Plants for Home and Garden

Not only is it satisfying to grow plants, but it also makes your home and garden look and smell wonderful, too. Having a variety of plants around the house can remove toxic fumes from inside the home and repel bugs outside. If you don’t have room to plant a garden, you can always add some color and fragrance with container gardening.

Hanging plants are another way to have some flowers and greenery. Inside, they are great in the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. Outside, they look lovely hanging on the front porch. Plants like ivy, Pothos, and spider plants are easily the best indoor hanging plants to grow and maintain.

If you grow any plants, you will find how to use neem oil on plants is simple and it is wise to have a bottle hanging around. This natural pesticide is derived from crushing neem seeds and has a variety of uses. Mix up a spray to kill grubs, Japanese beetles, slugs, and chinch bugs, and more, or use as a fungicide for diseases like black spot, anthracnose, and blight.

For areas in your yard where it may be challenging to grow plants, you can add a ground cover to fill in the bare spots. The best ground cover plants are generally quick-growing and simple to control. Plants like creeping thyme, periwinkle, and creeping phlox all add a splash of color and a delightful scent to the garden.

Mosquitoes are not only annoying; they carry disease. No one but bats wants them around. Utilizing spray repellents and bug zappers do help to get rid of these nasty insects but adding some specific plants to strategic areas of the yard can reduce their populations, as well. Use these plants that mosquitoes hate – lemon balm, catnip, basil, lavender, citronella, marigolds, and sage.
