote fuller growth on leggy plants.

Make a clean cut using sharp micro snips or pruners like Corona's houseplant pruners (coronatools.com). The rust proof, stainless steel blades can cut up to 1/4" in diameter and are shaped to make it easier to cut the intended leaves and stems. Your plant will look better, and the wound will close more quickly.

Avoid leaving stubs and keep the plant looking its best by making cuts above a set of healthy leaves or a node, the place where leaves once grew. Pruning elsewhere distracts from the plant's appearance and the stubs create entryways for insects and disease.

When you finish pinching and pruning, do a bit of cleanup. Use a dry or damp soft cloth to wipe away any dust that accumulates on the leaves. Use a cosmetic brush to clean fuzzy-leaved plants like African violets. Or give your plants a gentle warm shower in the sink or tub. Wrap the pot in a plastic bag if needed to keep soil out of the drain and plumbing. Removing the dust allows more light to reach the leaves for photosynthesis which is essential for plant growth.

Use the trimmings from heirloom and non-patented plants to expand your houseplant collection. It's easy to start new plants from leaf stem cuttings of various houseplants like inch plants, philodendron, pothos, dieffenbachias, dracaenas, and many more. Use a sharp knife, snips or bypass pruners to cut three- to six-inch-long pieces from firm, mature non-woody stems.

Remove the lowest leaf or two from the stem where roots will form. Stick the cutting in a small container filled with vermiculate, perlite or a well-drained potting mix. Loosely cover the potted cutting with a plastic bag left open at the top to increase the humidity around the cutting while it forms roots. Set the container in a bright location out of direct sun for several weeks as the roots develop. Once rooted, pot it up and place it in a space that receives the sunlight it prefers.

You'll be amazed at how a bit of grooming and propagating can perk up a tired indoor garden. Share or trade extra rooted cuttings with family and friends so each of you can grow your indoor garden and memories.

Bipartisan Reforms To Unemployment Comp

Sen. Devlin Robinson (R-37) applauded Gov. Josh Shapiro's signing of a bipartisan agreement that protects Pennsylvania's seasonal workers from looming unemployment compensation (UC) benefit cuts, while also securing long-sought reforms to support victims of domestic violence and strengthen the integrity of the UC system.

As chair of the Senate Labor and Industry Committee, Robinson led the effort to protect seasonal workers from a UC benefit cut by ensuring the final agreement, House Bill 274, would delay the implementation of "quarters averaging," a calculation change that would have significantly reduced benefits for seasonal employees in industries such as construction, landscaping, hospitality, and more. Under the agreement, the cuts – previously set to take effect Jan. 1, 2026 – will now be delayed until Jan. 1, 2029.

"This deal ensures that thousands of seasonal workers won't see sudden and potentially severe cuts to the benefits they rely on between jobs," Robinson said. "Protecting workers while we continue working on long-term UC solutions has been one of my highest priorities, and I'm proud we reached a responsible, bipartisan compromise that the Governor has now signed into law."

The legislation also included language Robinson sponsored in the Senate to protect UC eligibility for victims of domestic violence. Under the bill, individuals who must leave their job or miss work to escape a dangerous domestic violence situation will not be penalized or deemed ineligible for benefits. The bill establishes clear verification options, ensures confidentiality, and requires the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry to expedite claims when safety is at stake.

"No one fleeing abuse should have to choose between their safety and financial stability," Robinson said. "These protections ensure survivors can get help quickly, securely, and without fear of losing the support they need."

House Bill 274 also includes additional UC system improvements, including:

  • Strengthening UC requalification requirements for individuals who previously quit or were fired for cause.

  • Clarifying work-search rules and preventing applicants from intentionally discouraging their own hiring.

The bill passed the Senate with strong bipartisan support earlier this month. After the House voted to concur with the Senate amendments last week, Gov. Shapiro signed the bill into law recently as Act 55 of 2025.

Benefits From Time In Nature

By Melinda Myers

Take a break in nature from the stresses of everyday life and the hectic holiday season. Research has found spending time in nature, conservatories, botanic gardens and other green spaces can have a positive impact on mental and physical health.

Work, school, and other aspects of daily life may have you suffering from a bit of mental fatigue. Surrounding yourself with plants and spending time in green spaces can serve as a distraction and help reduce this fatigue. Being immersed in nature elevates your mood and helps reduce the risk of developing and experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Scientists also found a strong correlation between green space and illnesses in a community. The more green space that's available, the lower the level of disease in a community.

