Only 30 bucks at Walmart!

I found that indoor plants are expensive.

I found that indoor plants are expensive.

They definitely can be. The philodendron world can get crazy. So can the succulent world.

Fortunately, cheaper alternatives

I found that at the nursery, indoor plants are very expensive and they are of medium size. The tiny indoor plants is much cheaper, but....wait for it to grow is just too long.

My alternative shopping for these is at the Sunday market where people grow them at home and then sell them at the market.

I am re-thinking about indoor plants, might be I should get one that can grow inside the house, but in a vase of water instead of soil, this might perhaps eliminate the Fungus gnat issue.

Hello...howdy.......anyone here???

I decided to put my peace lily plant in water pot instead now as I am trying to rid of those nasty Fungus gnat current taking resident in my living room.

Is there anything I can put in the rain water pot to feed my peace lily?
Thanks

I have absolutely no experience with growing plants in water. Hopefully someone else can help

We have been having prolong and excessive rain since last year, the humidity is high, that I think is also a contributing factor of over populated of Fungus gnat in my living room. I love to have some plants inside my house, so I think for now, water pots are best.

That’s probably a good idea, and quite possibly why you’ve been having so many gnat problems.

Thankfully, peace lilies love humidity, and I’m positive that yours will like growing in water (after adjusting a bit). Keeping water and humidity loving plants would be a good idea.

That’s quite literally the opposite of what I grow, so I can’t help there either

I saw on our TV Gardening Australia, people grow indoor plant in pots so well and so beautiful, but I failed badly at this.

On TV, it sounds so easy, but it is not the case with me.
