If you decide to install an indoor hot tub, keep in mind there are a number of common problems associated with them. Perhaps the most serious is the implication that frequent use of an indoor hot tub can cause lung problems. This is due to bacteria cultures present in the moist room becoming very fine and airborne. While this is hardly a common problem, it should be considered from the onset so you can take the steps to prevent bacteria buildup. Most of the common problems have to do with the presence of excess water which can lead to molding and ventilation issues. An indoor hot tub gives you the most privacy, but watch out for these 4 frequently occurring issues.

1. Mold and Mildew

Where there is standing hot water, there will be mold and mildew. Chlorine and other chemicals are used in the hot tub itself to ensure that bacteria do not fester in the water, but that does not prevent live cultures from growing in the droplets and small puddles of water that tend to accumulate outside of the hot tub. Each time you step out of the hot tub you take a little bit of water with you. In an indoor hot tub room, the water does not simply evaporate. Even with proper ventilation, water still stands. The best thing to do is to frequently wipe up standing water. If this means every time you use the hot tub then so be it. Not to do so means you have bacteria-laden mold and mildew growing in no time.

2. Ventilation

Another common problem is the lack of proper ventilation for your indoor hot tub. A lot of steam rises from the hot tub, and if the indoor space does not adequately vent it, not only will the interior windows and walls moisten up quickly, but it will give rise to mold and mildew in areas high up in the room. Consult with a professional hot tub installation outfit for the exact number of vents needed. It will vary depending on the size and volume of the hot tub. A motorized fan might be necessary to complement several passive vents installed towards the ceiling level.

3. Slippery Floors

This common problem is directly related to the growth of mold and mildew, although the danger is different. Standing water on and around the hot tub is a slipping hazard. Indoor hot tubs are often surrounded with decorative tile or other flooring. In order to prevent accidents, the water on the floor around the tub needs to be soaked up often, preferably after every use. The last thing you want is to relax in the hot tub and then slip on the floor after you get out.

4. Insulation and Drywall

The room needs to be adequately vented, but the walls should be insulated as well so the room itself is not chilly. A fine balance must be struck between the two, insulating and ventilating. The insulation should be moisture resistant as should the drywall of any finished walls. Make sure you use Greenboard or other moisture-proof drywall. Otherwise it will rot out after a very short time.

Taking the necessary precautions, your indoor hot tub room will be well ventilated, have walls and insulation protected from moisture rot and not present any slippage or mold and mildew problems due to standing water.

Does indoor landscaping matter? Reports say that yes, it does, to your home, to your office atmosphere and to the retail environment. Studies have shown that indoor plantings are mood enhancers, as well as health and productivity boosters. Termed “urban forests” by some professionals, these artificial environments are now being used strategically by hospitals, corporations, restaurants and shopping centers. That’s because, in addition to the physical benefits to humans, interior landscaping causes us to buy more.

That’s right: Those tall trees and spiky-looking tropical plants that you see in malls actually make you buy more stuff. Presumably, they don’t cause you to commit armed robbery if you don’t have enough money to pay for your Guccis, but studies show that retail profits do increase when the space is enhanced by greenery.

There are several reasons for our increased need to purchase durable goods in shrubbery-enhanced marketplaces. One is our collective history. Man has gathered to mingle and trade since ancient times. Somewhere between informal bartering and the concept of the department store evolved the most prevalent form of buying and selling, the street market. Well-landscaped indoor malls, according to Dr. Virginia L. Wolf, PhD, re-create this familiar atmosphere. Humans crave interaction, and since the dawn of the agora, malls are where we get it.

What Is a Typical Interior Landscape?

Not every ancient street market was located in an oasis of greenery, but that is what shoppers prefer, with consumers ranking a tree-decorated area 30% higher than a desolate, non-treed landscape. That makes people 30% more likely to stay awhile, and gives them time to pull out their wallets. It also improves the attitude of workers and visitors in office spaces.

What is it about an indoor landscape that has such a strong psychological pull? That depends on the setting. Plant designers know how to achieve a desired tone through spatial arrangement and the visual effects of different plant combinations. In a mall, for instance, plants are used to unify the many shops into one “street” of dreams. Shrubbery borders and dividers mimic the lines of real streets and walls. Flowering plants add spontaneous color, like you’d find in the bazaars of yore. Focal points lure shoppers to congregate, perhaps to discuss product quality and sale prices before a blooming bird-of-paradise.

In offices or hospitals, plants’ effects on air quality and human disposition are the priorities. A relaxed, pleasant and healing atmosphere can be achieved with tranquil natural tableaux, such as those featuring large trees, smaller shrubberies, stones and water features.

Who Needs Indoor Green Space?

Reading the previous sentence made you feel good, didn’t it? That is the motivation behind indoor landscaping in professional or institutional settings. Just being in a green space assists relaxation and scares away stress. The rise in therapeutic gardens in senior centers, hospitals and other places of high-stress activity shows that we all need places to get away from it all, even if it’s indoors.

