Plants for use inside the house or office can be grown organically. Plants not only have far fewer problems under the natural program, but they also provide a benefit other than just looking nice and softening spaces. They also help clean the air.<\/p>\n
Potting soil for interior plants should be the same used for outdoor potted plants. The two best mulches for potted plants are shredded cedar and lava gravel.<\/p>\n
The fertilizer program is simple. In fact, the two most common mistakes made on house plants is too much water and too much fertilizer. Adding a mild organic fertilizer once a year in the spring is usually plenty. Compost, earthworm castings or compost tea along with a one time application of lava sand is all I use. Use about \u00bc\u201d of lava sand and gently work in.<\/p>\n
