Houseplants

I had a comment on one of my other blogs today that prompted me to write this post. There are many people who have a hard time growing most houseplants. They either over-water them or they under-water them. My best tip for houseplants is to stick your finger into the dirt up to your first knuckle, if you feel moisture, do not water. If it feels dry, give it just enough water until the water begins to run out of the bottom holes into the water catcher.  That’s another point I would like to make, before you ever put your plants into a pot, make sure that you have drainage holes and put rocks over those holes so the dirt does not run out or compact and stop it up. Happy Gardening!