Spending time in gardens and nature is also good for the youngsters in our lives. It helps them develop social, emotional and cognitive skills. "Green Time" can also reduce symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) in children and can act as an effective supplement to traditional medicinal and behavioral treatments.

Finding access to nature can be challenging in some locations and at certain times of the year when harsh weather tends to keep us indoors. Parks, botanic gardens and conservatories help improve access to nature.

Many botanical gardens and parks host year-round events encouraging everyone to get outside, move and enjoy nature. You will find yoga classes, walking groups, gardening classes and nature walks offered at many of these public green spaces. Encourage youngsters in your life to join you in nature and participate in youth-focused activities.

Conservatories provide year-round access no matter the weather. Collections of plants are housed under glass, providing opportunities to immerse yourself in greenery.

The Mitchell Park Domes is a great example of providing the public with green space. In its original charter Milwaukee County stated: "Let us provide for the public the ultimate in experiencing nature in the city. Plant life of many kinds must be sustained throughout all seasons…" The Conservatory continues inspiring people through plants with its permanent collection of over 1,800 plant species from around the globe. These are housed in three domes, featuring desert, tropical and temperate zone plants. Visitors not only can immerse themselves in greenery but can experience the climate and vegetation of various locations around the world. This along with the changing displays in the floral dome encourages year-round visits.

Take time now and all year to experience the benefits of green space. Add a few indoor plants to your home. You will enjoy the added greenery while elevating your mood. Walk in a nearby park or botanic garden and if you are near a conservatory, make this a routine part of your schedule.

Make it easy and affordable to visit botanic gardens and conservatories in your community and around the country. Consider becoming a member. You'll help support their mission and are likely to visit more often and take advantage of all they have to offer.

No matter where you live, becoming a member of the Milwaukee Domes Alliance, provides free access to over 360 other botanical gardens and conservatories across the country, including the Mitchell Park Domes. It's a great way to save money as you explore other gardens and conservatories across the country.

Take a break today and enjoy the many benefits that connecting with nature provides. Once refreshed you will be better able to tackle the daily demands and handle the stresses of everyday life.

Meuser Supports PA Rural Health Credit

Congressman Dan Meuser (PA-09) released the following statement after the Trump Administration and CMS awarded $193 million to Pennsylvania from the Rural Health Transformation Fund.

Congressman Meuser strongly advocated for and voted in favor of the Working Families Tax Cut package which created this fund that will transform healthcare across rural Pennsylvania.

"Pennsylvania will be receiving $193 million this year through the Rural Transformation Fund, an investment that will expand access to care and strengthen workforce training across the Commonwealth," said Rep. Meuser.

Meuser continued, "My Republican colleagues and I supported the creation of this fund to confront the growing healthcare challenges facing rural communities across the United States. It's unfortunate that every single Democrat in Congress, including every Democrat from Pennsylvania, voted against creating this fund. In recent years, rural Pennsylvanians have experienced a steady decline in access to essential healthcare services, and this funding is a critical step toward reversing that trend."

About the Rural Health Transformation Fund:

Congress created the $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Fund through the Working Families Tax Cut. This funding, which represents the largest direct federal investment in rural healthcare in American history, will be distributed over the next five years to help states improve healthcare access and outcomes in rural communities.

Create Winning Perennials

By Melinda Myers

When creating a new garden or looking for new additions, check out the Perennial Plants of the Year (PPOY). Selected by members of the Perennial Plant Association, winners must be suited to a wide range of climate conditions, low maintenance, and provide multiple seasons of interest.

The 2026 PPOY is Blackhawks big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii 'Blackhawks'), a cultivar of one of the dominant grasses of the North American tallgrass prairies. Its smaller stature makes it easier for most gardeners to include in home landscapes. It grows five feet tall and two feet wide as opposed to the species that can grow up to eight feet tall and readily self-seed, dominating a garden.

Combine Blackhawks big bluestem grass with other early and late season perennials in natural and cottage-style gardens. Watch as the foliage emerges dark green in the spring then develops red tips in summer and ends the season with deep purple leaves and stems. Its three-parted flower tops the plant in late summer, providing additional texture and motion in the garden.

Grow Blackhawks in full sun with well-drained soil. It is hardy in zones three to nine and drought tolerant once established. Just cut it back in late winter or early spring and watch as new growth emerges.

