Yes I do and I have a water softner which has salt in it. I have to take all these things into consideration. I requested the Adm. to start a "tropical houseplant forum" just to address these issues without having to search all over the Forums to find someone who does what I do, but the administration said we have a houseplant and a tropical forum. They do not need another, but, as you can see with some questions it takes forever to find people who actually can answer some questions because tropical houseplants have so many different mediums as well as different fertilizers, very few are the same. Also, most of the tropical gardners have these beautiful outdoor gardens and the soil is different. Plus, those people who have tropical houseplants as hobbies and not businesses use what they can buy over the counter etc. I could go on and on to try and justify the need but I guess I am always looking for the simple, easiest time saving ways I can. The pl.ants I sell are all starter plants and I like to send them out in the best possible condition. I am very fussy and my customers love it.
I do appreciate any help you can give me. I am like a lost sheep here.
