I forget. I have 2 large peace lillies that clearly droop when they need water so I let them determine the schedule for all indoor plants. I don't know if this is a thing, but I started watering using the water from boiling eggs. My plants look amazing -like they're on steroids! Lush. Deep greens. Very healthy looking. They got so full, I had to stop using it with every watering. Now, I keep a container of "egg water" for occasional use. I don't eat eggs often but when I bake, just drop the shells in a plastic container of tap water until needed. Beware,sometimes there can be a sulfur smell when lid is removed but this airs out fairly quickly. I have Miracle-Gro but use the "egg water" only on the indoor plants for now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05278561354791707833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-38518618685068584962020-07-28T19:07:06.970-04:002020-07-28T19:07:06.970-04:00I so agree!

I’ve two succulents in my kitchen and I water them every two months year around. I’ve always had good luck with my plants but, lately, they are thriving. My fiddle leaf, thanks to your tips is, also, growing and thriving.Karen Simon Petersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-8581220189350134872020-07-28T04:40:02.062-04:002020-07-28T04:40:02.062-04:00Thanks for the tip.

At the risk of duplicating here’s the abbreviated version:<br />My ferns were better with Epsom salts, checking soil moisture before watering and then only adding a couple of tablespoons each day as needed.<br />Monsters too do well with less water, but if you want them to grow more leaves, water more.<br />I want a fiddle leaf fig; love them!<br />Thanks again!<br />Anita from Australia 🇦🇺 Anita Richards Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795839128390945094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-88978232935738362512020-07-28T01:34:56.058-04:002020-07-28T01:34:56.058-04:00I haven't ever had any success with my housepl...I haven't ever had any success with my houseplants, so hopefully your tips help!
