Indoor plants need constant care.
However, even applying the necessary fertilizers and regular watering may not result in the plants turning green.
Therefore, it is worth remembering a few watering tricks, thanks to which plants will quickly begin to turn green, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What time to choose for watering
One of the key secrets to successful watering is the right time. Morning is considered the best time to water indoor plants, as it allows moisture to soak into the soil before nightfall, when plants evaporate the least water. However, if the flowers are exposed to bright sun from early morning, it makes sense to skip watering.
Moderation in watering is important
Overwatering can cause more harm to plants than it does any real good. Always check the soil moisture before watering.
If the top layer of soil is dry, it means the plant needs watering. However, you should not allow situations where moisture begins to accumulate inside.
How much water should be used?
Some houseplants, especially tropical species, like high humidity.
To create an optimal microclimate, you can use various methods, such as spraying water around the plants or placing the plants in the bathroom, where the air humidity is higher. When choosing the amount of water, you should always start from the type of plant.
Water must be of high quality
Water quality also plays an important role. Most people use tap water, which is a serious mistake.
If you really want to maintain the good condition of the plants, it makes sense to use distilled water. You can also let it settle beforehand.
Adding fertilizers
Along with watering, you can fertilize indoor plants. It makes sense to apply it this way:
1. Phosphorus.
2. Potassium.
It is better not to apply nitrogen by irrigation, since its excess can have ambiguous consequences.
