The indoor light is generally not too strong, so you can choose the brightest place to place the plants. Watering needs to be determined according to the dryness and humidity of the soil, and the water temperature should be about the same as room temperature. Generally speaking, newly purchased plants do not need to be fertilized within a year, and then an appropriate amount of top-dressing can be used. The temperature is generally more suitable, as long as the temperatures in summer and winter are not too high or too low. In addition, proper ventilation is very important, especially in summer.

1. Appropriate light

For plants grown indoors, you must first pay attention to providing appropriate light. Many plants cannot grow without light. Because the indoor light is not too strong, you don’t have to worry about direct light burning the plant, so just choose the brightest place to place it. For plants with particularly high light requirements, if the light is insufficient, artificial light can be added.

2. Appropriate amount of water

For plants grown indoors, whether to water them can be determined based on the dry and wet state of the pot soil. You can use a moisture meter to measure the soil, which is more scientific. Watering should be even and the water temperature should be appropriate. It should be about the same as the indoor temperature. Considering hygiene issues, you can place a plate or mat at the bottom of the flower pot to prevent moisture from staining the floor.

3. Appropriate amount of fertilizer

Generally speaking, newly purchased plants do not need to be fertilized within a year because the substrate contains more nutrients. You can add an appropriate amount later. Slow-release fertilizers are more effective, but don’t use too much. No fertilization is allowed when any plant is in a dormant state.

4. Suitable temperature

Under normal circumstances, the indoor temperature is more suitable for plant growth. Unless there are varieties with special requirements for temperature, attention needs to be paid to regulation. It should be noted that the room temperature in summer and winter should be adjusted appropriately to avoid affecting plant growth.

5. Proper ventilation

Ventilation is very important when growing plants indoors. Especially when it is very hot in summer, ventilation also has a cooling effect. Even in winter, some ventilation is needed, but try to do it at noon when the weather is warm.
