Author Garden: OH NO!!!!!!! badplanter Garden Pro! Member # 10062 posted                       I think i just did the WORST possible thing I could do to my houseplants...every one of them! That includes a jade, an aloe, a prickly pear, an Amaryllis, my wonder egg seeds, lucky bamboo, and lots more... I've been watering them with a... windex spray bottle... I thought it was washed out REALLY good, but I sprayed some on my hand today, and I 'detected' slight traces of windex in the water.. I've been watering everything with that for 5 days or so, and have not seen anything bad happening to them, other than my wonder eggs not sprouting yet, but I think that's normal... DID I KILL MY PLANTS!!! * * * * "I don't want no more of army life, gee mom, I wanna go, but they won't let me go, gee mom, I wanna go home!" My PB!

In an aquarium - ammonia would be turned in to nitrates for the plants by the process of the nitrosamine digesting the waste of fish that turned in to ammonia. They should live. My house plants did great when I did a water change on a few 35 gallon fish tanks. * * * * The infinitesimally small seed that produces the giant is the winner Clive Webmaster of The Writers Voice http://www.writers-voice.com Plants: 68 | From: Calgary | Registered: Dec 2006  |  Seeded: 204.191.171.51 dodge Garden Pro!
