They help in purifying the air, improving health conditions and many more things.\u00a0The amount of purpose they serve to us it\u2019s equally important for us to look after them in order to keep them alive and healthy.\u00a0By taking caring of them means they would require a healthy environment to grow in like their water requirements, soil conditions, etc. Different plants may require different growing conditions so it\u2019s important for you to know everything about the plant you plan on putting inside your house.<\/p>\n

To guide you through on how to take care of your indoor plants, we have made a list of some easy ways to do so. Read on to know how.<\/p>\n

Watering them is a necessity<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Just like us humans plants would not be able to thrive without water for a longer period. The healthy growth of plants highly depends on their water level. So it\u2019s extremely important to consistently water them, only when required. With that, it\u2019s also important to water them the right way as overwatering can damage the roots of the plant which in turn would hinder its growth.\u00a0Plants with thick, lush leaves require more water than the plants with leathery or waxy leaves. Read all the general requirements of the plant beforehand while purchasing\u00a0any of them.<\/p>\n

Remember, the key to achieving a healthy plant is to keep the soil moist and not wet.<\/p>\n

Provide them with adequate sunlight<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Plants come in all different types with different\u00a0living\u00a0conditions, some are sun-loving while some prefer to stay in dark. It\u2019s important for us to determine what conditions they prefer to grow in. however, most of the plants require sunlight to perform photosynthesis which is an essential step to further their growth and development. From intensity to duration of sunlight, everything affects a plant\u2019s growth. Putting them in direct sunlight may burn the leaves, so place them in a spot where they can get indirect light like a well lit-up room.<\/p>\n

Pruning is important<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pruning the stem, branches, and roots of the plant is an important step\u00a0for\u00a0easy penetration of sunlight, structural growth, and increased air movement.\u00a0Certain plants require their roots to be pruned every once in a while as they have the tendency to outgrow their pots or vase due to uncontrollable growth.<\/p>\n

So to maintain a healthy growth, prune your plants regularly by getting rid of dead stems and branches that can attract bugs very easily.<\/p>\n

Feed them with nutrient-rich fertilizers<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Plants need all the nutrients required for their healthy growth. They either get it from\u00a0the\u00a0potting soil or the fertilizers which we feed to them. If they don\u2019t get it in\u00a0a\u00a0sufficient amount, there are very high chances of them getting killed. They require a great amount of phosphorous, nitrogen and potassium to be able to grow thick and large.\u00a0So feed them every once in a while and you are good to go.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t move them around a lot<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Plants may take it slow getting adapted to their surroundings, but once they get familiar with it they start growing in such living conditions. Changing their spot often can create a negative impact on their growth which can also result in them getting killed. So it\u2019s always wise to place them in a spot which is suitable for their growth.<\/p>\n

If\u00a0you wish to move a plant at some new place, take it slow by placing the plant in that spot for 1 hour per day. With time you can increase the time\u00a0limit\u00a0for it to be able to get well adapted to the surroundings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
