Take care of your "green friends" withoutthe corresponding recommendations that are usually given in specialized stores when buying plants are like making a layer cake without a recipe. Today, the editors of etk-fashion.com will tell you about the most common mistakes in caring for your houseplants. Almost everyone has houseplants at home. And if they are not ersatz geraniums or violets in the form of mold on your day before yesterday's tea or moss on the north side of your dressing table, then this article is for you. To each his own As you know, each plant has its own place in the sun: aglaonema, for example, cannot stand direct sunlight; aspidistra is a "cast iron" plant that is not afraid of either dirty air or rare watering; but potus, or "devil's ivy" cannot stand drafts and prefers to grow in hanging pots near the wall. Each plant has its own special list of conditions for comfortable living. So, take a close look at the needs of each plant in your home.
The battery is the enemy of plants Among indoor plantsThere are no plants that like to be above the radiator or in close proximity to it. Perhaps only cacti and ficus (but broad-leaved ficus, for example, also cannot stand the heat). And no matter how actively you water them, without thinking about water meters, the heat of the radiator will dry them out, and sooner or later the flowers will wither.
Water is life Don't forget not onlywater your indoor plants, but also moisten their leaves and stems, using a spray bottle, for example. After all, it is unlikely to rain in your apartment, and moisture is needed both by the root system and the outer part of the plants. It is recommended to do such water procedures once a week.
Too much does not mean to water flowers well,Of course, it's good and right. But every plant has a period in its life (usually winter) when it "hibernates" and does not grow. It is precisely at such moments that abundant and frequent watering can ruin your hydrangea.
Don't go against nature / don't play druidSome plants, such as azaleas, cyclamens, chrysanthemums and gerberas, for example, are destined by Mother Nature to bloom approximately once a year. You can, of course, play the druid and spray your "pets" with all sorts of chemicals - there are plenty of them on the shelves of flower shops, but we at the editorial office of etk-fashion.com are against "steroid" experiments with living nature.
Choose water correctly You bought yourThe ficus has a new ceramic pot, but after the first watering there is a white coating left on it? It's all about the excess of minerals, which make the water hard. Water your flowers with "glucose" or boiled (but not hot) water. You can also use aquarium water for watering (just be careful with the fish).
Now any amateur gardener (who doesn't read etk-fashion.com, of course) can envy your knowledge. Love your houseplants and don't deprive them of attention.
