Re: Re: Could a House Plant Clean the Air?

Mix Cinnamon in the soil and sprinkle on top of soil. It kills the mold

growing. It was a tip from my grandmother that owned a flower shop. Also my

grandfather was a farmer and worked for the dept of agriculture. This tip

always worked for me. Also I was told to water from the bottom and not to

let them stand in water.

-- [] Re: Could a House Plant Clean the Air?

I have some plants I brought from Cal, and am fine with them. The soil I

used was not

moldy. But here in Mn, it seems like it all has peat moss, which really

affects me. I can't

seem to get any from another part of the country. This may be a regional

phenomena.

I am about to throw most of my plants away, but first I plan on tenting them

with my

ozone machine, which was first used to kill fungus on plants. If that doesn

t do it. I guess I

will just have to get rid of em.

I cant handle the mold in the soil of a plant

Just my petals of thoughts on this. I have house full of pot plants, small

to large (over 10'). I'm not only concerned about mold but also the

original soil the plant came in and the pesticides/chemicals sprayed on the

plants before I purchased them.

When I buy a new plant it stays outside, I wash it down with Medina, change

the soil, give it a new pot and put on a 2 " layer of activated charcoal on

top of the soil. I'm very careful not to over water the plants. By doing

all this I have no problems. It can be done if we use caution.

seeds which are illegal to grow in the U.S.--yup we have an addiction

giggles that's why KC was using my post to give you all a laugh! We have so

many illnesses and issues in our lives we need a good laugh and yes my " pot

plants " are house plants so no need to worry. I'm totally straight, honest

and legal. lol I grow CA Poppies in early Spring and a police officer rang

my door bell telling me it's illegal to grow poppies. Poor thing thought I

was growing opium poppies and not the CA poppies. I lovingly showed him a

package of seeds which I bought at a local nursery. He was ok them.

CA poppies are beautiful and they make a lovely nervine in tincture form.

I'm not worried about anyone reading about my " pot plants " . Police and

anyone welcome to visit my home and check for illegal substances as long as

they are non-toxic, no fragrances on them.

giggles,

Rosie

Marcie, do a google " image " search for poppies and ID which one you grow.

If you have the CA Poppies you could make a wonderful tincture with them and

days when you can't sleep, have too much pain the CA Poppy tincture will

help a little bit. I make up an herbal formula for pain when I'm hurting

and am experimenting with another one I had to purchase from a professional

(doesn't grow around me) when I get the deep muscular aches and cramps that

nothing seems to help; in the neck,shoulders and upper arms. Don't know if

anyone else gets those but I do when exposed to some chemicals.

Rosie,

I also have a lot of " potted " house plants and been concerned about the mold,

but it helps to be able to grow things and keep them alive and have a hobby. It

gives me hope. I don't have any in my bedroom or den where I am most of the

time. I like the idea about the use of the activated charcoal. I want to try

it. I've read it can remove mycotoxins that are ingested, so assume it would

work in the soil. How much do you use and how do you apply?

Kathy remember when I purchase a new plant, I change out the soil and also

the pot it came in because often the soil, inner pot is moldy and contains

pesticides and other chemicals and I wash the plants with a non-toxic soap

before they come into the house. I'm also very careful to never overwater

and check the soil for any mold odor.

The charcoal I purchase at a regular nursery in bags, I put a layer of at

least 2 " , more for larger plants on top of the soil and never try to

overwater. To be on the safe side, I replace the charcoal chunks every 3

months.

Hope this helps,

Rosie
