FAQ
Can I grow fruit tree in a pot?
Yes! If you have limited space, fruit trees can be grown indoors. Make sure your pot is drained to prevent the tree from getting rotted by excess moisture. The pot should be deep enough to hold the rootball. This will protect the tree from being stressed.
When should you plant herbs?
Plant herbs in spring when the soil temperatures are 55 degrees Fahrenheit. For best results, plant them in full sunlight. To grow basil indoors you need to place the seedlings inside pots that have been filled with potting soil. Once they start sprouting leaves, keep them out from direct sunlight. When the plants have started to grow, transfer them into bright indirect sunlight. After three weeks, transplant the plants to individual containers. Water them frequently.
What length of time can I keep an indoor flower alive?
Indoor plants can live for many years. To ensure new growth, it's important that you repot indoor plants every few years. Repotting is simple. Remove the old soil and place fresh compost.
What is the most important thing to do before you start a new garden?
The first thing you should do when starting a new garden is prepare the soil. This includes adding organic material such as composted horse manure, grass clippings or leaves, straw and the like, which provides plant nutrients. Next, plant seeds or seedlings into prepared holes. Then, water well.
What vegetables are good to grow together and what are the best?
Tomatoes and peppers can be grown together because they prefer similar soil conditions. They can complement each other because tomatoes require heat to mature, and peppers require lower temperatures for their optimal flavor. If you want to try growing them together, start seeds indoors about six weeks before planting them. Once the weather gets warmer, transplant your pepper and tomato plants outdoors.
What seeds should be started indoors?
A tomato seed is the best seed to start indoors. Tomatoes grow quickly and bear good fruit all year. You should be cautious when putting tomatoes into pots. The soil could dry out if you plant too early. This could lead to root rot. You should also be aware of diseases like bacterial Wilt that can quickly kill your plants.