This grass combines nicely with past winning perennials. The Arkansas bluestar (Amsonia hubrichtii), a 2011 winner, is still popular thanks to its fine foliage that turns amber in the fall. This, along with its light blue, star-shaped flowers that appear in late spring to early summer, provide season long beauty. It is hardy in zones four to nine, drought tolerant once established and the deer tend to leave it be.

Little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) was selected as the 2022 Perennial Plant of the Year. This North American native grass adds beauty, texture and motion to the landscape. Grow the species or one of the cultivars like Jazz, The Blues, Standing Ovation or Blue Heaven that is best suited to your growing region.

Calamint (Calamintha nepeta nepeta), the 2021 winner, is a long-blooming, drought-tolerant perennial. Its small white flowers cover the plant summer through fall, attracting bees and other pollinators while deer tend to leave it alone. It works well with ornamental and native grasses and other perennials in meadow, natural or more formal gardens.

For those shadier spots in your landscape consider Aralia 'Sun King'. It grows best in full to part shade where the bold foliage combines nicely with other shade-loving perennials. A bit of sun increases the yellow in the leaves while they are more chartreuse colored in shadier spots.

Variegated Solomon's Seal (Polygonatum odoratum var. pluriflorum 'Variegatum') is another shade-tolerant PPOY. The upright arching stems, subtle leaf variegation and yellow fall color make it a welcome addition to any shade garden. Its fragrant white flowers appear in late spring and dangle from the stems and are followed by bluish-black berries in fall.

Consider one or more of the Perennial Plants of the Year as you create your 2026 plant list. Then watch for future winners suited to your garden design.

Resolution Proclaims Nuclear Energy Day

State Senator John Kane (D–Chester/Delaware), co-chair of the bipartisan and bicameral Nuclear Energy Caucus, announced today that he has introduced a resolution officially recognizing December 2, 2025, as World Nuclear Energy Day in Pennsylvania. The resolution highlights the Commonwealth's longstanding leadership in nuclear innovation, clean energy production, and family-sustaining jobs.

Senator Kane introduced the resolution alongside his caucus co-chair, Senator Lynda Schlegel Culver (R–Northumberland/Snyder), underscoring the bipartisan commitment to strengthening Pennsylvania's nuclear energy sector.

"Before my time in public service, I worked as a union plumber at the Limerick plant, and later, as business manager of the Plumbers Union, I sent hundreds of skilled tradespeople into these facilities. I've seen firsthand the pride, expertise, and safety that Pennsylvania workers bring to the nuclear industry. Pennsylvania has always been at the forefront of nuclear innovation and today we operate one of the nation's most reliable, carbon-free nuclear fleets. Pennsylvania's leadership is only growing, and World Nuclear Energy Day is a chance to honor the hardworking folks who keep our plants secure, our grid stable, and our future sustainable."

Pennsylvania is the second-largest producer of nuclear energy in the United States, behind only Illinois. The state's four active nuclear power plants – Beaver Valley, Limerick, Peach Bottom, and Susquehanna – generate nearly 9,500 megawatts of reliable, emission-free power. The upcoming revival of the Crane Clean Energy Center in 2027 will add an additional 837 megawatts to the PJM grid.

"Pennsylvania has a long and proud history of leading the nation in safe, reliable nuclear energy, and our communities continue to benefit from the jobs, innovation, and economic strength this industry provides," said Senator Culver. Recognizing World Nuclear Energy Day is an opportunity to highlight the skilled workers, engineers, and local partners who keep these facilities running safely every day. Nuclear power is essential not only to maintaining a stable grid, but also to supporting our nation's energy independence. I am grateful for the bipartisan cooperation that allows us to support an energy sector that is vital to our economy and our future."

Representative Rob Matzie praised the partnership advancing nuclear progress in the Commonwealth.

"Nuclear energy is the key to a cleaner, more sustainable, more affordable energy future. Spreading awareness of the benefits of nuclear energy is vital in securing that future. That is why World Nuclear Energy Day is so important. I'm proud to have introduced the companion resolution in the House – HR 372 - along with Rep. Tom Mehaffie. And equally proud to serve as Co-Chair with Rep. Mehaffie and Sens. Kane and Culver of the PA Nuclear Energy Caucus. We will continue, in a bi-partisan fashion, to support nuclear energy as a safe, proven solution to the capacity challenges we face moving forward."

Beyond environmental impact, nuclear energy plays a major role in Pennsylvania's economy. The industry provides approximately 15,900 full-time jobs, contributes $2 billion annually to Pennsylvania's GDP, and generates roughly $70 million in state tax revenue. Nuclear power also prevents more than 37 million metric tons of CO? emissions each year, supporting the Commonwealth's clean air and energy independence goals.

