Indoor plants care
How to take care of your houseplants? Currently, in a lot of houses there is a growing interest in indoor plants. In the gray monotony of the big cities, they represent nature but as their natural environment is being outdoors, we do not have to forget that they require natural environment, light, adequate temperature and ventilation, adequate humidity, water and nutrients. Summer and winter are the best seasons to buy the indoor plants since these seasons are the most extreme and some plants do not resist them.
Actually, it is difficult to decide what are the indoor plants since there is not scientific classification for this. There are not plants either that are better in the interior of a house but some of them can resist inside. If you are not sure, better ask a specialist what are the most adequate plants to keep inside your house and what are their necessities.
Some examples of the plants that can be adapted better in the indoor can be found in the article written by B.Rosie Lemer about the indoor horticulture called: Indoor Plant Care
As for the care of the plants there are some suggestions:
1) Light
Light is essential to keep an indoor plant. However, if you expose them to too much light the leaves become yellow and on the contrary, if the light is too little, the leaves will wither. Thus, the best option is to expose them to a constant light in all the parts of the plant. In winter can be closer to the window and summer can be a bit further for example.
2) Humidity
If they have lack of humidity, it will become yellow. To solve this problem we can spray the foliage daily with pure water or if you can’t, you can sink the pot in peat moss as it keeps them with humidity.
3) Temperature
It is also important not to place the plants in very hot places such as radiators, fireplaces or window sills during summer time since the plant will not resist such temperatures.
4) Nutrients
All plants need three nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and beside this a good fertilizer can be essential to keep them alive.
