Use Different Fertilizers For Different Plants -Fact Or Fiction?
Use different fertilizers for different plants -fact or fiction?
Fiction – Orchids and African violets are very delicate. It is necessary to use a special fertilizer for these plants.
Fact – It is not necessary to use a special fertilizer for orchids or African violets. It is, however, easy to over fertilize these plants. I recommend fertilizing them less frequently.
Fiction – Farmers use a different fertilizer for each crop that they grow.
Fact – Farmers do not use a different fertilizer for each crop that they grow and they grow profitable plants.
Fiction – You cannot use the same fertilizer you use on flowers as you do on vegetables.
Fact – You do not need to use a rose fertilizer for roses, a tomato fertilizer for tomatoes and yet another for your houseplants. You can use the same fertilizer for all of your plants.
Fact – Although you do not need a different fertilizer for different plants, you do need to remember that all fertilizers are not created equal. Some contain additional nutrients that are required by plants and some use higher quality ingredients than others. So remember, the next time you shop for fertilizer – think quality instead of quantity!
If you are looking for a great safe fertilizer try Bill’s Perfect Fertilizer. Bill’s Perfect Fertilizer is an all-natural, fish based fertilizer made by Spray-N-Grow Gardening ( http://www.spray-n-growgardening.com ). This fertilizer can be used for fruits, vegetables, flowers and houseplants. It is safe to use in your garden, your yard or inside your home.

recycled water? whats the water from a nuclear reactor. don't use that but if its from anything that would have nutriants it would be real advantages. as long as its not toxic waste are full of oil are something like that

Both will survive inside during winter. Both root easily (and will grow happily) in water (use clear container.)
A few other annuals that overwinter inside:
Geranium
Begonia
Hoya
Hibiscus
Dichondra

Oregano is such an easy herb! The benefit is that is can be used for such a wide variety of things, and it is a perennial so it will come back every year!
Other no brainers (and I know this from my own personal experience) is lemon verbena, thyme (lemon thyme as well) rosemary, mint, and lavender, and basil.
I have had some troubles with sage, but maybe it doesn't like Ohio weather, so the humid/hot might be good for it! Pretty much any herb is workable, just buy from a good source (preferably a farmer's market) and read any labels. I know having them indoors vs. outdoors makes a difference as well, so what I share is just from having outdoor herbs. (I just dug up the ground, plopped them in, and they lived!)
Good luck!

if you want color, you will have to plant annuals, which are beautiful but must be replanted every year (that's why they are called annuals). If you want greenery, then perennials are your best best. Perennials are good in that they come back every year, but they aren't very colorful. It sounds like you live in a pretty mild climate, so you might have luck with the annuals, they may not ever die on you. I like snapdragons, peonies (very fragrant and much easier to grow than roses) and gardenias. For perennials, nothing beats the hardy mum.

If you grow plants under different colors of cellophane it will affect their biomass. Since chlorophyll is the predominant pigment in most plants (all the green ones), the plants whose chlorophyll is most efficient will have more energy and grow faster. Chlorophyll absorbs red light most efficiently, and green light least efficiently, so a decent hypothesis to make would be that the plant under the red filter would grow the best, purple or orange might be second best, blue or yellow might be third, and green would be worst.
