You don’t want to overexpose or underexpose any plant. They need the right amount of light to live.
A busy work schedule, social life and general forgetfulness can lead to unintentional plant neglect. It’s okay. Some plants can handle that kind of lifestyle.
Place a saucer under your planter. When you water, let it soak in for a few hours, then toss any water that’s left on the saucer. If no water is left over, give the soil another soak.
Staying true to your plants natural environment will help your plant thrive indoors.
Keep your plant’s home environment as stable as possible.
Houseplants tend to not need fertilizer as often as outdoor plants do.
Stick with local nurseries, your local garden center, and specialty stores or florists
Show your plant a little extra attention starting out.
New plants should be repotted at some point and given fresh soil. The idea is that your plant is not swimming in soil, which may lead you to overwater.
When you move your plant to a new, larger planter, whether it’s terra cotta, ceramic, or fiber glass, make sure it has drainage, a fancy word for “hole at the bottom”.
