FAQ
What vegetables do you recommend growing together?
The combination of tomatoes and peppers is great because they love the same temperatures and soil conditions. 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 warms up, transplant the tomato and pepper plants outdoors.
How long can I keep an indoor plant 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.
Can I grow fruit tree in a pot?
Yes! If space is limited, you can grow fruit trees in pots. To prevent tree rot, make sure the pot has drainage holes. Make sure the pot is deep enough for the root ball to be held. This will prevent the tree from being stressed.
When to plant flowers?
Planting flowers in spring is easier when the temperature is lower and the soil remains moist. Planting flowers should be done after the first frost if you live in a cold climate. The ideal temperature for growing plants indoors is around 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
