Plants in the house are pleasing to the eye and maintain an optimal microclimate. The cultivation and maintenance of indoor plants must be correct. The grower should take note of the basic rules for proper care.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not flood plants. The root system requires not only moisture, but also air. Too moist soil can lead to the death of the plant.
Step 2
Provide peace. In winter, plants need to be watered less often, fed less and kept at a lower temperature than during the period of active growth.
Step 3
Accept the inevitable loss of certain species. A number of plants, often used as gifts, wither after a few weeks. Such decorative flowering plants are intended for temporary use.
Step 4
Create a humid atmosphere. Due to heating, the air in the room becomes dry during the winter season. Therefore, during this period, the humidity in the house should be increased.
Step 5
Destroy pests in time. Indoor plants are not immune to various misfortunes. Timely pest control will protect the plant and the grower's nerves.
Step 6
Group plants. The combination of plants of the same species or color in groups promotes better development. The correct grouping is to create similar conditions of detention and care.
Step 7
Transplant. After a year or two, many plants need to be transplanted into a larger pot.
Step 8
Choose the right growing conditions. Certain conditions must be suitable for the plant. So, a place on a sunny windowsill is not at all suitable for a shade-loving plant.
Step 9
Have the necessary care equipment. The grower will need a watering can with a long spout, a sprayer, a set of pots, liquid fertilizer, pest control, and other necessary tools.
Step 10
Know the peculiarities of caring for each plant. A specific plant has its own nuances in terms of conditions of detention. Therefore, you should familiarize yourself with the description of the care of each plant.
