Best Answer

Some plants may benefit from a small amount of ash added to the soil. Ash is like antacid for plants, so do not add ash to plants that like acidic soil such as roses. A small amount of ash from the fireplace (wood burning only, no garbage ashes) can benefit some of the cheaper soils available for houseplants, the ash will add some potassium and reduce acidity.
