General plant care tips

πŸ’§

Watering

Most plants die from overwatering rather than underwatering. Always check the soil before watering β€” stick your finger an inch into the soil and only water if it feels dry.

β˜€οΈ

Light

Bright indirect light suits most houseplants. Direct sun can scorch leaves, while too little light causes leggy, pale growth. A spot a metre from a south-facing window is usually ideal.

πŸͺ£

Drainage

Always use pots with drainage holes. Sitting in waterlogged soil causes root rot, which is one of the most common causes of plant death. Empty saucers after watering.

🌱

Feeding

Feed your plants with a liquid fertiliser every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer when they're actively growing. Hold off in autumn and winter when growth slows down.

🌑️

Temperature

Most houseplants prefer stable temperatures between 15–25Β°C. Keep them away from cold draughts, radiators, and air conditioning units which can cause stress and leaf drop.

πŸͺ΄

Repotting

Repot when roots start growing out of drainage holes or the plant dries out very quickly after watering. Spring is the best time to repot into a pot one size larger.
