FAQ
How long can an indoor plant be kept alive?
Indoor plants can survive for many years. To ensure new growth, it's important that you repot indoor plants every few years. Repotting is simple. Just remove the old soil, and then add fresh compost.
When to plant flowers?
When the weather is milder and the soil has a good moisture content, spring is the best time to plant flowers. If you live outside of a warm climate, it is best not to plant flowers until the first frost. The ideal temperature for indoor plants is around 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
How much space do vegetable gardens need?
A good rule is that 1 square foot of soil needs 1/2 pound. So if you have an area of 10 feet by 10 feet (3 meters by 3 meters), you'll need 100 pounds of seeds.

Protecting your plants from frost is necessary if you live somewhere cold. Cover the plants with row cover fabric, plastic mulch, or straw bales.
You can also buy heat mats that keep the ground warm. These mats can be placed underneath the plants and covered with soil.
Keep weeds under control by using a weeding tool or hoe. You can get rid of weeds by cutting them at their base.
Compost can be added to your planting hole in order to stimulate healthy root system growth. Compost is a good way to retain water and provide nutrients.
Make sure the soil is not too dry. Water deeply once every week.
Soak all the roots with water. Let the water run off the roots and then let it drain into the ground.
Avoid overwatering. Overwatering can lead to disease and fungus.
Fertilize late in the season. Fertilizing too soon can lead to stunting and poor fruit production. Wait until the plants start to produce flowers.
Removing any damaged crops after harvest is a good idea. Too soon harvesting can lead to rotting.
Harvest when the fruits are fully ripe. You can remove the stems from the fruits and keep them in a cool place.
