I also have a cute money tree and this other plant that has a white flower but I want to fill the inside of our apartment with lots and lots of gorgeous plants!
Easy care house plants? I want to get more but what else besides pothos?
I have a Heart Leaf Philodendron it is part of a plant that was given to may aunt over 50 years ago. The plant I have was my mothers cutting, it is at least 20 years old. I am going to give a cutting to my daughter, that will make it three generations, a heirloom plant.
Good luck which ever one you choose.
Below is a sites with other plants that is also easy to grow.

Reply:I recently got hooked on Clivia, Plumeria and Adenium . If I can't kill them they have to be tough. And beautiful flowers indoors without a lot of extra lighting. eBay is a good source, seeds and seedlings are cheap but mature plants can sell for thousands of dollars. Some expensive ones are the result of hundreds of years of breeding others show up out of sheer luck, maybe we'll get lucky. RScott
Reply:I have a sheffelera ?sp. and a rubber plant both which I have found to be easy to grow and don't require alot of direct light.
Reply:Philodendrons are practically un-killable and are very pretty.
Peace lilies are nice too.

What are the names of house plants that produce oxygen?
What are the names of indoor plants that expell the most oxygen in the air?
What are the names of house plants that produce oxygen?
Plants with large leaf surface areas and that can take a lot of sun will make more O2 than say a shade plant. So pick any houseplant you like that takes full sun and has large leaves.
Reply:all plants produce oxygen. the amount of oxygen expelled from a plant depends on the amount of photosynisist taking place. Plants that stay green all the time produce more oxygen than plants that don't stay green.

If I grab and shake my house plants, will that help them grow?
Just curious. The plants are tropical and don't get the excitement of the storms like regular wild plants. I thought about shaking them for a few seconds each day and wondering if that would help them grow better. What do you think?
If I grab and shake my house plants, will that help them grow?
I shake my trees and to help remove dead leaves,not hard but a little. but I think doing it every day may stress out your plant. furthermore you may make it go in to shock and it could possibly die. add plant food to encourage new growth.
Reply:ummm no. that's bad for plants. it rips their roots
Reply:I think that is a waste of time, and it will hurts the stems, or the roots of the plants.
If you want the plants to grow faster, maybe you shall spend some time and play some music instruments every day. or you should play some soft music radio for those plants. At least that is what I heard, like in the farm, people used to play music while they were milking the cow, or watering things. the scientists say the plants have a sense of hearing...
Reply:Tropical plants live in SPITE of storms, not because of them. Just take good care of them, and don't EAT any more of them - it's clearly affecting your thinking processes.
Reply:yes about as much a someone shacking you
Reply:I am going to call the authorities for attempted plant assault .
Reply:might not be a bad idea...it would also shift the soil a bit allowing for more spaces to open up where the roots can grow. I have heard (and seen) that when you put a bit of stress (like binding some of their branches down) on plants it'll make them work harder to stay alive then when you remove the stress it'll flourish!
Reply:actually, you're on to something.... but a little more gently, please..... touch, move the branches, pick off bad leaves, cause some movement of the plant DOES actually do good for it.... just like seedlings need the movement of air to grow strong enuff to be able to go outside and survive the winds, and how plants in their native environment brush against each other when the wind blows... and how a young tree is to be left enuff room in it's stakes to be able to move with the wind so it's trunk grows strong..... I inspect my garden about daily and even outside, will run my hands over the leaves and branches to hopefully 'stimulate them' as if another plant was beside them...... just don't shake the pot and the roots!!.... you are on your way to being a good gardener!!.....
Reply:uhmmm no that has about as much chance of making them grow as when I threatened mine to vacuum them up if they didn't grow.
They ended up in the vacuum...
**But seriously don't shake them it's really bad for there root systems. If they're not growing correctly look them up on the internet and you should find how to take care of them properly.
Reply:After shaking a plant, you MUST slap it and throw it to the ground. If this doesn't perk it up , kick it.

What home-made fertilizer will most house plants benefit from?
I have a coleus plant, a cactus, ficus, bamboo, and some others which I don't know the name of... and I would like them to grow better. I remember reading somewhere that just by putting skins of vegetables/fruits in certain plants' soil serves as a good fertilizer, though I'm not sure if that's true and what's the best way to do it. If any of you know any good tips for easy to implement home made fertilizers, please share.
What home-made fertilizer will most house plants benefit from?
Used tea leaves, yes, also used coffee grounds. Crushed egg shells are good too. If you have a fish tank, when you clean it, put the yucky water into old milk jugs and then water with it, also put the dirtied fish stones on top of your houseplant soil and more good fish fertilizer will go into the soil as you water regularly.
Reply:used tea leaves (strained) are a good source of nutrients for all plants. I 've tried this and it has done wonders for my garden.
Reply:I have a excellent mixture which I use on all my plants in or outdoor, but as you know cactus need very little moisture and I will NOT use this mixture for my cacti as it pobably will make them grow stringy.
1 tsp Epsom salts
1 tsp baking powder
1 Tblspn Saltpetre
1 Tblspn Scrubbs Amonia
Mix with 5 litres of water and fertilize every second week as you would use any other commercial fertilizer, the results are stunning...Good luck !!
Reply:Manure Tea.
Get some horse, cow or chicken manure [fresh or not]. Place inside a
cloth bag [old pillow case, perhaps]. Place the bag inside a pail of
water [I use 5 gal bucket]. The manure will steep [a day or 2], water will turn a
shade of brown and it becomes an excellent fertilizer.
NOTE: Chicken manure is strongest/very strong; if using it, your plants will not need as much and you may have to be careful not to give them too much.

Is it safe to spray house plants with soapy water to kill soil gnats?
I have a purple heart, spider plant, and Swedish ivy, all of which are outdoors and recently, they have become infested with soil gnats. I have heard that you can kill them by spraying soapy water on them but I am afraid of killing my plants. Any suggestions?
Is it safe to spray house plants with soapy water to kill soil gnats?
yes, just spray the plant with water 1/2 hour later then repeat with soap then water 3 days later
Reply:Soapy water is effective and mostly safe.
Try a google-soapywater/houseplants. Years ago there was a guy on pbs that used a lot of soapy water on plants but I can't remember his name.
