Plant Care Guide

Essential tips to keep your indoor plants healthy and thriving.

Watering Basics

How Often to Water

Most indoor plants prefer to dry out slightly between waterings. Check the soil moisture before watering.

Watering Techniques

Water thoroughly until excess drains from the bottom. Avoid letting plants sit in standing water.

Light Requirements

Bright Indirect Light

Place near east or west-facing windows. Most tropical plants prefer this lighting.

Low Light

Ideal for rooms with minimal natural light. ZZ Plant and Snake Plant are great choices.

Direct Sunlight

Only certain plants can handle direct sun. Succulents and cacti are examples.

Humidity and Temperature

Optimal Humidity

Most indoor plants thrive in 40-60% humidity. Use a humidifier or pebble tray to increase moisture.

Temperature Range

Keep plants in temperatures between 65-75°F. Avoid drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Fertilizing and Repotting

When to Fertilize

Feed plants during the growing season, typically spring and summer. Use a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly.

Repotting Guidelines

Repot when roots fill the container or growth slows. Choose a pot one size larger with drainage holes.
