Take Good Care of your plants:
Plants need constant care, consistent watering, feeding schedule, consistent light and temperature. Another thing you can take care for your plants is; by giving them a stable environment. Removing dead leaves and flowers, wiping plants leaves from dust will keep them happy and healthy.
Art of watering:
Plants would die if they are over or under water. Now the question is HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? Every Plant differ from each other therefore how much water is required depends upon the type of pot and humidity at home. Although plastic pot can retain more humidity than ceramic.
If you are not confident about the moisture retain in the pot, purchase a humidifier or a moisture meter, stuck in soil.
Feeding:
The way you feed your infants, you have to feed your plants also. Since indoor plants can only feed from their soil in pot, so it is crucial that regular fertilizing in necessary to maintain health of your plants. Over feeding your plants can make your plant sick, I would recommend to purchase a multi purpose fertilizer.
Repotting:
If the root of the plant are growing out from the drainage hole or getting coiled around the edge, then its the time to re-pot your plant.
Finally I am proud to say; Indoor gardening is a love affair with my plants, where i cannot live without them. It is an art for you interior designing project, or it can be integral part of purification system of you home. Every garden lover can have there own reason, but there is always a reason to have a houseplant in your house.................. Love green.....
