Don’t think it’s the rule that all plants thrive in a very sunny spot. In fact, there are some houseplants which love a dark corner and will thank you for it.
Your houseplant will let you know when it’s you when unhappy. Look out for these signs, if it’s in a spot that’s too bright, its leaves will get scorched. And if it’s not getting enough light, their foliage will turn a deep green as they are searching for light.
The most common mistake people make is giving plants too much water. The majority of plants, except for succulents and cacti which only need to be watered once or twice a month, will thrive on a weekly water.
If the top layer of your soil feels dry, then it’s time to water your plants
All houseplants require a little clean to keep them looking their best and to help them remain healthy. Simply wipe their leaves with a damp cloth to remove any dust..
Your houseplants will need to be repotted maybe once a year depending on growth. A simple way to check whether your plant needs to be repotted is to check the drainage hole, and if its roots are starting to come through, then it is time to repot.
Sounds like a bit too much work? Start off with succulents, they are happy to be left alone apart from the odd water and being placed in a sunny spot
Try displaying your plants in groups of three or five and mix up the textures, shapes, sizes and colours. Small plants look great displayed like this; whilst larger leafy houseplants create real impact in a room when sat alone.
Make sure your plant is shown off to its best with a pot that complements your room.
