Frequently
Asked Questions
People often gather to ask the following:
"Why can't I just put some bug poison on
my house plants?"
Because it kills a lot more than just the bugs.
Your plants depend upon thousands of microorganisms
to convert the nutrients that are in the soil into
a form that the plant can absorb. Poisons not only
kill the bugs, they also leave residues behind that
react with other chemicals in the soil that can bind
up the fertilizers you apply so that the plant can't
use them.
"What's the best way to water?"
It depends. It always depends. Plants need different
light, watering schedules, aeration, feeding, seasonal
hardening and other interactions to be vibrant. Don't
forget you have brought the plants inside and left
behind the whole outside ecosystem. Don't be surprised
that replacing that system involves a little work
and some guidance.
To more specifically answer your question, check
the amount of water in the soil before you add
more. Use a medium that allows proper drainage. Adjust
frequency to the particular plant you are trying
to grow.
What's with all these lights?
Well, if we could capture the sun in a bottle we
would. But until someone does that, these are the
next best thing. Sunlight is a complex spectrum of
light waves and frequencies that the lights attempt
to duplicate. Plants differ in their light
requirements.
