Hoping for some insights into the secret lives of indoor gardeners, I
recently asked some customers and some of my seminar attendees: I was curious because most commercial potting soils are fairly sterile, either lacking much in the way of nutrients that plants need to stay healthy, or they become depleted fairly quickly. That's why it's very important to feed your plants on a regular basis and to transplant them before the soil has no more to give, on an average of every 2 years. In the way of responses, I certainly got what I asked for. People came up with ideas I'd never considered in my wildest dreams. Take a look at the following list. Maybe you'll find a solution (heh, heh) or two...
Do YOU have an unusual way to feed your houseplants? If so, email
them in and I'll add 'em to the list. Remember, houseplants appreciate a little fresh air, too. If the weather is warm enough and it's not too windy, take your plant outside for a "walk." (Mark your calendars: July 27 is "Take Your Plant for a Walk" Day). Mist it well with a spray bottle. The excess water can drip all it wants without harming floors or carpets. If you'd like to learn more about caring for your indoor plants, check out my articles, Simple Houseplant Cleaning Tips and How Houseplants Clean the Air. Happy indoor gardening! |
