FAQ
How often should my indoor plants be watered?
Indoor plants require watering at least once a day. Watering helps maintain humidity levels inside the house. Humidity is essential for healthy plants.
Which type of lighting is best for indoor plants?
Because they emit less heat than traditional incandescent bulbs, Florescent lights are ideal for indoor plant growth. They provide constant lighting that doesn't flicker or dimm. Both regular and compact fluorescent fluorescent bulbs are available. CFLs can use up to 75% more energy than traditional bulbs.
What vegetables are good to grow together and what are the best?
Tomatoes and peppers can be grown together because they prefer similar soil conditions. They work well together as tomatoes need heat to ripen and peppers need lower 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 To
2023 Planting calendar: When to plant vegetables
Planting vegetables at a soil temperature between 50 and 70 degrees F is the best time. Plants that are left too long can become stressed and produce lower yields.
The average time it takes for seeds to germinate is four weeks. After the seeds have been planted, they need to be exposed to sunlight for six hours each day. Additional water should be provided for five inches each week.
Vegetable crops are most productive in the summer. There are exceptions. For instance, tomatoes are good all year.
If you live in a cold climate, you will have to protect your plants from frost. Use straw bales or plastic mulch to cover your plants.
You can also purchase heatmats to keep the ground heated. These mats are placed under the plants and covered with soil.
Keep weeds under control by using a weeding tool or hoe. A good way to get rid of weeds is to cut them at their base.
Add compost to your planting hole to encourage healthy root systems. Compost can retain moisture and provide nutrients.
The soil should be kept moist, but not saturated. Water deeply once a week.
Soak all the roots with water. Afterward, let the excess water drain back into the ground.
Avoid overwatering. Overwatering encourages disease and fungus growth.
Fertilize early in the season. Fertilizing too early can result in stunting and lower fruit production. Wait for the plants to start producing flowers.
Remove any damaged or missing parts from your crop when you are done harvesting it. You can risk rotting if you harvest too quickly.
Harvest the fruit when they are fully ripe. Take out the stems and place the fruit in a cool, dry place.
You can store the picked vegetables immediately in the fridge
