I was searching on the internet about house plants because when I do the house cleaning, I really want to move all the furniture, including the plants of my mother-in-law, but every time I’m done with the cleaning, I notice that the plants are back in their old places. And with the help of this page, I can somehow understand why some of her plants are on the windows, some are on the outside, and most are in distinct parts of the house. And now I can see my mother-in-law smiling at me. Thank you! stragro 11 months ago Actually, they only live in the top inch or so of soil. So, you don’t need to repot all of your plants.
