Promising review: "My houseplants have never looked better! 🌿 TPS Indoor Plant Food has completely transformed my indoor plants! This liquid fertilizer is super easy to use and delivers noticeable results quickly. Within just a couple of weeks, my potted houseplants looked greener, fuller, and much healthier overall. I love that it mixes easily with water and doesn’t have a strong, unpleasant smell. It’s gentle enough for regular use but powerful enough to boost growth and revive plants that were struggling. I’ve used it on everything from pothos and snake plants to peace lilies, and they’ve all responded beautifully. If you want an easy, effective way to keep your indoor plants thriving year-round, this is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend for any plant parent! 🌱" —KittyBlinky

Promising review: "I absolutely love this! I have used it to plant strawberries, lemon balm, English ivy, creeping Jenny, cauliflower on top, lavender, oregano, and parsley. It hooks together easily, and it can be taken apart if you have to move it. It normally stays outside; however, we are having a winter freeze right now, so I had to bring it in. I am constantly sending the link to my friends and family because they love it also." —Cynthia Stoker

Promising review: "This is one of my favorite tools that I’ve gotten since I’ve started gathering and caring for indoor plants. The moisture meter has definitely shown me the error of my ways, and I’m learning from those mistakes! The light meter has come in handy recently, now that my area is starting to stay warm enough to leave plants outside. Not only is it super handy, but it’s also a great learning tool. Highly recommend!" —Brittany Leigh

Promising review: "These are great for plants! I have three five-gallon geranium plants that don't like to get wet. For the last couple of years, I was lugging them around back and forth on the patio. What a relief for my back that I don't have to do that anymore. The trays are sturdy and deep enough that water doesn't come out all over the ground, either. I like the wheel locking feature in case I want them to stay in place, and the maneuverability of them is great." —Cheryl

Promising reviews: "Whenever you're dealing with plants that absolutely need a high acidic level, such as mountain laurels, and you need that soil to be quickly fixed, Earth Science delivers. Nobody wants to buy a plant for $50+ and then watch it die for something as easy to fix as the pH level. When dealing with citrus, hydrangeas, rhododendron, azaleas, and mountain laurel, I always have fast-acting sulfur and lime to adjust quickly. Highly recommended." —Beegirl950

"I moved to a house with a struggling hydrangea and was new to gardening. I got it to look nicer, but it didn’t flower for two years. I put this on them in the third year, and they did great. I was able to provide florals for an event and still have a very bushy hydrangea full of beautiful blue flowers." —Shannon

Promising review: "This little book is perfect for a coffee table, while also being so helpful! I love how quick and to the point it is (with a plant on each page and what's best for it clearly laid out). The pictures are beautiful, and I was able to find almost all of my houseplants in this book (somehow, pothos isn't included even though it's a popular plant!). Would recommend as an easy and quick reference/guide!" —Sabrina

Promising review: "I used this potting mix to plant 34 pepper plants from seed, and the results have been fantastic. The quality of the soil has really helped them grow, providing a strong start with healthy root development. It has no odor, which is really nice, and a fine texture that is perfect for small seeds, and it maintains the right amount of moisture without letting the soil get waterlogged. I was concerned about its appearance and consistency when I first opened the bag, since I'm not used to such a fine texture, but the way it has helped support my pepper plants has been great! The addition of organic plant food keeps the seedlings nourished without burning the tender roots. It is a reliable, high-quality mix to start vegetable containers or seed trays." —Susan Brady Carr

Promising review: "This stuff is great. I wish I had known about this coconut-derived soil a long time ago for my house plants. But the awesome part is that it could be dehydrated, compressed into a brick, packaged, and shipped like that. It saves quite a bit of weight from needing to be transported. Some of the reviews (more so on some other brands) mention issues with reconstituting the bricks into a full amount of soil. I had none of these problems, and it was remarkably simple to do. I followed the directions, measured out the water, and made sure to use warm (filtered) water. The brick instantly sprang to life once I poured the water on it (I used a 5-gallon bucket for one brick, and that seemed just right). It took no further work on my part; the brick grew and separated out perfectly until it was just all fluffy soil. No dehydrated brick chunks or excess water remained. I'm definitely ordering more for other potting I need to do." —Strangers With Candy

Promising review: "I have just received my mini indoor thermometers, and I am amazed by the quality. They are a very nice sturdy plastic and heavy, and very accurate. The digital numbers are also large, so they're very easy to read, as you can see in the pic. I ordered the six-pack, and for the price I paid, I am truly impressed. Highly recommend!!" —Pierre Bilodeau

Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for a gardener in my life. She loves it! It's easy to grip with a nice, solid handle. It's heavyweight. It's just right for potting plants. The blade at the edge isn't so sharp that you could cut yourself on it, but just sharp enough to break through the dirt. It's a great value for the money. The handle grip is made of a good mixture of plastic/rubber. I would recommend." —AlienBeliever

Promising review: "EXCELLENT product! As a gardener, knowing how often we use seed trays and start seeds, having a reusable product is critical. These are STURDY and hold up very well." —Leslie Hileski
