Indoor plants need proper care to stay green, beautiful and healthy.

So if you find that they are not growing or are starting to turn yellow, you are probably doing something wrong.

Let’s see them most frequent mistakes in the care of indoor plants:

Water

Most indoor plants do not need a lot of water. In fact, they are needed once a week or even every 10 days. You will know that you are overwatering your plant when you see leaf drop, mold growth, yellowing of the lower and inner leaves.

Wrong point

You may not have thought that houseplants need their space too. For example they need light but not direct sunlight. Find out if your plant thrives in direct or partial sunlight and find a spot in your home where it is suitable.

Temperature

One of the most common mistakes people make is putting a plant directly in the window. But in summer the temperature is excessive and in winter quite low. Therefore you should ensure the appropriate and stable temperature for your plant.

Transplantation

All indoor plants should not be repotted in larger pots. For example, if the plant has shallow roots, it is a sign that it should remain in its original pot for at least another six months to a year. Once its roots have grown, it’s time to replant. Also, the large amount of soil in the large pot can hold too much water, causing the roots to rot.
