FAQ

How long can an indoor plant be kept alive?

Indoor plants can survive for several years. To promote new growth, it is essential to repot your indoor plants every few month. Repotting is easy. All you have to do is remove the soil and put in fresh compost.


How big is a vegetable gardening space?

A good rule is that 1 square foot of soil needs 1/2 pound. You will need 100 pounds of seed if your area is 10 feet by 10 foot (3 meters by 3 metres).


What amount of sunlight does a plant require?

It depends on which plant it is. Some plants need 12 hours of direct sun per day. Others prefer 8 hours in indirect sunlight. Most vegetables need at least 10 hours of direct sunlight per 24-hour time period.


What is a planting schedule?

A planting calendar is a list of plants that should be planted at different times throughout the year. The goal of a planting calendar is to maximize plant growth and minimize stress. For example, early spring crops like lettuce, spinach, and peas should be sown after the last frost date. Cucumbers, squash, and spring beans are later crops. The fall crops include potatoes and carrots.

Yes! Yes! Make sure your pot is drained to prevent the tree from getting rotted by excess moisture. Also ensure that the pot is large enough to accommodate the root ball. This will stop the tree becoming stressed.
