Essential Plant Care Tips
Master Your Watering Schedule
Most houseplants prefer drying out between waterings.
Test soil moisture with your finger4when the top inch
feels dry, it's watering time. Succulents and cacti need
less frequent watering, while ferns and calatheas prefer
consistently moist soil.
Understand Light Requirements
Bright indirect light works for most plants. South-facing
windows provide bright light, east/west offer moderate
light, and north windows provide low light. Rotate plants
regularly for even growth, and watch for signs of light
stress.
Seasonal Care Adjustments
Fertilize during spring and summer growing seasons.
Repot when roots circle the pot's bottom, typically every
1-2 years in spring. Reduce watering and skip fertilizing
during winter dormancy when growth naturally slows.
