Plants are as popular as furniture when one is deciding on soft furniture and furniture.
Apart from the aesthetic value that plants provide to your home, there are also health benefits: the school science class tells us that plants clean the air using carbon dioxide and producing more oxygen. Here is important information on how to care for your indoor plants to obtain optimal health and aesthetic benefits.
Illumination
Most indoor plants need good lighting. You can provide this through natural lighting in the room of your choice or there must be electric lighting. Plants with darker leaves usually do not need as much light as others.
Here are the varieties of plants (usually those that only require medium to low light) that are known to be suitable for indoor gardening:
- Philodendrons
- Boston Ferns
- African violets
- Cyclamen
- Fig that creeps
Watering
A common mistake that most people make in indoor gardening is that they tend to over-water the plants, which can lead to roots rotting. Be sure to research the type of plant you have, because each type of plant varies according to your irrigation needs.
Potting
Choose good quality and attractive container for your indoor plants. Make sure the pot is clean before placing your new plant on it to prevent infections and encourage healthy growth.
Humidity
In indoor gardening, humidity is a big problem. The amount of moisture in the air has an effect on the growth of the plants. During the mornings, you can sprinkle the plants with water for your much-needed moisture. Make sure the sheets are not covered with dust.
Fertilization
Like irrigation, fertilization depends on the type of plant. If you have managed to supply your indoor garden with the right amount of light, water, and moisture, fertilization may not need much attention. You can buy a good indoor fertilizer at most home supply stores or hardware stores. Orchids need the special fertilizer available.
