Growing The Popular Ornamental Grass
Ornamental grasses have become extremely popular in the past ten years or so, and if you buy them at a garden center they are kind of pricey. Learning how to grow them yourself is actually quite easy. They can be grown from seed, but I won’t pretend to be an expert at that for several reasons.

Growing Daylilies – Propagation & Wintering Over
Propagation
Once you’ve tried growing even a few daylilies you’re bound to want more. The best way to propagate daylilies is through division; it can be a bit of a task, but the results make it worth the effort. Not only will you have new daylilies for your garden, the clumps you divide will enjoy renewed health and vigor.
After a few years, most established clumps of daylilies need to be divided. This can be done in either spring or fall. The advantage of dividing in the spring is that the ground is usually soft and easy to work, the plants are in a growth period and will recover quickly, and there isn’t a lot of foliage to deal with so you can see what you’re doing.

Growing Inside, Outside, Hydroponically and in Soil
The advantages of growing in soil indoors
The difference here is similar to the difference between indoor and outdoor cultivation. Soil growing requires less equipment, investment and, generally, less work to control the various factors influencing growth.
The only specialist equipment required for the simplest indoor soil set-up would be seeds, organic nutrients, a light and a timer. The remaining equipment – soil, pots, fans, reflective materials and such should be easily available in most countries.
As an organic compound, soil is less sensitive to changes and small variations than a synthetic medium like rockwool. It could be called a self-regulating environment. Thus, pH testing equipment is usually not required.
