The best house plants are those with attractiveness and ease of maintenance, as well as being able to grow successfully. With a little bit of tender loving care, houseplants can become a pleasure instead of a mystery.
So here’s a basic need you should follow to make your house plant healthier:
Light:
Indoor houseplant care requires a lot of Light. To ensure that your houseplant gets the right amount of highlight, make sure that the plant is visible in the right place where it gets light.
Houseplants require high, medium, or low Light. Additional Light is needed for houseplants, whether direct (bright) Light or indirect Light.
Water:
It is essential to provide water to houseplants when they are growing. The general rule of thumb is to only water a houseplant when the soil feels dry on top.
Watering a houseplant this way is recommended for most indoor plants. However, a few houseplants, mostly succulents & cacti, require only occasional watering, while others require constant watering.
Fertilizer:
Fertilizer in terms of houseplant maintenance, there are two types of fertilizers available. The first is through water, and the second is through slow-release fertilizer.
Choosing which method is best for you is a personal preference. Each works well. For water fertilization, you will add a water-soluble fertilizer to the plant's water about once a month in warm weather and once every two months in cooler weather.
Humidity:
Most plants thrive in high humidity; plants like ferns demand it. Unfortunately, our homes are usually very dry compared to the outside air.
To combat this problem, place a tray or saucer under your houseplants and fill it with pebbles. Add water until it’s just below the top of the pebbles.
As the water evaporates, it will increase the humidity level around the plant. Misting your plants daily is also very good.
Cleaning:
Taking off dead and dying leaves and cutting brown tips off of leaves will help your plant stay nice looking. The farther back you cut your plant, the fuller it will become.
Plants breathe through their leaves, so keep them dust-free. This means wiping the leaves off with a damp rag or setting the whole plant in the shower.
Just be careful that the shower spray doesn’t dislodge and wash away the potting soil.