The resolution also acknowledges the increasingly important role nuclear power will play as demand grows for round-the-clock clean electricity – especially from AI systems, data centers, and next-generation industries.

The resolution is expected to receive bipartisan support in the Senate.

Gifts That Keep Giving

By Melinda Myers

Gift the gardeners in your life with tools that are sure to make them smile as they put them to work throughout the coming years. No matter your budget, you are sure to find the perfect gift for your favorite gardener.

Help gardeners track the weather and rainfall in their backyard. You can find decorative and functional low- and high-tech thermometers in a wide range of prices. Consider giving them a rain gauge to help monitor rainfall so they know when and how much to water.

For the indoor gardener, paint a pot, preferably one with drainage holes, that they can use to display their favorite plant. If your budget allows, add potting mix and a plant or gift certificate so they can select a new or favorite plant from the garden center. Include a pair of snips to help them trim, groom and keep their indoor plants looking their best.

Purchase a fun watering can or decorate one with decoupage. This is a fun gift for kids and adults to make for family and teachers. Just select a plastic or metal watering can, gather pictures, and secure and seal them to the watering can with a suitable material found at craft stores.

Dress up your favorite gardener's gear with colorful tools like the British Meadow Pruner & Holster Set endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society. The pruners have a comfort grip and are perfect for cutting small branches and stems and the floral holster will keep them handy when gardening. This makes a great gift for gardeners that appreciate aesthetics as well as quality tools.

And what gardener doesn't need a good bypass hand pruner with two sharp blades to make clean cuts. Look for one with a large ¾" cutting capacity if your gardener does extensive pruning. Select one with narrow, comfortable nonslip grips like those on the ClassicCUT® Bypass Pruner for those with small- to medium-sized hands. Stuff one in their stocking, combine it with a new garden book, or wrap it up as it makes a great gift on its own.

Don't forget the youngsters on your list. Research shows children exposed to the outdoors and gardening are more focused, do better in school, and have less severe ADHD symptoms. Girls raised in a landscaped environment are more confident and less subject to peer pressure. By encouraging them to garden you might be helping them acquire a lifelong skill and get help planning, planting and tending the garden.

Giving them their own kid-sized garden gear (coronatools.com) can make gardening more fun and easier as they garden by your side or in their own garden plot or container. Look for tools designed to fit children's hands like Corona's kids 3-piece garden tool set that has everything a young gardener needs to dig, explore, plant and tend their garden. A kid-sized wheelbarrow is just the right size for hauling plants, soil and mulch.

Don't let the hustle of the holiday season put a damper on your gift giving. Keep in mind this act of kindness generates happiness in ourselves and others.

Yaw Comments On Call To Reform PJM

Sen. Gene Yaw (R-23) issued the following statement on his opinion of Gov. Shapiro's misguided calls to reform PJM.

"Yesterday's announcement by Gov. Josh Shapiro on PJM's most recent auction results may sound impressive, but it fails to address the real crisis facing Pennsylvania ratepayers. The narrative that this settlement 'saved' consumers billions is misleading. What it did was temporarily cap prices in a system that's failing because of a fundamental lack of reliable energy supply.

"PJM doesn't generate electricity. It doesn't own power plants or transmission lines. PJM takes electricity generated by over 1400 generation sources, including wind and solar, and directs that electricity to the right place at the right time and in the correct amount. It's a traffic controller for the grid, not the driver of energy costs. The real reason electricity prices are rising is because we're not producing enough of it. Over the past decade, aggressive renewable mandates have forced the premature retirement of dependable baseload generation without replacing it with sufficient new baseload generation capacity. That's not PJM's fault. That's a policy failure.

"Currently, 67,000 MW of renewable energy projects have been through the PJM approval process but are sitting undeveloped on the sidelines. Why? The answer is simple. Intermittent and limited duration electricity is not what is demanded to serve people's needs and operate a full-time economy. Without new dispatchable generation, ratepayers will continue to face uncertainty and higher costs. Regulatory reshuffling won't fix this. We need to build, not blame.

"Making PJM the boogeyman is good short-term politics. Artificially and temporarily capping electric rates stifles new generation and sends the message: don't build in the PJM grid. That is disastrous for Pennsylvanians in the long term. As I've said before, if Pennsylvania is serious about protecting consumers, we must stop pointing fingers and start investing in real solutions."
