Plants that look pale and show no sign of new growth could be root bound or unhealthy and will take longer to establish in the gr... more

Houseplant Drainage - Good drainage is important in the cultivation of practically all plants grown in containers. Soil should be sufficiently porous to permit the free passage of water and the bottoms of the containers should have holes through which surplus water may drain.... more
