How to grow indoor plants at home

1. Suitable light

When growing plants indoors, the first thing to pay attention to is providing appropriate light. Many plants cannot grow without light. Because the light indoors is not too strong, there is no need to worry about direct light burning the plants, so just choose the brightest place to place it. For plants that have particularly high light requirements, if the light is insufficient, artificial lighting can be added.

2. Appropriate amount of water

For plants grown indoors, whether to water them can be determined based on the dryness or wetness of the potting soil. You can use a moisture meter to measure the soil, which is more scientific. Water evenly and keep the water temperature appropriate, which should be similar to the indoor temperature. For hygiene reasons, you can place a plate or mat at the bottom of the flower pot to prevent moisture from staining the floor.

3. Appropriate amount of fertilizer

Generally speaking, newly purchased plants do not need to be fertilized within a year because the substrate contains relatively rich nutrients. You can supplement it in moderation afterwards. Slow-release fertilizer is more effective, but don't use too much. Do not apply fertilizer to any plant when it is dormant.

4. Suitable temperature

Generally speaking, the indoor temperature is more suitable for plant growth. Unless there are varieties that have special requirements for temperature, you need to pay attention to regulation. It should be noted that the room temperature in summer and winter should be adjusted appropriately so as not to affect the growth of the plants.

5. Proper ventilation

When growing plants indoors, ventilation is very important. Especially when it is very hot in summer, ventilation can also have a cooling effect. Even in winter, some ventilation is needed, but it should be done at noon when the weather is warm.
