Do see that beautiful house acquired sad within weeks of that put it in the home or Office? Remember that tropical plants cultivated in a pot in the interior are in an extremely artificial environment. Here are five simple ways to help your plants to survive in the interior:
1. Put the right plant on the site, the level of light is the most important factor to place a plant, but many plants are tolerant to a wide range of lighting conditions; below are some extreme examples of plants for the light and shadow normally found in the interior:
"Bright Sparks": Sansevieria (mother in law tongue), Areca Palm, Ficus benjamina (weeping fig), Aloe vera, Zamiculcus zamifolia (plant ZZ).
"Dark characters: Spathiphyllum (Peace Lily), Kentia Palm, Calathea, Philodendron (plant of the bride), arrowroot (plant of thorns)."
2. Irrigation. Different plants have different water requirements but irrigation is usually the top of the list of ways to kill your house plants, you can literally "kill them with kindness". Never leave permanent plants in a sauce of water. Number 2 on the list is under irrigation. It is not possible to give specific instructions for irrigation; It depends on the environmental conditions and requirements of the plants. As a general rule the compound almost dry to remove the plant for its decorative container or dish and give it a good stop then let drain completely before bring it back. Water plants less in winter (when light levels are low and the plants are dormant semi).
This may sound daunting but do not despair, there is a very easy way for their plants get only the water they need - use planters of self-watering. The best auto irrigation containers are also very elegant, making the role of perfect design for your plants and the integral water tank need not increase up to 12 weeks - so no concerns when you are.
3. Buy plants of quality As with many things in life, if the Pact seems too good to be true, it is probably. Often inexpensive plants not correctly its roots or home aclimatan conditions "not greenhouse". It is better to buy specialized suppliers who know your plants and can give advice before and after making your purchase.
4. Things to avoid. Do not place your plant near sources of heat such as radiators or fire. Keep plants in air conditioning ducts and cold air currents.
5. Things to do the majority of the plants benefit from one with occasional to compensate for the environment of low humidity in the interior of the majority. Occasionally feed on payment of specialist plant - do not use general purpose garden plant food - this is particularly important for las Palmas (recommending a payment of Palma specialist). They only feed during the season of growth (from April to September), never in the winter months.
In short, only three things virtually guarantee the health of their house plants:
or buy quality plants
or put the plants in the right place
or use containers self-watering
Interior plants do not need to be hard work, follow these simple guidelines and you will enjoy a fabulous display of tropical plants in the coming years.
