Caring for Houseplants – Tips for Success
*this post contains affiliate links for more information check out my disclosure page here*
1)Know your plants – Make sure to pick out the right plant for the right spot in your home. Don’t buy a plant that needs a lot of shade and put it in front of the sunniest window of your home. Research the plants first before bringing them home. The internet is a tremendous resource for looking up a houseplant you may not know. I have also found this book, The Complete Guide to Houseplants
2)Be Attentive – Find time every week to check on your houseplants. I pick one day a week when I check on and water my houseplants. Most houseplants need watered just once a week and succulents even less than that. If a plant looks droopy or the soil is dry than the plant is letting you know it needs to be watered. Vice versa if a plants soil is wet or damp wait a few days to water it.
3)Keep them Looking Pretty – When a leaf or flower bud has died or is looking sad cut it off. Keep your leaves looking pretty by dusting them off.
