How to care for indoor plants?

Different plants need different temperatures, water, humidity conditions to grow. Find out how you can take care of your own plants.

Indoor plants often add to the ambience of the house and any place where they are stored. Not only do they make the area more attractive but others also clean up the interior. Plants also improve your health and help increase your concentration.

Here are the steps you can take to ensure good growth in your plants.

Water your plants regularly

* Keep the soil moist
* Either the soil is too dry or too wet, it can be a barrier to plant growth.
* In some cases, over-irrigation or over-irrigation of the plant also destroys it. Plants with green, dense leaves need more water than plants with leaves with glue or skin.
* If you notice mold formation on the ground or water standing beneath the container it means that the plant has been submerged.
* Provide water when the soil of the plant is light in color or cracked.
* Stable water can kill plants. If you see water standing in or under a pot, then pour it out.

Put your finger in the pot of the plant to explore below the area

If the soil feels moist, that’s fine. If you feel thirsty, you need to give water to the plant. The need for water varies from plant to plant. Symptoms to check:

* Aging leaves, leaf growth, loss of leaves, and soft, rotten spots indicate dehydration.
* Slow leaves, brown and dried leaves are at the edges, and the lower leaves are yellow and rounded means the plant is dehydrated.

Do not use very cold or hot water

* 68 ° F or 20 ° C is the best temperature for the water you use to irrigate your crops. The water at room temperature is best suited for plants.
* Extremely hot water can cause root damage and kill indoor plants.
* Very cold water can cause sleep on your plant, which interferes with plant growth.

Caring for your houseplant

Choose a place in your home that receives the right amount of sunlight

* The amount, time, and intensity of sunlight affect the growth of the plant.
* Keep them in a well-lit room that gives them enough light.
* Fluorescent lamps can also serve as a substitute for sunlight in some plants.
* Leafy plants need 14-16 hours of light a day.

Avoid moving your plants around

* Plants also adapt to their environment over time, so it is advisable not to overdo them.
* Do not remove your plant at a completely different temperature (dark to light).
* If you ever wish to remove a plant, try to adapt it to a new location by moving it there for an hour a day at the beginning. Continue to increase the time until it fully fits.
