Essential tips to keep your indoor plants healthy and thriving
Most indoor plants prefer consistent moisture without being waterlogged. Check soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch deep.
Use room-temperature water and ensure pots have drainage holes. Water thoroughly until excess drains out.
Pro Tip
Frequency varies by plant type, season, and environment. Generally, water less in winter.
Understanding light levels helps you place plants correctly. Bright indirect light means near a window but not in direct sunbeams.
South-facing windows provide the most light, while north-facing offer gentle indirect light.
Pro Tip
Rotate plants weekly to ensure even growth. Watch for signs of too much or too little light.
Most houseplants prefer temperatures between 65-75°F during the day and slightly cooler at night.
Many tropical plants appreciate higher humidity. Group plants together or use pebble trays with water.
Pro Tip
Monitor your home's conditions and choose plants that match your environment.
Adjust your care routine throughout the year. Plants have different needs in each season, and understanding these cycles helps them thrive.
Remember
Plants are living beings that respond to seasonal changes. Observe and adapt your care accordingly.
Active growth period. Increase watering and consider repotting.
Peak growing season. Water more frequently and provide shade.
Growth slows. Reduce watering and stop fertilizing.
Dormant period. Water sparingly and avoid fertilizing.
Simple practices for plant success
Use well-draining potting mix designed for indoor plants. Repot when roots fill the container or growth slows. Spring is the best time for repotting.
Feed plants during active growth periods (spring and summer) with balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Less is more when fertilizing.
Dust leaves regularly with a damp cloth to allow proper light absorption. This also helps prevent pest issues and keeps plants looking their best.
Remove yellow or dead leaves promptly. Trim leggy growth to encourage bushier plants. Use clean, sharp scissors for pruning.
