A Guide To Taking Care Of Indoor Plants NYC

By Katrina Wheeler


As a hobby, many people buy indoor plants NYC and take care of them until they grow to be really big and healthy. Of course an indoor plant would need more attention than an outdoor plant because the latter can actually take care of itself better than the former. So if one would want to own a plant in his own home, then here are some ways to be able to take care of it.

Whenever one has a plant, he must always remember that sunlight is needed in order for it to be able to survive. Staying inside the house will not really allow the plant to be able to get the right amount of sunlight that it needs which means that one needs to find a place where a lot of sunlight can enter. He may opt to put it somewhere near a window or even on his balcony if he has one.

Of course everyone knows that water is also extremely important to the life of a little plant. Now when watering one, it is very important to remember to give it just the right amount. Also one should make sure that the pot that is holding it has a hole at the bottom so that any extra water may flow out.

Now pests and other insects may be a very big problem when owning some plants. The thing about insects and crawlies is that they can really chew up the plant and make it unhealthy. So in order to get rid of bugs and other things like these, one has to make sure to spray pesticide regularly in order to avoid this.

If one does not want to tamper with pesticides or insecticides because this may be harmful. One alternative to using the commercial insecticides would be to use natural mixes in order to kill those pesky insects. A good mix is the garlic and oil mix which makes use of some oil and a little bit of garlic juice which can actually kill a lot of insects.

Now fungi can also be really big problems when handling a plant. Mildew is an example of a really bad fungus and may even spread to the air and harm the humans who are in the area. In order to be able to annihilate this thing, one should spray the plant with a mix composed of water, baking soda, and dish washing liquid.

Although this may seem unbelievable, one way to keep the plant strong would be to talk to it regularly. According to science, this is true because when one talks, he exhales carbon dioxide. Naturally, plants breathe in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen which means that the carbon dioxide that the people exhale would be consumed by the plant.

So if one is a first time owner of indoor plants NYC, then he should take note of these things. As long as he follows these tips, he will be able to nurture them. Of course he will also have to be patient with them because they take time to grow.
