i was watching some commercial on late t.v. The commercial was trying to sell this item that grows plants and flowers in your house all year around. I guess you plug it into the wall and follow the directions. I am not sure what it is called and i would like to get a few if i could. Anyone know what the name of the item is called?
What is the item called on t.v. that you can grow plants in your house all year round?

Has anyone used garlic powder to stop mold growing in house plants?
Or, any suggestions on stopping the mold from growing. I live in a very cool, humid enviroment, so things don't get a chance to dry out. Thanks
Has anyone used garlic powder to stop mold growing in house plants?
thats a thought, but try kelp--ground kelp--mix it up with water (to the color of light tea) then spray it on--it worked for me-- and if that dont work get some sort of strong light and shine it on the plant (i light that procuduces a lot heat) that might help
Reply:did it work?
also, this is somthing that really works, buy and ozone machine (their expensive) and it will kill mold and it doesnt come back. (ozone kills bacteria and mold 1000 times faster than bleach) Report Abuse
Reply:No but if you have a home depot near you. go to the inpesticide/fertilizer section and you will find a systemic for plant mold that will work for plant mold. there will be other products but request a systemic if they have one.

What can i do for keep my cats from potting in my large tropical house plants?
I had the same problem. I did the fabric and aluminum foil thing, and that didn't work. The toothpicks either. She pulled them out.
It was then suggested Cayenne Pepper sprinkled on the soil or lemon peels. I did the pepper and after a week she forgot all about the plants. It's been months now and it's still a go. Good luck.

Get soft screening and put in inside the top of the dirt. Then you can still water it and the cat cant get in it

Reply:put the torpical plats outside or in another room where your cat wont find.
Reply:Well, you can buy a cat deterrent spray from a home improvement center. Or you can sprinkle a mixture of black pepper and cayenne pepper in your plants. (That's the two main, and perhaps only, ingredients.) You will need to repeat this every now and then - watering washes it into the soil over time. Another option is to get a small spray bottle and give the cat a warning shot when it gets near the plants. I would use both in combination.
Reply:sprinkle pepper in dirt and even on leaves they'll leave it alone
Reply:Cover the dirt with something like a cloth or piece of plastic.
Reply:orange or lemon peels work - cats dont like citrus
Reply:SPRAY BOTTLE ALWAYS WORKS. I HAVE ABOUT 4 AROUND THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW FOR MY 4 MONTH OLD KITTY. HE JUMPS UP ON THE COUNTERS AND DINING TABLES. I'M TRYING TO BREAK HIM OF THOSE HABITS.
Reply:moth balls. take them out before you water, then replace 'em. truly works.
Reply:You can try covering the tops with saran wrap for awhile.
Reply:Cats hate stuff sticking out of the soil. Pine cones or something like that will do the trick.
Reply:stick tooth picks all over in the soil with about 1/2 inch sticking up above the soil. they wont be able to use it if they keep getting poked
Reply:The spray bottle is a good idea, it gives em immediate negative reinforcement, but you have to catch em at it.
This looks weird but it works--we stick old soft balls and footballs in the planters then the cat can't stand on them. But visitors always think it looks crazy having old balls in your potted plants.
Reply:Like put a mouse trap there so when it goes there the mouse trap will snap on its foot and the next time it will be scared!
Reply:Cover the soil with rocks. Less painful than the toothpicks for kitty.

How do you keep cats from pooping in your house plants?
I had this problem at one time. Just placed large rocks and bricks in the pots around my plants. The cats couldn't get to the dirt. Problem solved.
GOOD LUCK!!
How do you keep cats from pooping in your house plants?
A few moth balls should do the trick.
Reply:Go out for a walk and pick up lots of nice looking stones, place them all over the earth around your plants and the cats won't be able to go to the loo there. They like nice fresh earth to cover their doings, they won't go near the plants if there are stones there.
Reply:Cats detest the smell of fresh orange peel; if you put some peel around and in your plant pots, it should keep them away. You will have to change the peel regularly however, as it needs to be fresh to work.
Reply:Put moth balls around the dirt of the houseplant.
Reply:have you got a kitty litter tray inside?
Reply:what kind of fertilizer is in with the plants? Sometimes regular potting soil has 'ingredients' that kitty recognizes as "oh, well lookie here! Another kitty litter box"
Reply:I used to work for a plant company that took care of Plants in peoples homes and we found that using cayene pepper worked very well, especially the ones you might use at a pizza place. There are also some sprays that you can buy or go to your nearest petsmart and ask one of the vets there. Black pepper also works because Cats are sniffers.
Reply:come on let's cats happy from it
Reply:I have taken long nails or spikes and stuck them in the dirt upside down. Leave them sticking up enough so they can be seen and interfere with digging but stuck down deep enough so that they are not easily moved by digging paws. Works pretty good most of the time until bad habits are forgotten.
GOOD LUCK!!

I'm looking for a house plants that can live with low light.?
The bigger the plant the better but any suggestions are good.
I'm looking for a house plants that can live with low light.?
Low Light and Big Huh?
Look at Peace Lily (Spathephyllum), there are varieties that can be up to 36" tall. You should also consider Snake Plant (Sansevaria), it can also become tall. If money is no object... look at Rhaphis Palm. Super expensive... but worth it. It can get up to 8 feet or taller in time.
If plants in the 24-36" height are plenty, look also at Chinese Evergreen (Aglonema) and Cast Iron Plant (Aspidistra) and of course a wide array of Philodendron and Pothos.
Good luck-

