A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum Burning incense in plant pots

I don't do it much, but when I burn incense I usually stick it in one of my plant pots because it's quick and easy.

But I am wondering, could the ash be harmful to my plants? I have never noticed any adverse effects, but don't want to take any chances.

I've done that for years and it hasn't seemed to affect them .

Man, I tried that with my Begonias, and they were, like, "Whoa!!!" and I was, like, "WHOA!!!" It was totally AWESOME, Dude!

Thanks angelblossom, I know some types of ash are not good and ya never know what they put in that incense.

Thornius, I am totally feelin' ya dude. The only drawback is coming home and findin' all them twinkie wrappers around your plant pots...

Man, the Twinkie wrappers weren't that bad. It was, like, all the pizza boxes, man!
