FAQ

What is the maximum time I can keep an indoor plant alive for?

Indoor plants can live for many years. To encourage new growth, it is important to repot your indoor plant every few months. Repotting is easy. All you have to do is remove the soil and put in fresh compost.


Can I grow fruit trees inside pots?

Yes! Fruit trees can be grown in pots if you're short on space. Your pot should have drainage holes to ensure that the tree doesn't get rotted by excess moisture. Also, ensure the pot is deep enough to hold the root ball. This will protect the tree from being stressed.


What vegetables can you grow together?

It is possible to grow tomatoes and peppers together, as they like the same soil conditions and temperatures. They complement each other well since tomatoes need heat to ripen while peppers require cooler temperatures for optimal flavor. Start seeds indoors approximately six weeks prior to planting. Once the weather cools down, transplant the pepper or tomato plants outdoors.


What month is best for starting a vegetable or fruit garden?

It is best to plant vegetables between April and June. This is when the soil is warmest and plants grow fastest. If you live somewhere cold, it is best to wait until July or august.
