When bringing plants indoors for the winter, what should they be sprayed with?

To prevent spiders and insects from coming in with plants, what should they be sprayed with before bringing the plants in for the winter?

When bringing plants indoors for the winter, what should they be sprayed with?
u can spray them off with ur garden hose or put them in the shower for a bit...
Reply:A mild solution of dish soap and water will work wonderfully.


Just spray them before you bring them in and you should be fine. mix about 1tsp of dish soap and 1tsp of canola oil in a water bottle and spray. If you see any signs of insects after 1 week then spray again. One dose should do it though, especially if you are planning on bringing them in right after the treatment.


Good Luck
Reply:I have a sun porch were I let plants decompress a couple weeks before letting them into the house. I don't even bother to hose off the spiders, bring them all in. Before going inside they get a bath and an inspection but I seldom see a pest. RScott


What freshwater plants can survive in my aquarium? I have a 120 watt light fixture and no CO2 system.?

I have a 135 gallon tank that's 72" x 18" x 24". I know that this is too weak to grow most plants but I can't afford stronger lighting nor a CO2 system at the moment. So what plants can survive in these conditions?

What freshwater plants can survive in my aquarium? I have a 120 watt light fixture and no CO2 system.?
Go with hardy low-light plants such as:


Vallis


Hygrophilia


Cabomba


Hornwort


Riccia


Java Moss


Java Fern


Anubias


Crypts


Swords





Supplement them with ferts including liquid and root tabs. Some of these species come in various forms so you can have some variation in the tank. It will be a little trial and error, I've been through dozens of species and currently have thriving hygrophilia (wide leaf) with enough cuttings for all my tanks in low light small tanks.
Reply:Java ferns and Java moss are the hardier plants then tend to do well with minimal effort. You should do some research on them to find out exactly what you need to help them grow. Most plants will need the stronger lights CO2 and additional nutrients added to the tank to grow well.
Reply:Most plants can survive, but they will not grow well except maybe java fern that actually loves low light levels.


What live plants can I put with my male betta?

What small live plants can I put with my betta in his 10 gallon tank? Is it advisable to put live plants in the tank, or would it create algae?

What live plants can I put with my male betta?
Live plants actually take away the food source of algae, creating less algae than an unplanted tank.





The easiest plants (in my opinion) are java fern, java moss, Hygrophila polysperma, marimo balls, anubias, christmas moss





try looking on e-bay for some ideas

Reply:anything really, a real popular and common one is amazon sword
Reply:I really love my Betta. I have her in a 10 gallon set up too. I've added some live plants from my local pet shop. Ask them what they have and which they like best. Hopefully they can give you some good ideas. Betta love wrapping around those plants, so soft plants are really a must.
Reply:As Miko said, live plants compete with algae for nutrients. Live plants are great for many reasons-- they compete with algae by using up ammonium, nitrate, and phosphate, they provide a natural, changing environment for fish, some fish will nibble on them (Bettas are insectivores that won't eat plants), and during the day, they oxygenate the water.





For a standard fluorescent light, consider Water Sprite, Hornwort, Java Fern, Anubias, Vallisneria, Cryptocorynes, Banana Plants, Bacopa, Java Moss, Saggitaria, Anacharis, and Sword plants (Echinodorus species). Large, leafy plants like Crypts, Banana Plants, and Swords will provide a "hammock" for your Betta which it will often rest on while tall plants and floating plants like Water Sprite, Hornwort, Vallisneria, Bacopa, and Anacharis will provide shady areas for the Betta to construct a bubble nest around. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Reply:1st- male bettas are carnivores, they don't eat alot of plant matter, so if the plants are tank safe, any should do.


2nd- if the tank has good water quality and light, many hobbyist find that the live plants use up the nutrients, leaving little left for the algae to use. So sometimes you have less algae, again, depending on H20 and lighting quality.
Reply:As long as you keep the tank away from direct sunlight, I assume you won't get a probable amount of algea.


Look for long, flowing, SOFT plants.

What are some indoor plants I can grow,clone, and sell for a decent amount of money?

I am going to set up racks with lights. I need to purchase plants that can be grown and cloned in a timely fashion. I just need plants that will sell. I just want to start a E Bay shop on the side. I see Salvia plants sell for $25 all day long. I just need some suggestions on what to grow.

What are some indoor plants I can grow,clone, and sell for a decent amount of money?
A contradiction, fast growing plants sell cheap.


An idea, ficus or rubber plants, a wide variety are available, choose the small leaf type and grow them in bonsai style, sold in small bonsai pots. You could reproduce from cuttings, fast turnover maximum price, they would sell best as gifts.


Some succulents also grow tree like and would be suitable.


I hope that gives you a few ideas, lots of other plants would suit, you mentioned salvia, they also look nice as a bonsai.


Ginger and plants that compliment it?

I have some Thai ginger in my garden and I am looking at putting some other plants around it. I was thinking of regular ginger and maybe turmeric. Does anyone have any suggestions on other plants that would compliment (ie. look good next to) the Thai ginger?

Ginger and plants that compliment it?
basil and or brasilian coliander :)


What are some good plants for windows?

i have a few small windows in my kitchen and i couldn't figure out what type of curtians would look good on these odd sized windows, so someone suggested i just hang plants there to add a little privacy. great idea! although when i went plant shopping the ones that i found that would hang well said "avoid direct sunlight" so...what are some plants that do like direct sunlight that i could hang in my windows. any ideas? thanks!

Reply:Many herb plants like the sun.


Oregano and marjoram will trail out of a hanging pot as will thyme.


Basil will grow up and if you keep the top pinched it will branch out.


Choose interesting ones like purple ruffled basil, lemon thyme and tri colored sage.


This way you will always have a bit of privacy and a source of fresh herbs.
