If you have been thinking for a long time about decorating your home with indoor plants, then first you need to remember the simple and universal rules for caring for them.

Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, provided more details.

Light

Good lighting plays an important role. Normal growth and development of the flower will not happen without it. You can put a flower rack near the window or use the windowsill, attach hangers.

If the sun is rarely visible in the house, then you need to use phytolamps.

Watering

All plants need watering. But it is important to remember that each flower needs a different amount of water.

For example, abundant watering will be appreciated by plants with well-developed roots and a large number of leaves. Also, those crops that are in the growth phase require more water.

Before the procedure, you need to take into account that the soil is dry. It is dangerous to overwater the plants, otherwise it can lead to root rot.

Fertilizers

If all care conditions are met, the flower withers and its leaves turn yellow, then you should think about feeding.

Most often, indoor plants need additional nitrogen, potassium or phosphorus supplements.
