Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I water my plants?
The watering frequency depends on various factors including the plant type, pot size, humidity, and season. As a general rule, check the soil moisture - if the top 1-2 inches feel dry, it's time to water. Most indoor plants prefer to dry slightly between waterings.
Why are my plant's leaves turning yellow?
Yellowing leaves can be caused by several factors: overwatering, underwatering, lack of nutrients, or insufficient light. Check the soil moisture first, then consider the plant's light exposure and when it was last fertilized.
Should I mist my plants?
Some tropical plants benefit from misting as it increases humidity. However, not all plants need misting, and some may even develop problems from wet leaves. A humidity tray or humidifier is often more effective for increasing humidity.
When should I repot my plants?
Most plants need repotting every 12-18 months. Signs that it's time to repot include: roots growing through drainage holes, slowed growth, or the plant becoming too large for its container. Spring is typically the best time for repotting.
