1. Light:
Most indoor plants prefer bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid placing them in direct sun unless they are succulents or cacti, which love full sun.
2. Watering:
Peace Lilies: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Leaves may droop slightly when thirsty—just don’t let it stay dry too long.
Succulents: Water sparingly—only when the soil is completely dry. Avoid standing water.
Orchids: Water about once a week and let excess water drain. Mist the leaves occasionally.
Peace Lily Low–medium light 1x/week Wilts when thirsty—easy to read
Succulents Bright direct light Every 2–3 weeks Let soil fully dry before watering
Orchids Indirect light 1x/week Avoid overwatering; mist occasionally
Dish Gardens Indirect to bright Varies (every 7–10 days) Don’t water all plants equally
Dish Gardens: Check each plant type and water accordingly, typically once every 7–10 days.
Tip: Always check the soil moisture before watering. Overwatering is a common mistake.
3. Humidity & Airflow:
Many houseplants enjoy moderate humidity. If your home is dry, especially in winter, mist your plant or use a humidity tray.
4. Fertilizing:
Use a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring/summer). Succulents and orchids may require specialty fertilizer.
5. Cleaning:
Dust plant leaves with a soft cloth to help them breathe and absorb light more efficiently.
6. Re-potting:
If roots are growing out of the drainage holes or your plant dries out quickly, it may be time to move to a slightly larger pot.
