Potted plants are a great way to bring the beauty of the outdoors into the comfort of your own home! Unlike garden plants, potted plants last year round and need very little labor to flourish. Not only can they bring new life to your indoor space, but houseplants can also bring much needed feng shui to your interior decor. Are you ready to enhance your home with a potted plant? Here are some tips for keeping your indoor houseplants thriving for years to come!
Choose The Right Plant
Consider your space. Is your designated area full of light or shade? Dry or moist air? Every plant is different and has unique requirements to flourish. If you’re looking for a plant with little upkeep, try a Cactus, English Ivy or Peace Lily. If you have the perfect space with plenty of natural sunlight, Blooming Chrysanthemums or Pink Azaleas are the flowers for you!
Watering The Right Amount
Water and drainage is key in the success of potted plants. While too little water will dry plants out, too much water can also be fatal. We recommend you water plants in the morning with outdoor tap water. Depending on your plant, the amount you need to water will vary. A great rule of thumb is to water less often but more deeply than to water light, frequent waterings.
Plants Need Repotting
As your houseplant grows larger, roots will likely start to outgrow the pot. Don’t wait for your plant to overcrowd! See if the roots are coming through the drain hole and prepare to repot in a larger pot. If you’re not sure when to repot, check the plant every 1 to 2 years.
