A Guide To Taking Care Of Indoor Plants NYC

By Katrina Wheeler


Growing and taking care of indoor plants NYC has become a very worthy and healthy past time that a lot of people do take up. Since an indoor plant would need quite a bit of attention, then there are quite a bit of things that one has to take note of when taking care of one. So if one is not very familiar with taking care of plants, then here are some of the things to bear in mind.

Of course the primary thing that any plant would be needing is sunlight because it is through sunlight that they would be able to grow properly. One that stays inside the house will not get as much sunlight as the one that stays outside which means that one has to put his plant in a place where sunlight can shine. Good places would be near a window or probably on a balcony.

Aside from sunlight, a plant would also need a lot of water. However, it is very important to take note that one should not put too much water or too little water or else the plant will die. Also, be sure to buy a pot with a small hole at the bottom so that if there is extra water, it may flow out.

Now one of the things that would prevent a plant from growing healthily would be some insects or pests. The thing about insects and plants is that they tend to chomp on the stem or leaves of the plant until it will become bare. Because of this reason, it is actually essential that one would have to use some bug spray on some of his plants.

Of course there are those who would not want to mess with chemicals like these. In order for one not to use chemicals but still be able to kill insects, another option would be to make a natural insecticide. One of the best alternative and natural remedies would be a mix that is made of blended garlic and a little bit of oil.

One must also watch out for fungi that may grow on plants like mildew and other types. The thing about fungi is that when they grow in the soil, they may spread around and may even harm the air that the people breathe in. So in order to get rid of things like this, one can try to use a mix of warm water and baking soda along with dish washing soap in order to get rid of them.

Now believe it or not, the so called myth that talking to plants to help them grow is actually quite true. Science would tell people that when a human talks, he will let out carbon dioxide. Since carbon dioxide is a compound that is needed for the health and well being of a plant, then it will benefit from having a conversation with a human.

So basically, those are some tips on how to take care of indoor plants NYC. If one is fond of these things, then he will enjoy taking care of them and watching them grow and become more beautiful. One can have different types that he can play around with.