A professional landscaper will be able to assess your needs and design an interior that provides what you want. Landscapers know how to use color, texture, space and light to achieve a specific effect. Corporations can extend their brand identities through this living calling card. Landscapers help you wow clients with unusual species and placate staff with comfortable surroundings.

If change is what you crave, seasonal displays or a rotating selection of annual flora may be available. Restaurants and retail establishments benefit by an interior design and plant service creating a new look on a regular basis. Customers have choices, and they tend to return to places that are visually interesting and that make them feel good.

The Up Side of Indoor Landscaping

Mood lifts and clean air aside, the main benefit of indoor landscaping is that it is practical—with help. Landscape designers or plant maintenance services will take full responsibility for keeping plants alive and looking great, and their growing space clean and safe for foot traffic. Knowledgeable plant care is important, especially for growing tropical or exotic species. Having trained experts in charge means you don’t have to worry about your landscape investment going south.

When the plants look good, your business looks good. Studies show that a cared-for appearance, say, in front of a store, creates an expectation in customers that the company will be well run or that products will be of high quality. This may be even more important to a professional office that relies on an image of competence and dependability.

The Down Side of Planting Indoors

Of course, you have to do it right. An image of death doesn’t sell much besides tombstones. Imagine a mall with drooping dracaenas, fainting ferns, and passed-out peace lilies. Getting the right landscape designer and ongoing support is crucial to the vibrant atmosphere you seek. Watch who you hire, and beware of doing it yourself unless you are an expert or wish to become one.

Another reason for using a maintenance service is clean-up. Plants are messy. They may drop leaves, fruit, seeds and other debris. Your watering system may leak or overflow, causing structural damage and potential safety hazards. You can keep those wild plants under control and irrigation pumping with regular plant service.

There is one more risk to creating a nice, peaceful, shady, green environment, but you can solve it by putting up a few hammocks: No one will want to go home.

Indoor plants do more than liven up a room’s décor. They circulate fresh oxygen so we can breathe easily. Indoors plants can improve mood and help you to relax after a stressful day. But, for you to reap these desirable results, your plants need proper care and attention.  There are hundreds of indoor plant species available, and many have their own unique growing needs and conditions.

To have success growing any indoor plant its important you learn all you can before you bring it home. Research can be done online by typing in the plants scientific name. A visit to a local nursery can give you accurate answers and other useful tips. Digging out plant facts early will give you an advantage when you begin to grow the plant.  Here are three things to look for.

#1 Sunlight needs: Sunlight is food for plants, therefore, find out exactly how much the plant needs for maximum growth.  It is safe to say almost all plants need some daytime sunlight to survive. Others can get by on slight sunlight.

#2 Get the soil right: Plants get most nutrients from gardening soil. Therefore, plants overall health is directly tied to the soil nutrients. Several quality soils are available at garden nurseries and home improvement center. Fresh soil has nutrients that can feed a plant for 3 months or more.

#3 Correct watering is important: Many indoor plants die because of too much or too little water.  Stick to the plant specific watering needs for best result. If your not sure, as a guideline, keep soil moist but never soggy.

A few other points: If your indoor plant leaves begin to fall off, the plant may need water.  If they appear wilted, it’s possible too much water is the culprit. Remove dead or diseased leaves so the plants energy is focused on new healthy growth.  You have great success with many plants following these three tips.

Indoor bonsai care is one of the most difficult things to ever face the normal gardener. Virtually every bonsai grower has horror stories to tell of their prized bonsai trees dying all of a sudden, even when it seemed like the tree was being cared for properly. Today I will briefly outline the main steps that need to be taken for successful indoor bonsai care so you can avoid having your bonsai trees die!

1. Watering

Watering is the most important step in indoor bonsai care. Most of the time, bonsai trees die because they are not watered properly and start to suffer from dehydration. To ensure that you are watering your bonsai tree correctly, wait for the soil to begin dry out then water until excess water comes out of the bottom of the pot. Leave the bonsai until the soil begins to dry out again, then water again. Remember that over watering your bonsai is just as bad as allowing it to dehydrate. To help prevent dehydration try to place your bonsai tree in a reasonably humid environment.

2. Pruning

The process of pruning a bonsai tree is done two different ways. There is “branch pruning” and “root pruning”. Branch pruning should occur near the start of spring and you should select which branches you want to keep and then remove all others. Root pruning should occur once the bonsai’s roots have become bound in the container.

3. Soil and fertilizer

Seeing as up to half of a bonsai tree is covered in soil it makes sense to pick the right soil to give optimum growth. Bonsai trees should be given a water soluble fertilizer either once or twice a month during the growing season and you should remember that bonsai trees need to have their fertilizer applied when the soil is wet.

4. To sum up

In this brief article I have covered the three most basic aspects of indoor bonsai care and growing good bonsai trees. There are more advanced techniques for growing bonsai trees out there, however, it is important to start with the basics first! Only once you have mastered these and can successfully grow a great looking bonsai tree should you start practicing more advanced techniques!
