A Guide To Taking Care Of Indoor Plants NYC

By Katrina Wheeler


Taking care of indoor plants NYC is a very healthy and very entertaining hobby for those who have a lot of space at home and love plants. Now as compared to a plant that stay outdoors, an indoor one would be needing quite a bit of tender loving care. For first time plant owners, try checking out some of these tips that will be able to help when owning one of these things.

Sunlight is among one of the most important things that every plant must have otherwise it will definitely die. In order for a plant to get enough sunlight if it is just inside of a house, the owner must make sure to put it in a place where the light can hit it. The best place to put it would be on a balcony or maybe a window if one does not have a balcony.

Aside from sunlight, a plant would also need a lot of water. However, it is very important to take note that one should not put too much water or too little water or else the plant will die. Also, be sure to buy a pot with a small hole at the bottom so that if there is extra water, it may flow out.

One very crucial thing that one must look out for would be some pests or insects that would infiltrate the indoor plants. Now these insects can actually harm a plant because these things may eat the leaves or the stems away until the plant has nothing left. That is why one must always spray some insecticide on his mini garden regularly.

Of course there are those who would not want to mess with chemicals like these. In order for one not to use chemicals but still be able to kill insects, another option would be to make a natural insecticide. One of the best alternative and natural remedies would be a mix that is made of blended garlic and a little bit of oil.

Now fungi can also be really big problems when handling a plant. Mildew is an example of a really bad fungus and may even spread to the air and harm the humans who are in the area. In order to be able to annihilate this thing, one should spray the plant with a mix composed of water, baking soda, and dish washing liquid.

Though this sounds silly, talking to plants is actually very beneficial. Yes this may seem like a silly thing to do but science would say that this is just a way for humans to give carbon dioxide. Since carbon dioxide is needed by the plant in order to survive, then talking to it may just be the right thing to do to ensure its survival.

So if one owns some indoor plants NYC, then here are some ways to actually take care of them. If he has the green thumb, then he will have absolutely no problem. If he does not, then he has to do some research and take note of these tips.
