Do you have a green thumb? Well, I don’t, and I have had to learn from experience. Perhaps it is a genetic problem, because my mother wasn’t much of a planter either. Everything she planted almost always died. The only thing she could keep alive was her “mother tongue” plant, which for those of you who know, lives even under the most difficult circumstances.You can find some great house support resources through the forums at Home Tips plus where people just you like you are sharing tips and tricks on how to make their gardens and plants better.
So, what do plants need? Sunlight, a good source of nutrients from its soil, and of course water. Each plant’s needs in these areas are different of course. For example you would not want to give a cactus too much water (such as flooding it everyday). Something like a cactus should be watered maybe once a week since it is made specifically to survive in a desert environment.
In order to provide the right sunlight, many people chose to build a nice greenhouse. But, for those of you who may not be able to afford a nice greenhouse for your plants, a great second choice might be some window planters. Window Box Planters are a great way to have your plants get great sunlight, and yet they will be right next to the house so that you can just open the window, lean outside and water them, or cut off what you need (such as a flower, or if they are herbs, you can cut some of the plant off for cooking).
