Most indoor plants prefer to dry out slightly between waterings. Check soil moisture by inserting your finger 1-2 inches deep - if it's dry, it's time to water. For snake plants and succulents, wait until soil is completely dry.
Light Requirements
Position your plants according to their light needs. Pothos and snake plants tolerate low light, while monsteras thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Rotate plants regularly to ensure even growth and avoid sunburn from direct rays.
Soil Selection
Choose soil mixes designed for indoor plants. Most houseplants prefer well-draining, aerated soil with some organic matter. Repot every 1-2 years to refresh nutrients and prevent root-bound conditions.
Seasonal Adjustments
Reduce watering in winter when growth slows. Increase humidity during dry seasons with pebble trays or humidifiers. Fertilize mainly during spring and summer growing seasons with a balanced, diluted fertilizer.
