Adding indoor plants to your space is a great way to give your home a fresh new feel. Plants are a great décor option that bring a bit of nature inside. However, caring for indoor plants can sometimes be a bit difficult.
Here are some of our top tips for caring for your indoor plants:
1. Choosing the right plants
Not all plants will work in every space. Some will need more light than others, so it is important to asses your space before you decide what plants to get. Spend some time researching the best plants for high light or low light areas. If you are still unsure, you can give your local nursery a call and ask an expert.
2. Choose the right pot
Pots are a great way an extra bit of décor to your space. However, you need to make sure that you have the right pot for the right plant. It is important to ensure that there is proper drainage, or it could affect the growth of your plant.
3. Keep plants in the light
With every plant that you buy, there should be a small card that tells you how to care for the plant. Be sure to follow the instructions and put plants that need a lot of sunlight in a window or by a patio door to ensure that they get enough sunlight. If you are a beginner gardener, it might be best to choose a low-maintenance plant or succulent that thrives in low light conditions.
4. Don’t move your plants around too much
Once you have found a spot for your plant, try no to move it around too much. Plants get accustom to their surroundings so moving it away from the light or into a colder room may affect its growth.
5. Use the right fertilizer and soil
As important as it is to water your plant and give it adequate sunlight, it is also important to feed it! Many plants require fertilizer. Again, this information should be on the card that comes with the plant. Also, changing up the soil can be very beneficial.
6. Prune your plant regularly
Certain plants need to be pruned at the roots to prevent overgrowth. It is also important for the health of the plant. Be sure to cut away any dead leaves or stems to allow the plant to grow.
