4 Things You Need To Know About Keeping Houseplants Healthy

Creating an indoor oasis in your home is something that will require a lot of work. The first thing you need to do to create this oasis is to get rid of all of the clutter in your home. Usually, decluttering will lead to a lot of waste being created. Hiring a house clearance London service is the best way to get rid of this rubbish in a timely manner. After this trash is gone, you need to think about adding a few plants throughout your home. While keeping a plant alive indoors may sound like an easy task, it is anything but. Without the right amount of care, these houseplants will wither and die. The following are some of the things you need to know about keeping houseplants healthy.

1. Choose Plants That Can Survive in Indoor Lighting

The first thing you need to do when trying to put plants into your home is research what type of plants can survive in indoor lighting. The last thing you want to do is to rush through this selection process due to the problems it can cause later on down the line. For homes that are particular dark and shady, choosing plants like cacti is a bad mistake due to their love of the sun. If you are unsure about what type of plants are best suited for your home, then consulting with a local nursery is a great idea. They will be able to take into consideration the needs you have and then recommend the right plants to fit those unique needs.

2. Pay Attention to the Plant’s Appearance

Taking the time to inspect the plants that you have in place in your home is a great way to gauge their overall level of health. When inspecting the plants, the first place you need to look is the soil. If there is still a lot of moisture the day after you have watered a plant, you have made a mistake. Reducing the amount of water you use is essential to fix this type of issues. If the soil is very dry, then you need to increase the amount of water you are using. Another thing you need to check during your inspection is whether or not your plant is growing. Do you see new leaves and shoots? If not, your plant may need a bit more TLC to stay healthy.

3. Make Sure You Choose the Right Location

Making sure you choose the right location for your indoor plants is also very important. Ideally, you will need to keep your plants away from very hot, drafty or cold areas in the home. If you put your plant in a space with direct sunlight, be sure to keep an eye on it. When the leaves of the plant appear to be drying out, you will need to move it out of the direct sunlight. Periodically, you will also need to check the soil at the bottom of a plants pot. If the soil look compacted, it is due to the roots being coiled up. In instances like this, investing in a bigger pot for your plant is the best course of action.

4. Check On Your Plants Daily

Some people think that they can check in on their indoor plants once a month and keep them healthy. The fact is that indoor plants will need to be checked daily for signs of growth or trouble. If you feel as if you don’t have the time to invest in this type of maintenance, indoor plants may not be for you. The time and effort that is spent maintaining these plants will be worth it considering how healthy it will make them.

With indoor plants, you can increase the beauty and the air quality on the inside portion of your residence.
