Indoor Plants – Start Growing Pot Plants
These days, growing potted plants in the comfort of your living room has become quite popular. Aside from the beauty plants provide your home with; there are also health benefits – plants purify the air through using the carbon dioxide we breathe out and providing oxygen for us to breathe in. This article contains some information for helping you to get the maximum benefits indoor houseplants will give you.
Lighting
Most indoor plants need good lighting. You can provide this through natural lighting in the room of your choice. However, there are special “grow lights” which you can use, lights which are specifically manufactured for growing pot plants. They imitate the natural sunlight, and do it rather well. Dark leaved plants usually don’t need as much light as others.
Here are some examples of houseplants you can grow that only require meduim to low levels of light:
a. Philodendrons
b. Devil’s Ivy
c. Creeping Fig
d. African Violets
e. Cyclamens
These should be available at most flower stores or nurseries. Don’t limit your choices to only these, though; feel free to choose whatever plant you think will look nice in your home. However, look for all the information possible on the plant you pick, so you can care for it properly.
Watering
A common mistake most people make in growing pot plants is that they tend to over-water the plants, which may lead to rotting roots. But take care not to under-water, or the leaves will get brown and dry, and start to suffer from withering. Be sure to research the kind of plant you have, since each kind of plant varies.
Potting
Choose good quality and nice-looking containers for your pot plants. Make sure that the pot is clean before placing your new plant into it to prevent infection and to encourage healthy growth.
Humidity
In houseplant gardening, humidity is a big issue. The amount of moisture in the air has a huge effect on the growth of the plants. In the mornings, you can spray the plants with a spray bottle for their much-needed moisture. Be sure to avoid having the leaves covered with dust.
Fertilizing
Like watering, fertilizing depends on the type of plant. If you have can grow your potted plant with the correct amount of water, light and humidity, fertilization may not need as much attention. A good indoor plant fertilizer can be bought from most hardware stores or gardening centers. Pick a fertilizer that drains well, and is nutrient rich. This is quite helpful when growing your potted plant.
