Basic Care for Your Houseplants

Your houseplants require an entirely different set of rules than their outdoor counterparts when it comes to everyday care. Learn the tricks of the gardening trade so that basic care turns into perky foliage and gorgeous blossoms.

Pick the Right Light

Choose direct or indirect light based on your particular plant’s needs. It’s also a good idea to periodically turn the plant in place. One side won’t always be facing the light, which helps the plant grow straight and tall. Otherwise, it might lean into the light if it’s never turned.

Be Aware of Watering Limits

Most houseplants don’t need daily watering. The soil simply doesn’t evaporate as quickly as the outdoor gardens. Watering once or twice a week is a good rule of thumb. Limit the watering even more when cooler seasons arrive.

Tend to the Soil

All houseplants will have specific, soil requirements. Research your species so that you can rest their roots in the perfect medium. Potting soil isn’t always the right choice, for instance. Some plants might demand soilless mediums, which usually includes those beautiful orchids.

Indoor plants can truly brighten up your home. Pick and choose the species carefully so that you can have many years of enjoyment. Many plants will thrive with minimal care when it’s done right.
