Houseplants

No, bleach is harmful to plants and can inhibit their growth. Using bleach in excess can damage the plant's roots and disrupt its natural processes. It's best to avoid using bleach around houseplants and instead opt for plant-friendly products and care methods to promote healthy growth.

To prevent water in your house plants from smelling, make sure to empty the saucers underneath the plants regularly to avoid stagnant water. Ensure proper drainage by using pots with drainage holes so excess water can easily escape. Consider using filtered or distilled water to avoid any build-up of minerals that can cause unpleasant odors. Lastly, allow the top layer of soil to dry out before watering again to prevent waterlogged conditions that can lead to foul smells.

No. Phellodendron is a genus of 5 or 6 trees from East Asia. Philodendron is a genus of about 120 species of climbing shrubs or small trees from Tropical America. Some of them are used as pot plants.

Plants that grow best in sitting water are typically referred to as aquatic or marsh plants, such as water lilies, cattails, iris, and rushes. These plants have adapted to thrive in wet environments and are able to absorb nutrients and oxygen from the water. It is important to ensure that the water is not heavily polluted or stagnant to support healthy plant growth.

Some non-toxic house plants safe for kids and pets include spider plant, Boston fern, African violet, and Areca palm. These plants are safe to have around and can add a touch of greenery to your home without posing a risk to your loved ones.

To get a potted plant on MyLifeNerd, you typically need to purchase it from the in-game store or win it as a reward for completing certain tasks or challenges within the game. Additionally, some players may choose to trade or sell potted plants to other players in the game.

Plant shine typically contains natural oils, such as mineral oil or neem oil, along with other ingredients like silicone to provide a glossy appearance and protect the leaves of plants. However, it is important to follow application instructions carefully to avoid buildup and potential harm to the plant.

Nemesia are generally treated a summer flowering bedding plants.

It is a type of mold on the plant leaf. The way that I cure mine is I spray it with mild dish soap, brown mouth wash (a Teaspoon) and water. Due this early in the morning as wetting the leafs at night when they stay wet all night is a big cause to this problem. There are fugicides out there to buy, but I do this which is green and doesnt hurt or harm any animals outside what so ever.

Obviously judging from the cacti's arid environment where water is a rarity, one must conclude that in fact they eat dirt, sand, or any other soil like material. Cacti also most likely use the power that they gather from the sun to lure unsuspecting victims to them where they impale them upon their many spikes and absorb the nutrients from the carcass much like a fungus.

If plants are not cared for, they may become stressed, wilt, or die. They need water, sunlight, and nutrients to survive, so neglecting these requirements can result in a plant's health deteriorating.

House plants absorb CO2 through their leaves as part of the photosynthesis process. The rate of CO2 absorption can vary depending on factors like the plant species, size, and environmental conditions. Generally, house plants absorb CO2 slowly but consistently throughout the day while they are actively photosynthesizing.

Wasps do not hibernate in the earth of house plants. While some species of wasps may overwinter in crevices or sheltered locations, they do not typically seek out the soil of house plants for hibernation.

When a seed lacks light during germination, it will still be able to sprout with the help of stored energy within the seed itself. However, without light, the seedling will grow tall and spindly as it desperately seeks light for photosynthesis. This phenomenon is known as etiolation.

The houseplant you are referring to is likely a variety of nerve plant (Fittonia albivenis). This plant has striking green leaves with pink veins and is often grown as a trailing vine in indoor settings. It requires high humidity and indirect light to thrive.

Yes, adding small rocks to the bottom of a potted plant can help with drainage and prevent water from pooling at the roots. Just be sure not to add too many rocks, as this can restrict root growth and drainage.

Depending on where you live it could be that the temperature it soo hot for the jade plant. I live in Arizona, keep my Jade shaded all day and am having the same problem. I stopped by a local nursery and was told that it's just too hot outside for the little fella. Now I'm cutting it back, placing it near a window until the temperature returns to under 100 degrees. Hope this is of some help. Diane in AZ

Most plants enjoy a shower once in awhile, but take care to dry out the center alittle so it won't rot. Wipe off gently with a paper towel. I don't recommend using leaf shinners they close pours. Neem oil is a good choice if you want your plants leaves to shine.

Urine is usually around a pH of 7, or neutral (like pure water). The problem might come with the extreme amount of salts and ammonia present in the urine, which may be harmful to the plant. The best solution is probably to rinse it with a lot of water. If it is in a pot with good drainage, take it outside or over a sink and water it repeatedly for a while, letting the water just flow out of the bottom to flush out the urine. If the pot has no drainage, it might not be a bad idea to replant it into a pot with good drainage, using soil that wasn't saturated with urine, and you might want to water it a few times, again to flush any of the urine that might have come in the soil around the roots.

It is unlikely that having a latex allergy would make you allergic to a rubber plant (Ficus elastica), as the latex in plants like rubber plants contains different proteins than synthetic latex. However, it's always best to consult with an allergist or medical professional for personalized advice.

The seed of light is a metaphorical concept representing the essence of consciousness, enlightenment, or spiritual awakening within a person. It symbolizes the potential for growth, transformation, and illumination in one's life and inner being. Cultivating this seed involves nurturing it through practices such as meditation, self-reflection, and mindfulness to allow it to blossom and expand.

Chloroplasts are the specific organelles in plant cells that are responsible for photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll, the pigment that captures light energy and enables the plant to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen in the presence of light.

The coryanthes orchid plant has a unique shape with pouch-like structures called "bucket" or "helmet" flowers. These flowers have a concave lip that collects rainwater, attracting pollinating insects that slip into the bucket and exit through a narrow passage, ensuring pollination.

No, bean seeds do not need sunlight to grow. They primarily require water, air, and warmth to germinate and begin their growth process. Once the seedling emerges from the ground, it will need sunlight for photosynthesis to produce energy for further growth.
