Answer to Question 1

Slow release fertilizer differs from soluble fertilizer in that it is in the form of small,
plastic-coated beads that dissolve over a period of time when applied to the soil mixture.
This gives the plant nutrients slowly and steadily over time because it plant absorbs the
released nutrients as needed. Soluble fertilizer is a liquid or solid that is applied
periodically to house plants



Answer to Question 2

Different ways to water indoor plants include drench/let dry; drench/let dry slightly;
and keep medium constantly moist.
