The only thing that * really * keeps the houseplants alive

Our indoor gardens keep us relaxed, clean our air and give our room a boisterous atmosphere. But you need more than just beautifully patterned planters and occasional watering to keep them in top shape. You really have to clean them. Yes, like all other things in your house, these plants need some dust from time to time. Erin Marino, Plant Lover and Director of Marketing Marketing in the Modern Garden Center Online The Sill , shares his tips on cleaning equipment that will help keep your home cool (and alive).

Keep it without dust.

The dust soon accumulates in a habitat, especially around the plants. Greening not only looks less bright, but it can block sunlight and reduce the photosynthetic capacity of your plant.

Marino suggests shaking her plants every month. You can * gently * clean your sheets with a soft cloth, sponge or towel. "At home I use a paper towel moistened with warm water, warm water or lye, and the cold faucet could damage the factory," Marino adds.

(Specific) plants take a shower.

For green areas that are a bit difficult (or dangerous) to clean by hand, a shower could be the perfect choice. "Think of a plant in its natural environment: frequent rains (or occasional cacti living in the deserts) help keep the leaves of a plant clean, so just mimic this natural event," explains Marino.

When watering / bathing plants, make sure that you are not standing over water and choosing hot water. You may like a hot shower, but your plants certainly are not.

Sustainability tips for a clean indoor air

Did you know that, according to EPA, indoor air is typically 2 to 5 times more polluted than outside air? This is often due to the cleansing products we use and the effects on our environment and our health.

Three tips

Reduce the use of toxic chemicals by following the warnings when purchasing cleaning products. If the label says "Danger", "Warning" or "Warning" it probably contains toxins that contribute to air pollution.

Look for biodegradable cleaning products or create your own. Making cleaning solutions for your home is very simple and often involves cooking ingredients for the kitchen. They are safe for children and pets, are inexpensive and can lead to better air quality in your home.

4. Store in the refrigerator until cooked.

5. When you prepare the cake, you can leave the yoghurt container and hang it in your garden.

Carton roll feed

"A cardboard tube used in the kitchen, or toilet rolls, that's a great loader," said Ness.

1. Make four holes in the bottom of the pipe to later drill a few rods in a cross section.

2. Drill two holes at the top to pass the rope and be able to hang.

3. Cover the tube in the sebum or lard with a knife in front of the stalk and roll in the birdseed.

4. The thread carefully sticks through the bottom to form small hangers and attach a thick string through the top two holes. Hold onto the branch of a tree or the clothesline.

Old plastic bottle charger

1. "Recycled plastic bottles and milk cartons can be hung or handled on a branch of the top," Ben said. "Pass a wand through the bottle on each side to create a pole with a hole over which the squatting birds can take the seed, which is a large dining area.

8 TWO AND DONATION FOR THE USE OF FOODS FOR BIRDS

1. Use a good mix of seeds

"Seed mixtures can vary enormously in quality," said Ness. "Best mixes contain many cornflakes, sunflower seeds and peanut granules. Small seeds, such as millet, primarily attract sparrows, finches, females, brushstalk and pigeons neck, while corn flaking easily caught by blackbirds.

"Avoid seed mixtures are separated peas, dried beans, lentils or dry rice, because only large species such as pigeons can eat dry. These will increase to certain mixtures of cheaper seeds ".

2. Add these seeds

"Fill the feeders with sunflower seeds and black Nyjer seeds - they are fatty and are an excellent meal year-round," Larry said.

3. Give leftovers

"The leftovers from your dinner are a delicious treat," said Ness. "Bread is good, but it's really a filling with unsalted fat, baked potato, grated cheese, nuts, apples, pears, and raw and cooked cakes.

4. Feed all year

"Not only do birds learn that your garden is a haven and constantly visit, but must be fed on the birds winter , when the food is low, and in the summer when they are busy feeding their chicks," Ness said , "You can see a drop in visitors during the fall as the birds move in to enjoy the plentiful food in the hedgerows and fields, but do not worry, they will come!

5. Clean food leftovers

This is how it does not shape or attract rats. At the end of the day it is usually the best.

6. Do not use fat for cooking

"Do not use grease to cook in bird feeders because these meat juices are not good for bird feathers," said Ness. "Also avoid margarine, vegetable oils, milk, cooked porridge, dried coconut, any mold and everything is salty."

7. Do not use peanuts

"You should not use salted or dried roasted peanuts," said Ness. "Peanuts can be high in a natural toxin called aflatoxin, which can kill birds, so always shop with a reputable dealer."

8. Do not forget the water

"It's important for birds to drink and wash their feathers," Ness said. "Please make sure you clean it regularly so the disease does not spread so easily, and so will your feeders."

HOW DOES I PROTECT THE SQUIRREL OF THE BIRD?

Gray squirrels can be a little annoying to bird lovers because they have clever ways to access the bird's feed that stays in the garden.

"The bird feeders squirrels are the most common question," said Ben. "This is a difficult task, as the squirrels are very intelligent and determined, and I swear the squirrels believe the bird feeders are completely there for them!"

Here are some great ways to keep squirrels away ...

1. The tour of olive oil

"One of the easiest ways to prevent squirrels from damaging your feeders and eating their birdseed hanging is to provide your feeder station with care and apply it to really slippery a uniform layer of oil olives on the rod. Ben Said

"That means the squirrels can not hold the pole and pull it when they try to climb it."

2. Stay away from trees

"The plant should be away from trees or fences because they jump over at their feeding site," Ben said.

3. Squirrel contracts

"There are many other options for the squirrel," said Ben, "as sliding sleeves cover donor seeds, feeder runs when the pressure of the squirrel's weight perched on the hanger to keep the cone squirrel feeders climbing, distributing the handle so that if the squirrels preserve the rod, the gate closes and the seed is hidden, the feeders of the cage etc.

"The list also includes complete courses of attacks that are less fearful and want to be fun to challenge these squirrels.

4. A big feeding station

"The most successful and cheapest option is a large power plant with a greased post, with an additional cone to bend the squirrel," said Ben.

5. Be fat

"Vaseline or another fat in a soft publication will also help," said Ness. "These methods only work if the squirrel can not jump directly to the charger, but they must approach the forbidden route."

6. Buy special bird feeders that are squirrel-proof

"You can buy feeders with a cage around them, but they are not resistant to the squirrel, not the squirrel, and a small person will be able to get through," said Ness.

7. Use chilli powder

"The thick chilli powder or pepper sauce, like Tabasco, can be speckled on food for birds," said Ness. "Birds are not disturbed by chili, but most squirrels can not stand the burning sensation and leave the food."

HOW TO CLEAN THE BIRD FOOD

Ad - Read below

Ben suggests we clean our feeders every month. Here are his cleaning tips:

1. Fill a bucket with warm water and soap - or even better with a 5% disinfectant solution.

2. Thoroughly rub the bird feeder and remove any traces of food or excrement.

3. Rinse with clean water and allow the charger to dry completely before filling and refilling.

4. It is very important to move the feeding troughs around the garden so that leftovers and excrement do not fall into the same patch for months, which can lead to the spread of the disease.

5. Provide the right amount of good bird food to ensure your garden birds stay happy and healthy.

Ben added, "You do not want food lying around for days, birds have to empty a feeding trough in a day or two, so feed regularly but in moderation."
