Indoor Plants Care: Important Tips for Helping Your Indoor Plants Grow Better

Gardening today is not just confined to the outdoor space in your lawn. There is this concept of indoor gardening that is fast catching up. Just as an outdoor gardener has to learn the basics of gardening before he/she can start growing his/her favorite plants, similarly there are a few rules of indoor gardening that every gardening enthusiast should familiarize himself with. In this article we shall explore the ways and methods which can help indoor plants grow better.

Lighting Requirements

Indoor plants often cannot stand strong blazing sunlight while there are others which cannot thrive in low light conditions. And then there are indoor plants which prefer low light and shady cool places. You have to identify the needs of each type of plant. Many experienced gardeners feel that natural light can be replaced by artificial lighting to benefit the growth of indoor plants.

Plants with low light requirements can be kept in shady cool corners. Plants requiring moderate amounts of light can be kept near sunny bay windows or French doors.

In short, if you want your indoor plant/plants to grow properly and healthily, you must provide it with adequate and sufficient amount of lighting depending on what kind of lighting requirement it has - whether very high or high or medium or low or very low.

Material of Pot

When you plant your indoor plants in pots made of clay (a porous substance), the water can evaporate fast and so you shall have to water the plant more frequently. If you don't have so much time on your hands, then nonporous plastic containers can reduce your load.

However, since water can't evaporate from nonporous containers, the water often remains stuck inside the pot. And this results in slow decomposition and rotting of the roots of plants that ultimately leads to the death of the plant. So you have to choose a pot wisely.

Size of Pot

Even the pot size is of vital importance as it can affect the rate of growth of any indoor plant. The size of the pot or container should be directly proportional to the size of the plant, as otherwise it won't look balanced.

When you plant a large indoor plant in too small a container, there is a lack of adequate space for the soil as well as lack of room for the roots to grow. Such a mistake will make your plant droop soon. Besides, a small plant in too big a container looks rather jarring and idiotic.

It is to bring that added dimension of beauty in the living room or office space that people have taken to indoor plant gardening by hordes. If you follow these simple steps, it will ensure the health and vibrancy of your much loved indoor plants.
