Home plants create aesthetic beauty and refresh the interior. In addition, plants in the house bring benefits to human health. They humidify and purify the air. In order for the plants to please the eye, they need constant careful care.
First of all, for the plant you need to choose the right pot. The higher and more voluminous the trunk of the plant, the more space it needs for a comfortable existence. The most popular plastic flower utensils.
It is more durable and lighter, but if possible, it is recommended to use ceramic dishes. This is due to the fact that the root system of the plant will develop better in a pot made of natural material. The roots will breathe, and moisture stagnation will not occur. Gray-colored earthenware and black-spotted pottery should be avoided. Metal and glazed dishes are generally not intended for growing plants. Be sure to have a hole in the bottom of the pot. Otherwise, if excess moisture does not go into the pan, the plant may die.
Soil for different plants cannot match in composition. Some require clay soil, others looser. As a rule, the soil for indoor plants combines several types of soils. For spring transplantation of plants, the soil must be prepared in the fall. Each type of soil, previously cleared of debris and sifted, is stored separately, and mixed in the required proportions before planting. You can save yourself from unnecessary trouble and buy ready-made soil in the store.
Water the plant with great care. Excess moisture can only harm the root system.
It is best to use melted, rain or settled water at room temperature for irrigation. The most convenient container for watering plants is a watering can with a long spout. In addition to moistening the soil, it is necessary to wipe the dust from the flowers, spray them with water, and loosen the soil regularly. It is not recommended to place flowers in direct sunlight.
Plants need to be fertilized during the period of growth and flowering, t.e. In spring and summer. In order not to burn the root system, the plant is first watered, and then fertilizer. Specialty stores sell a variety of fertilizers that are great for houseplants.
For a long absence, so that the plants do not dry out, place them around a basin of water and stretch a rag or bandage to each pot.
