The 5 commandments to become a better parent… of plants !
Do you own plants but can't get them to survive ? Do you want to bring greenery into your home but doubt your green thumb level? Do you dream of expanding your collection of green plants ? Here are the 5 commandments to learn the basics of how to make your houseplants thrive.
1 - Learn how to water well
The number one cause of indoor plant survival failure is overwatering, so water sparingly and wait until the soil surface is dry before watering. To simplify your watering routine, use a moisture indicator that works simply. This elegant tool, tested and approved by our Plant Doctor, uses a simple color scale to help you perfect your watering routine.
2 - Give them the right light
Adapt the choice of your plants to the places you want to plant, a plant that doesn't have the right light won't grow as much as you dreamed ! Learn all about the light needs of plants because some plants like: Bamboo palm tree, Silver evergreen or Dracaena fragrans dorado do not like direct light. A strong exposure to the sun can be fatal for plants, because it can burn the leaves of your green plants. On the other hand, plants such as: Dracaena Marginata and Pachira Aquatica for example like sunlight.
3 - The beauty routine
In addition to watering and light, indoor plants need a minimum of care ! Cleaning the leaves is part of it, but don't worry, once every 1 to 2 months will be enough ! Read the recipe to clean the leaves. Moisten the foliage of your houseplants with a spray bottle. Lightly wipe off any excess water as plants do not like to have their leaves soaked.
4 - Multiply your plants

5 - Give plants as gifts
