Learn how to properly care for you house plants in this program presented by the Master Gardeners of Somerset County.

There are many reasons to grow plants in our home. They beautify your home, reduce stress and can reduce indoor pollutants. Indoor plants, like outdoor plants, require the appropriate amount of light, temperature range, humidity, water and nutrition. Some plants need lots of light, others not so much. In this program you will learn about a light test, watering frequency, humidity and other factors to improve success.

This program is presented by the Master Gardeners of Somerset County.
