If you have
a limited amount of light indoors, consider growing arrowhead vine, chinese
evergreen, philodendron, pothos or snake plant.
Thick, dark
leaves are good indicators that a plant will tolerate low light conditions.
The ideal
humidity for plants ranges between 35 and 65 percent. Humidity levels
are linked to temperatures, with moisture more rapidly lost at higher
temperatures.
To minimize
fungal disease and insect problems, allow room for air circulation if
plants are grouped together.
Cacti and
succulants are the best choice for locations in direct sun all day.

Wild Heaven
Farm has been in business for 5 years and is located in Chesterfield County.
Mary Kroll raises two different breeds of dairy goats.
This family
of 8 - 10 goats is used primarily for the production of milk to be used
in making soap.
Wild Heaven
Farm soaps use fresh, pasturized goats milk, with no colorants, no preservatives,
no animal based oils and no alcohol. Each bar is 21.5% goat milk.
Goat milk
is chemically very compatible with human skin and helps your skin retain
its own moisture. |
