Growing indoor hanging plants
If you want to take advantage of having amazing
looking plants in your home, there is really only one answer – indoor hanging
plants. Unlike the usual ground based potted plants that you see in so many
people’s home, indoor hanging plants can really help brighten up a room with
their stunning good looks and beautiful foliage. Many people simply do not
realize all of the good that can come from these spectacular plants.
Growing indoor hanging plants is more than simply placing a pot on a
hook. You have to know the proper way to keep the soil moist if you want your
hanging plants to thrive. The first step in growing a collection of indoor
hanging plants is to find the pots that are right for you. Make sure they are
not too heavy when nothing is in them, and be sure to buy pots that do not have
holes in the bottom, as you do not want water to drip out.
Planting indoor plants in hanging pots should be done with soil that you prepare
yourself. Mix some polymer crystals in with your potting soil so you can create
your own self-watering pots to ensure that your hanging plants always have
enough moisture in their roots. When mixed with water, the polymer crystals will
create a gel like substance that you should add to the potting soil once the
plant has been placed in the hanging pot. Dig a few holes in the soil around the
plant and then pour the polymer crystals into each hole for maximum
effectiveness.
There you have it, an impressive way to grow your indoor hanging plants without
having to get up on a ladder a few times a week to make sure that they are
staying moist enough – and you only have to check on your plants every few weeks
to remove dead leaves and exterminate any insects that may be growing on them.
