Be sure to choose pots that have a good draining system so your plant doesn’t rot.
Watering – Some indoor plants require more water than others. So a good rule of thumb is to keep the soil moist and provide them with pots that are well drained to prevent rotting. If you plant begins to look wilted, you may be over watering your plant.
Light – While there are plants that can thrive in an indoor environment, it is still important that the plant is still receiving enough sun. Consider plants that require low sunlight to survive. Be sure to place plants near a window that receives a lot of sunlight so that the plant can receive some indirect and direct sunlight.
Pruning = Pruning your plant is an important for your plant’s health. Pruning is removing parts of the plant that may cause harm to the plant. If you see dead or diseased leaves on your indoor plant, carefully remove those parts of the plant so the disease won’t spread and your plant can continue to thrive.
