#ProPlantTips for Care:
Grow these flowering ornamental shrubs in full sun for the most flowers and strongest growth. Water regularly during the first season to get the roots established, then extend the period between watering during the second season to encourage deep root development. Plum Magic Crape Myrtle responds well to mulching, applying a 3 to 4-inch deep layer, extending 3 feet outside the canopy to help conserve water and keep roots cool in the hot summer.
All Crape Myrtles flowers on new wood. This is great, as it means that even heavy pruning in late winter or early spring will not affect this season's flowers. Prune to shape at that time, or just to remove twiggy growth to allow good air circulation into the canopy. Deadhead any spent flower clusters as they fade to encourage more blooms during the active growing season.
In Zone 6, this versatile plant will behave as a perennial in the ground and regrow from the roots in the spring. Place a layer of straw around the crown of the plant in the winter to ensure it returns, even in the coldest years. In spring, simply trim off any old winter-damaged wood and prepare for new growth.

Reviews for "Tarot of the Night: Unlocking the Magick of Midnight Magic Tarot"
1. Samantha - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "Midnight Magic Tarot". The artwork just didn't appeal to me at all. The colors were dull and the illustrations lacked detail. I found it difficult to connect with the cards and found the symbolism to be confusing. The guidebook didn't provide enough clarity either. Overall, I felt like this deck was lacking in both aesthetic beauty and intuitive guidance. I wouldn't recommend it.
2. Jack - 1/5 - I regret purchasing the "Midnight Magic Tarot". The cards were flimsy and cheaply made, and the edges were already starting to fray after just a few uses. The design of the cards also seemed too busy, making it hard to focus and interpret the readings. Additionally, the guidebook felt rushed and didn't offer enough depth or insights into the meanings of the cards. Save your money and invest in a higher quality deck instead.
3. Emily - 2/5 - "Midnight Magic Tarot" was a letdown for me. The artwork, while unique, didn't resonate with my personal tastes. I found the style to be too abstract and the color palette didn't evoke the mystical atmosphere I was hoping for. The guidebook provided some basic interpretations, but I felt like it lacked the depth and nuances that I prefer in tarot decks. It just didn't capture my imagination or offer the intuitive experience I was looking for.
4. Liam - 3/5 - While "Midnight Magic Tarot" had some interesting elements, I found it to be inconsistent in terms of symbolism. Some cards had clear imagery and symbolism, while others felt completely abstract and confusing. The quality of the cards and guidebook was decent, but I just wish there was more coherence in the artwork and meanings. It felt like a missed opportunity to create a truly captivating and insightful deck. I would recommend it to those who enjoy abstract art, but it wasn't my cup of tea.
5. Sarah - 2/5 - I found "Midnight Magic Tarot" to be a bit underwhelming. The artwork was indeed unique, but it felt too chaotic and busy for my taste. I prefer decks that have a sense of harmony and balance in their design. Additionally, some of the cards had unclear symbolism, making it difficult to interpret them accurately. The guidebook provided some helpful explanations, but overall, I didn't feel a strong connection with this deck. I'll be sticking to my other trusted tarot decks instead.
