The climate change crisis has really made people worried about the future of the earth. Trees are being cut continuously and more space is being made for houses, factories etc. Oxygen level is decreasing. It may seem daunting to go out and plant a tree, but creating your own indoor garden is not that difficult. Not only do indoor plants help increase the level of oxygen in the house but also uplift the mood, making it green and clean. Taking care of plants grown indoors can seem like a hassle. Follow these simple and easy steps to take care of your plants indoors!
View plant positions
Make sure your houseplants get full sunlight. See how much sun your plant needs. If it needs direct sunlight, place it near a window. If it just needs a warm spot, put it in the shade but close to a window.
don’t over water your plants
It’s also important to take into account how much water your plants need. Some houseplants may need to be watered once a week while others may need to be watered twice a day. Research which plant needs how much water.
make good use of waste
Instead of throwing out the water used for soaking and cleaning fruits and vegetables, use this water on your plants. Scraps like egg shells, bananas and fruit peels, etc., can be used as compost for the plant.
de-weed the plants
The soil attracts a lot of weeds, caterpillars, insecticides, etc., which feed on the healthy plant, in turn weakening it. Make sure you remove these from your plants from time to time and keep insects away for good health.
prune plants
Every three months, trim your plants outside a bit, just as you would with your hair. Cut off large branches, get rid of dead leaves and bad twigs so that the plant has room to grow.
