Plant Tips
with Jeremy

  • Choose the Right Spot: Make sure your indoor plants get plenty of light. Most houseplants prefer bright, indirect sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can stunt growth.

  • Watering: Overwatering is a common mistake. Check the soil moisture before watering by sticking your finger an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, it's time to water. Remember, different plants have different water needs.

  • Humidity: Many indoor plants thrive in humid environments. Place a humidifier nearby, or group plants together to create a mini climate. Alternatively, mist the leaves regularly.

  • Fertilizing: Feed your indoor plants with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every month during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

    Clean the Leaves: Dust can accumulate on leaves, preventing them from absorbing light efficiently. Wipe the leaves gently with a damp cloth to keep them clean and healthy.
