Check out these indoor garden supplies. After all, who can't use a few helpers around the house?

Shed Some Light

Are your house plants getting enough light?

If they're "reaching" toward a window with long, spindly stems, and have long spaces between the leaves, they're not getting the light they need for photosynthesis. That's how plants transform light into the energy they need to grow.

Using a light intensity meter is the only surefire way to get an accurate measure of natural light near your windows.

Artificial lighting can supplement natural sunlight by providing the type of light plants require for photosynthesis. These grow lights for plants may work wonders, helping your house plants to grow lush and full.

Table Grow Light

Give your small house plant all the light it wants, year-round.

A compact footprint makes this Agrobrite Desktop Plant Light a go-anywhere grow light, ideal for a side table or shelf. Features a full-spectrum bulb to mimic sun's rays.

I love this feature: the height is adjustable so you can put the light closer to flowering plants, herbs or seedlings. Plus -- you'll appreciate the built-in tray to protect your table.

This organic spray works as a fungicide, insecticide and miticide to control aphids, mites, mealybugs, powdery mildew, black spot and other things that are bugging your plants.

Gauge Moisture

House plants rely on us to meet all their watering needs. Without water, they'll die. Even a short time without it will cause stems and leaves to droop and leaf edges to turn brown. Overwatering is even more common and kills more plants than anything else. Soggy soil can cause root rot, leading to limp stems and yellow leaves.

How do you know when it's time to water?

Sticking your finger in the soil is one way to tell. However, the finger method won't allow you to feel moisture deep in the pot, where most of the plant's roots are contained.

The most accurate way to gauge the amount of moisture is to use a plant moisture meter. It's the best way to take the guesswork out of watering. And, it may save your plants.
