While indoor plants are some of the toughest around, able to withstand weeks of neglect, they’re not indestructible. In any home or smaller space, it’s best to pay attention every now and then and care for them. Here are five simple tips to make your indoor condo plants grow at the Aurelle of Tampines.
Get to Know Your Indoor Plant
A quick search on the web will reveal details about the plant you have in your home, including its common name, which family it’s from, and of course, care requirements to keep it happy and thriving.
Light Requirements
Every plant, including the low-light ones, will need some form of energy throughout the day. After understanding this, you can then look around for a suitable spot for it. Indoor plants that need a lot of natural light can be placed on windows and terraces, while low-light plants can be placed in darker areas or even the bathroom.
Watering Requirements
Follow the watering requirements to the letter if you want your indoor plants to live long. Over-watering is one of the most common mistakes new plant owners make. However, the reality is that most indoor varieties can survive a week or two without having a drink. Some may need their leaves cleaned to stay presentable.
Choose the Right Place
Plant placement is important for a plant’s humidity and light needs. As a rule of thumb, you can start by thinking about where you’d like larger plants before turning your attention to the smaller ones.
Remember to Care for Them
Last but not least, follow through consistently with your indoor plants to keep them happy. You can set a reminder on your smartphone, or whenever you pass by them in the kitchen or bathroom. A quick trim every few months should make them neat and tidy.
