Sometimes you many not realize it, but your plants may not always need watering. Most of the time, over-watering the plants can kill them. There is a very simple way to check if your plants need watering. Just put your finger into the soil; if it comes out wet, don’t water the plant!

Feeding plants during their most active growth period is important for healthy growth. Certain plants require different things, so it is important to get to know all of the different kinds of plants that you have in your garden to know, for example, that foliage plants require more nitrogen than flowering plants.

Plants like Sanseveria and Aspidistra require no sun, and can be placed away from a window while Spider plants need semi-shade. You can put plants like these near a window that does or does not get sunlight. Check the label to see what your plant needs.

Some plants only survive in certain temperatures. Some houseplants will survive in both cool and warm environments. If it is cold, don’t consider putting your plants near a gas heater, as this could be very harmful. The same goes for putting a plant near air-conditioning during the summer.

Some houseplants require a humid environment. One way to maximize humidity is to put the pot inside a larger pot and fill in the gaps with stones or compost to keep in the moisture. Grouping plants together often creates a microclimate that they will benefit from. Depending on the temperature, you can spray plants with water once or twice a day.

While a house plant can grow in a pot, some plants will eventually need to be re-potted or moved. Sometimes a re-potting is helpful, while sometimes it will disturb the plants and it will not take well. A great way to check it to upturn your plant. If all you see are roots,its time to re-pot!
