:: Easy Care House Plants ::
The following is a guide to raising indoor, low maintenance plants:
Spider plants are popular indoor plants and ideal for the busy student because of their ability to tolerate all kinds of neglect. Known for its long, slender leaves, they are typically hung in baskets near windows or decks because they prefer indirect sunlight. Spider plants are also good for small, enclosed places because they filter the air and absorb toxins.
Cacti are very popular because of the minimal amount of care they need. They are best suited to areas exposed to sunlight, such as outside or on a windowsill. Overwatering a cactus is the biggest problem; thus, it should be done sparingly.
The most common mistake you can make is watering. You need to know the water requirements. A plant is a living thing and it doesn’t operate on a schedule. Try touching the soil with your fingertips. It will tell you if it’s very wet or dry.
Cherry tomatoes make ideal hanging plants. They require good lighting and lightweight soil that drains well. If the soil is packed too tightly, there will be problems with the root development. Similar to herbs, adding an inch of gravel to the bottom of the pot will ensure good drainage. They should be watered thoroughly, but not too frequently.
Plants are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also essential to life. They filter toxins from the air, heal through their medicinal properties, provide food and shelter and contribute to one’s well being.
If you put hard work and positive energy into your gardening efforts, the plants will respond well to that. I believe that they will grow better and in return, you benefit from their prosperous beauty. This will motivate you to continue working and improving the garden that is constantly surrounded by positive energy. The positivity will surely rub off on you. I have found it to be a very beneficial cycle.
