Master these fundamentals for healthy, thriving plants
Know your plant: Different plants have different water needs. Research your specific plant's requirements.
Check soil moisture: Stick your finger 1-2 inches into the soil. If it's dry, it's time to water.
Water thoroughly: Water until it drains from the bottom, then empty the saucer to prevent root rot.
Seasonal adjustment: Most plants need less water in winter when growth slows.
Understand light levels: Bright indirect means near a window but not in direct sun. Low light means away from windows.
Rotate regularly: Turn your plants weekly so all sides receive equal light and grow evenly.
Watch for signs: Yellow leaves often indicate too much light, while leggy growth suggests too little.
Seasonal changes: Light intensity changes with seasons - adjust plant placement accordingly.
Ideal temperature: Most indoor plants prefer 65-75°F during the day and slightly cooler at night.
Increase humidity: Group plants together, use a pebble tray, or mist regularly for tropical plants.
Avoid drafts: Keep plants away from heating vents, air conditioners, and drafty windows.
Monitor conditions: Use a hygrometer to track humidity levels in your space.
Regular inspection: Check leaves (top and bottom) weekly for signs of pests like aphids or spider mites.
Early intervention: Isolate affected plants immediately and treat with natural solutions like neem oil.
Clean leaves: Wipe leaves monthly with a damp cloth to remove dust and prevent pest infestations.
Quarantine new plants: Keep new additions separate for 2 weeks to prevent introducing pests.
Overwatering: Most common cause. Allow soil to dry between waterings.
Nutrient deficiency: Feed with balanced fertilizer during growing season.
Low humidity: Increase humidity with pebble tray or humidifier.
Chemical sensitivity: Use filtered or distilled water if tap water contains high minerals.
Environmental stress: Sudden changes in light, temperature, or location can cause leaf drop.
Natural shedding: Some plants naturally drop lower leaves as they grow taller.
Insufficient light: Move to brighter location or supplement with grow lights.
Needs repotting: Roots may be pot-bound - repot into slightly larger container.
