Indoor garden

[Sonny1318]

I started using it to prevent eroded craters from watering, the appearance is a nice bonus. And the books say that top-dressing also helps keep moisture in. I use aquarium gravel, and the pots with larger drainage holes get bigger chunks in the bottom to keep the soil from falling out. I finally used up most of the stuff from a retired 10-gallon tank, and had to buy a couple new bags (I don’t try to save every little bit when re-potting). The small bucket of extra gravel makes a good doorstop.

I was looking at “gravel” at Home Depot, some Mexican gray pebbles?? I think they would look nice. And yes I’ve read they can be helpful in that regard. You sure do have some beautiful plants, most of those are succulents correct?? Beautiful collection either way. I have a very large balcony and have a bunch of different kinds of marigolds out there. I used to plant honeysuckles. But between the squirrels eating them and watching praying mantis’s attack the hummingbirds they attracted. I went with the marigolds.
