It’s impossible to imagine a cozy home without houseplants: they bring life to our surroundings and delight the eye. Plants are “our green friends” for a reason. Caring for them will not take you much time, especially if you follow the recommendations that we offer in this article with the top 10 rules for the care of indoor plants. <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The plant should match the size of the room. <\/b>When choosing a plant, pay attention to its size. Large plants have no place in a small room. Small ones can be placed on a window sill or on a shelf – place green giants in a spacious living room, where they will be comfortable! <\/li>\n
  2. The plant needs light. <\/b>Sunlight is essential for all life on earth and houseplants. houseplants are no exception.<\/b><\/span><\/a> are no exception. But ultraviolet rays, when they strike directly, could harm certain species, so place them strategically. And also keep in mind that many plants only need “some” light. Shade-loving plants will do just fine in semi-darkness, and for light-loving beauties, prepare a south-facing windowsill. <\/li>\n
  3. The right temperature is a guarantee of health.<\/b> Not only are we shivering in the cold, it is also vital that our flowers receive sufficient warmth, especially since most plants came to us from other milder climates. Therefore, try to avoid cold air indoors and, in winter, keep the temperature within reasonable limits. <\/li>\n
  4. Moisture is the basis of plant life. <\/b>The Adequate watering is as important for houseplants as is light.<\/b><\/span><\/a>as much as light. Plants should be watered with weather water. Excess liquid should flow freely through the drainage hole of the pot. <\/li>\n
  5. Do not forget to spray the leaves. <\/b>Not only the roots of the flowers need water, but also the green part of the plant. Spray the plant as needed. In winter, you should carry out the procedure more often, because the air is much drier. And you can also arrange a real bath for the plant, pouring it with a generous stream of water. <\/li>\n
  6. Find suitable substrate.<\/b> The composition of the soil should be selected individually for each type of plant. You can make a suitable mixture by yourself, but you can also come to ROOTS GARDEN<\/b><\/span><\/a> and we will advise you with the ideal soil time according to the plant you have. The soil can be alkaline, neutral or acid. The soil must allow the passage of water and oxygen and absorb moisture well. <\/li>\n
  7. Transplant plants as needed.<\/b> With good care, the plants will grow and develop. Their root system will also grow, so it is necessary to transplant them to a larger container in a timely manner. Sometimes a transshipment is preferable to a transplant. In this case, the plant is removed from the pot along with a clod of soil and placed in a large container. <\/li>\n
  8. Protect pets from pests.<\/b> Even if you regularly care for your plant, there is a risk of pests appearing on its leaves. If you notice that unwanted guests have attacked them, you should get rid of all the affected areas of the plant and then eliminate any pests with some of the best phytosanitary products for gardens<\/b><\/span><\/a> we have at ROOTS<\/b><\/span><\/a>. <\/li>\n
  9. Soil removal is an essential element of care. <\/b>Not all plant growers remember that plants need to have their soil turned regularly. This facilitates the process of getting moisture and oxygen into the soil. If you forget this, try inserting a wooden stick in each pot to remind you of the importance of stirring the soil. <\/li>\n
  10. Love and attention.<\/b> Houseplants need your attention and care. You should not only water them, but also remove dried flowers and leaves, remove the substrate, arrange light and shade sessions. Remember to wipe the dust with a damp cloth. And if the plant tends to fall, act immediately through a support that allows it to stand upright. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
