From Pet and plant care


Two women who love animals realized that this is an issue for many families, so they started a business in which they visit his client twice a day to feed the animals, and keep an eye on things. For this service they charge between 5-6 per visit.

Could run the same type of business is not just out of your investment of any kind, except for a small newspaper ad and awareness. If you understand that it takes about half an hour drive to the House of someone, to feed the pets the dog, we're playing, you are on average from 10 $ to 15 $ per hour for your service.

Advantage for your clients. A responsible person, by examining their daily, pets does not have to put it in a Kennel boarding, plants do not die from lack of water, mail and newspapers asked that would-be burglars would have no idea which is none at home. So, for about US $ 4 to us $ 5 to $ 6 per day, your customers can go on vacation with a safe, that everything is looked after.

In reality you are offering a lot more than just handling pet and plants. You are providing security at home. You will find that you have a few clients, publish a word here, it will be your most important publication. And it will be free.

The two women mentioned above were full-time jobs when they started this service. But within a few months they had so many customers that they could give up their full-time, to devote all their time to work they most like, that is, the treatment of people in homes and pets. Their customers are required to keep enough food pet at home to care for animals throughout the holiday. If you bought food for pets, this must be added to the charges. You will not have problems with billing if you requested a payment before the client goes on vacation, or, at the latest, as returns on your client.

Your expenses are really just the gasoline necessary to drive a car to the client. If your service extend over weeks, as they are for customers who go away on holidays, you must inform your customers to notify the police service in their business up pet plant every day.

As your business grows, you'll find that you can hire others to service other houses. You understand that the pace of earnings of $ 4 to $ 10 per hour, you may be drawing income from a business in this space from $ 150 to $ 400 per week. And with almost no expense to you. Emphasize the service to potential customers by older people who have a great deal of experience rituals pets. Your service should be preferred many services of the child in the neighborhood. Most people will gladly pay more $ 5-10 per day to their homes have in this way, especially if you have a pet. Capacity building of boarding rates are typically 5 $ per day per pet and pet places unfamiliar setting, which cannot be compared. Prerequisite is, of course, enjoy the animals, you can give them affection, while their owner is away.

1. Put the right plant in the right place, the light level is the technology which includes consideration when placing a plant, although many houseplants are tolerant of a wide range of light conditions; Here are a few examples of plants for the light/shady extremes normally found indoors:




"The Bright sparks": Sansevieria (mother in laws tongue), Areca palm, About benjamina (weeping fig), Aloe vera, Zamiculcus zamifolia (ZZ plant).
"Shady characters: Spathiphyllum (peace lily), Kentia palm, Calathea, Philodendron (sweetheart plant), Maranta (herringbone plant).


2. Watering. Different plants have different water requirements but generally over-watering is the top of the list of maintained to kill your house plants, you can literally "kill them with kindness". Never leave plants an in a sauce of water. Number 2 on the list is under-watering. It is not possible to give specific watering instructions; It is dependent on ambient conditions and the plants requirements. As a general rule, let the compost almost dry then remove the plant from its decorative container or saucer and give it a good soak then let it drain completely before returning it. Water plants less in winter (when the light levels are low and the plants are dormant semi).


This might sound daunting but don't despair "-there is a very easy way to ensure your plants get just the water they need-use self-watering planters. The best self watering containers are also very stylish design, making the core foil for your plants and the integral water reservoir does not need topping up for up to 12 weeks-so no worries when you are away.


3. Buy quality plants. As with so many things in life, if that seems too good bargain to be true, then it probably is. Cheap plants are Often not properly rooted or non-acclimatised to "hothouse" conditions. It is best to buy from specialist suppliers who know their plants and can give expert advice both before and after you have made your purchase.


4. Things to avoid. Never place your plant near to heat sources such as radiators or fires. Keep plants away from air conditioning ducts and cold draughts.


5. Things to do. Most plants benefit from an occasional misting to compensate for the low humidity environment in most interiors. Feed occasionally with specialist houseplant fertiliser-do not use general purpose garden plant food-this is particularly which includes for palms (where a specialist palm fertiliser is recommended). Feed only during the growing season (April-713), never over the winter months.


In summary just three things will virtually guarantee the health of your house plants:


O Buy quality plants
O Put the plants in the right place
O Use self-watering containers


Interior plants need not be hard work, just follow these simple guidelines and you will enjoy a fabulous display of tropical plants for years to come.