Reply:Mother-In-Law's Tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata) makes a GREAT houseplant because it's tolerant of just about anything, including dim light, fluctuations of temperature and not enough water. The ambient light in a home or office (from light fixtures) would be sufficient. Mother-In-Law's Tongue is sometimes called Snake Plant. I've seen mature plants whose narrow, spiky leaves have grown quite tall/large.
Another indoor plant that's tolerant of low light conditions is Cast-Iron Plant (Aspidistra elatior). It will get by on just the light from overhead fixtures or lamps -- no sunlight necessary. It can also grow in the same container for many years before it needs transplanting, which is nice. Its dark green, leathery leaves usually range from 12 to 20 inches in length.
Then there's good old Pothos, whose botanical name is Epipremnum pinatum, but it's sold everyone as Pothos. :) We have one that has never seen direct sunlight, and its are thriving on just the ambient light of the rooms. My aunt has about 4 of them, none of which get direct sun and they're doing great as well. Pothos is very easy to care for as well, and roots fast in water if you make cuttings to share. It's available in solid green as well as variegated forms.
And finally, there's Philodendron, which has larger leaves than most houseplants. They prefer medium light (NO direct sunlight; it burns) but will tolerate low light. If light is too low, however, the leaves won't be as large/broad. Philodendrons grow best with soil that's kept evenly moist, but do let it dry a bit between waterings. The plants also are more lush if you mist them, because in the wild they grow in jungles with high humidity. Two species you might look for are Philodendron giganteaum and Philodendron monstera (the latter even makes edible fruit, although very rarely).
Reply:When you shop for plants, look at the plants that are sold indoors. African Violets and polka-dot plants thrive in low light. There are some types of ferns that do very well too.
Reply:Spider plants seem to do well. I have had one in a dorm room for 2 years, and it has done fine. It hardly ever needs to be watered, requires very little light, and they grow to be quite big. You can put them in hanging pots and they look really pretty in corners and such. And, they're fairly inexpensive!
Reply:spider plants, phildendron and aloe vera plants also cactus can live in any condition except cold.
Reply:I do well with Ivy. They really don't take that much care or sunlight in fact my plants burn if I sit them in direct sunlight. The only thing is that the leaves don't get very big. Ivy really will bring out your house.

Reply:Look for plant on the inside of the store with very large leaves. The leaves grow larger in the dark to catch more light for photosynthesis.
Reply:Some ferns are good indoors with low light - but african violets are the prettiest in my opinion with their purple flowers and their velvety green succulent type leaves.
Reply:All ivory plants are good.
Reply:I have an aloe plant that seems to hate sunlight. It turns brown everytime I put it outside in the sun. But it's extremely resiliant, doesn't need much watering, and you can break off a piece and use it on your skin if you need it.
Reply:I bought an "Air Firn" 4 years ago for that very reason, and it was tiny when I brought it home. It is "HUGE" now, and sooooo beautiful! My plant doesn't require a lot of attention, and about once a week I put it in a room for the day to get filtered light. I water it really well once a week, and it has turned out fine. Good luck
Reply:You can get huge philodendrons and they are impossible to kill!! Also, a lot of tropical plants work in low light because they originally grew on the floor of a jungle where light didnt reach.
Just check the care tags on the plants that appeal to you.

My house plants are dying..any tricks to keep them alive?how often to water?
There are so many factors that could be effecting your plant's health.
It could be that the soil doesn't contain the right nutrients for your plant, or that, if you've been giving it plant food, you accidentally gave it too much.
Watering is done in general every 3 days, give or take. If your plant is getting too much water, it will get sick, if your plant isn't getting enough water, it will also get sick, check online to see what your particular plant needs in terms of hydration.
One last thing. Check to see if your plant is a shade plant, or a light plant. If it is a shade plant, it should be kept out of direct sunlight, and it needs fewer hours of light per day. If it's a sunny plant, it should get lots and lots of sunlight, if you don't have access to enough sunlight for your plant, there are special bulbs specifically designed to simulate sunlight and they would provide your plant with the light it needs.
My house plants are dying..any tricks to keep them alive?how often to water?
Most houseplants die from overwatering, perhaps every opther day, but sunlight is a key as well
Reply:only water them when they feel dry depending on the plant they need light I keep mine in my bathroom I've had mine for over ten years some I don't water unlees thet look welty
here's a pic of mine
Reply:Over watering is definitely a common problem. One to two times per week is enough.
Make sure the roots have enough room. Could the pots be too small?
Also, add some plant spikes, they may need a little nutrition. They are very inexpensive.
Reply:There could be Quite a number of factors,they could need larger pots,new soil,more nutrients,less watering or visa Vera's,more light or less light-don't know what plants they are.Insects maybe a factor ask you the q. try different things see how it goes.
Reply:My first guess is that you are using tap water.
Try not to use tap water on indoor plants, there is all sorts of chemicals and fluoride, bleach and crap in your tap water. Go to the grocery and buy a gallon or two of water, nothing special, pay under a buck for the water.
Second guess is in proper watering.
Totally depends on the plant as to how much water you give them, so look up on your computer how much and how often to water your plants.
Lastly feeding, indoor plants need food or meal in the soil, so when you are looking up how often to water them with you non treated water find out the appropriate potting soil mix.
Reply:depending on where u live the winter is very hard on plants in the northern states lack of light heatt on in the house some of the dying is natural only water when dry put your finger in about an inch down and if its dry water try to put in brighest window south or west good luck
Reply:I water mine 2-3 times a week. You don't want to over water them and drown them. But then you don't want to starve them. A safe way to check is to stick a toothpick into the soil. If it comes out sorta moist, you don't have to water them that day. If it comes out bone dry, definately feed them.
Reply:you can let them get dry and then water them with a measuring cup to see how much you put in and if they like sun or shade

Reply:I water mine 2-3 times a week. You don't want to over water them and drown them. But then you don't want to starve them. A safe way to check is to stick a toothpick into the soil. If it comes out sorta moist, you don't have to water them that day. If it comes out bone dry, definately feed them.
