| Lighting for Indoor Plants |
| Houseplants need more light than you think. But
you don't have to buy special lights for them. Group them around a
table with an ordinary lamp on . Let the plants soak up the light 16
hours a day. |
 |
Got light? Hold your hand over the plant. See a
shadow? If not, the plant is squinting in the dark. Move it
closer to a window. Don't let it touch the window, though. Cold
windows can give leaves frostbite; hot glass can sizzle a leaf tip.
Growing Straight
Keep indoor plants growing straight by frequently
rotating the pots about a quarter turn so they absorb the sunlight
equally. Plants lean toward the strongest light source.
|
 |
POTTING
MIX
Please don't ever use garden dirt.
Use good quality potting soil with organic fertilizer mixed in. If the
soil is very find, add up to 30 percent more perlite. Plastic
pots are best for growing plants under lights. Plastic retains moisture better and
is lighter to move than clay pots. Start the plants in 4" pots. Transplant
when the plants become root bound. Increase the size of the pot until
the plant is as large as you want. |
|
|
OVER-WATERING
Over-watering causes almost
90% of all plant problems. Water the plants at
the first sign of
wilting. Use water at room temperature. If you have chlorine in
you water set it out over night. Use houseplant fertilizer. the amount
recommended on the label, once a week or when needed.
HUMIDITY
can be a problem
under lights. Mist plant with fine spray from a
plant mister when needed. Set pots in a pebble -and water-filled
tray. Don't let water reach the pots. Evaporation will raise the
humidity. |

|
A BASKET FULL OF EDIBLES
Most herbs and vegetables
do well, and look great in hanging baskets
indoors or outdoors. Try mints, oregano, thyme, marjoram. Suppersweet
100 hybrid tomatoes, squash, and cucumbers. Hang the baskets on small
link chains, so you can move the baskets up and down as the plant grows.
It makes it easy to take the baskets down to water and repot.
What's great is hanging baskets do not take up floor space, so you can
put pot plants underneath them. |
