| House Plants | |
| Lisa Warmoth from United States asks: | My plants stay on my patio until late fall at which time I bring them into my living room and dining room. Does it matter what kind of indoor light I use as long as it is flourescent? Can I use regular 60 watt compact flourescent light bulbs for my plants in the winter time to replace the sunlight? |
| Gina from US asks: | I have several different house plants, ranging from Pathos to Arrowheads. I have problems with leaves either turning yellow and falling or all the leaf ends turn brown. Please let me know what`s going on. Thx a bunch! :) |
| Green Zeus says : | You might experiment by moving them to different windows. Some plants can`t take the sun coming thru the window because heat buildup on the glass just cooks the leaves. Many houseplants want light but not that direct sun for hours on end. It also benefits plants to mist their leaves. Sometimes, they perk right up after this. If they`re not too huge, try moving them outside during a thunderstorm. The nitrogen and soft water (instead of clorinated tap water) of a rain shower really benefits house plants. |
| debbie porter-wood from canada asks: | do all houseplants like a little drink of epsom salt water |
| DR Dub says : | Don`t listen to the supposed specialist, Epsom salt as many people know it is not actually salt it is magnesium sulfate which is good for flower development. |
| Yourgarden Specialist Marian says : | Only salt-tolerant species (houseplants) |
