You probably already knew that plants need water and light to grow, but did you know that they also need the right nutrition? A plant’s nutrition consists of different types of minerals, which the plant extracts from the soil with its roots. In plants that grow in nature, the food supply is constantly replenished: leaves that fall to the ground are digested and converted into nutrients that the plant can then absorb again. For plants that grow indoors in pots, this is not the case, because potting soil doesn’t have such a rich soil life and dead leaves are often removed. To provide house plants with sufficient food, plant food is often used. Plant food is added to the potting soil, which can be in liquid or solid form, and contains all the important nutrients that a plant needs.

Now that the summer holidays are over and we are going back to school and work, the eternal sandwich making also starts again. While in many countries a hot meal at noon is the standard, in the Netherlands it is very common to have sandwiches topped with sausage, cheese or peanut butter. We can imagine that the eternal peanut butter sandwich will disappoint you after a week and those sandwiches often end up in the trash while you let yourself be convinced to order something in the cafeteria again. This is of course a great waste, not only of the sandwiches but also of the money spent. Would you like to upgrade your lunchbox by filling it with something more original than those sandwiches? Then the PlantHome is your best friend!

The new school year has started again, which also means that the daily routine with work, school, sports and household chores has started again. Something that often falls short as the days get busier again is cooking a fresh and healthy meal, as it often takes longer than putting an unhealthy meal on the table. We can imagine that growing your own greens and herbs is not high on your list of priorities during this period. Because that takes a lot of time, doesn’t it? But nothing could be further from the truth! By growing with our PlantHome you ensure that, even if you have little time, you always have a healthy addition to your meals. Unlike maintaining a vegetable garden, growing with the PlantHome hardly takes time. But how is that possible? We explain that to you below!
