probiotic for plants

Probiotics are helpful not only for humans but plants as well. They are beneficial bacteria that help plants resist environmental stresses and allow them to grow more productively.

Key takeaways:

  • Probiotics help seeds and cuttings survive. They help improve the root mass, growth, and color of the plants as they grow.
  • Remember to store new containers away from direct sunlight or in areas below 135 degrees. The shelf life of the probiotics is warranted at two years.
  • Wash all exposed areas of the skin after use. Avoid contact with the probiotics with eyes or open cuts.

If you are looking to grow your own vegetables but don’t have the space to grow them in your yard, you can choose to start a container garden. Here are some vegetables that you may plant in pots:

  • Peppers are an excellent choice for your container garden. They thrive in cool, hot, and humid weather.
  • Lettuces are vegetables that live best in cooler regions. You can protect them from the heat with the help of shade cloth, fertile soil, and ample water. It is also advisable that you pick lettuce minutes before enjoying your meal.
  • Summer squashes are bush-type plants that ripen early. As the name states, this vegetable is suitable for the summer seasons and cannot tolerate the cold.
