Caring for Houseplants
5 expert tips for caring for your houseplants
You definitely don’t need any in-depth knowledge to successfully care for houseplants. All it takes is some loving care and a few simple rules to keep your houseplants looking beautiful and thriving all year round.
1. Location
Most of our houseplants prefer a bright spot, except for ferns, which can thrive even in a darker spot. Also, make sure they aren’t exposed to constant, direct sunlight, as this can cause the leaves to scorch.
2. Watering
It is best to water the plant with rainwater (which contains less lime) at room temperature. The soil should be slightly moist, but make sure the roots are not sitting in standing water, as this could cause them to rot. The plant needs more water during the summer months than in the winter.
3. Houseplant Fertilizer
Houseplants should be fertilized during their growing season, which runs from spring through fall. In winter, the plant is dormant and does not need any additional fertilizer. The Ecoworld bottle clearly indicates exactly how much the plant needs.
4. Maintain proper humidity levels
If the air in your home is too dry, the plant may dry out or the leaves may start to discolor. If you notice that your plants are suffering from this, you can occasionally mist them with a plant sprayer.
5. Repotting
It’s important to repot the plant every now and then. The best time to do this is in the spring, when the plant starts growing again. Repotting is necessary for several reasons: the fresh soil provides the plant with new nutrients, the extra potting mix allows the plant to retain more water, and you’ll notice that the plant will grow faster. Always repot carefully to minimize damage to the roots.
