Plant Care

Caring for plants at home is a rewarding experience that adds beauty and life to your space. Here are the basics:

  1. Light: Most houseplants need bright, indirect light. Place them near a window, but avoid direct sunlight unless they’re sun-loving plants like succulents.

  2. Watering: Water plants when the top inch of soil is dry. Overwatering is a common mistake, so ensure the pot has drainage to prevent root rot.

  3. Humidity: Many plants thrive in humidity. Grouping plants together or using a humidity tray can help maintain the right moisture levels.

  4. Soil: Use well-draining potting soil. Different plants have specific needs, so make sure to use the right type for each plant.

  5. Fertilizing: Feed your plants during their growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.

  6. Pest Control: Keep an eye out for pests like aphids or spider mites. Treat them with insecticidal soap or natural remedies like neem oil.

With a little attention to these basics, your plants will thrive and bring a touch of nature into your home.
