Plants need sunlight, water, air, nutrients, and suitable temperature. Healthy soil and proper drainage are also very important.
It depends on the plant type and weather. Most indoor plants prefer watering 2–3 times a week, while outdoor plants may need more frequent watering during summer.
Overwatering: yellow, droopy leaves, soggy soil.
Underwatering: dry, crispy, or brown leaves.
Always check soil moisture before watering.
Try Money Plant, Snake Plant, Aloe Vera, Spider Plant, or Peace Lily — they’re low-maintenance and grow well indoors.
Ensure they get enough sunlight, proper watering, good-quality soil, and occasional fertilizer. Pruning dead leaves also helps growth.
Use neem oil spray, garlic spray, or soap water. Regularly clean leaves and keep the area around the plant dry.
Most indoor plants need indirect sunlight for 4–6 hours a day. Avoid direct harsh light on delicate leaves.
Indoor plants grow well in low light or partial shade.
Outdoor plants need direct sunlight and open air.
Snake Plant, Peace Lily, Areca Palm, and Aloe Vera are great air-purifying options.
It depends on the season and plant type. Generally, spring and early monsoon are ideal for most plants.
Use organic compost, vermicompost, or cow dung manure for safe and natural nourishment.
Mix kitchen waste (fruit/vegetable peels) with dry leaves and soil. Keep moist and stir occasionally for 4–6 weeks.
