House Plants
There are many reasons to have indoors plants. For example, are a decorative element that gives so much life to the rooms. They also help clean the air that can vitiate the cleaning products, carpets, pets … Some people even seeding culinary herbs from home and the same time fulfilling the two functions I mentioned earlier.
It is important to know that there are plants whose optimal medium is inside a house. But there are a large number of them which are suitable for indoor cultivation. Some support the conditions for a long time, and others just a couple of weeks. But all, without doubt, have their natural needs of light, temperature, water and nutrients.
Eight tips to care for house plants
1. Water them with water at the time, tap or bottled, when you feel the dry land to two centimeters of the surface. Those that are in large pots you review once a week, the girls two or three times a week.
2. Enter two inches of a finger or a pencil in the land of the plant if the soil dries out it is time to pour water on it, if you do not put more wet because you can drown and rot their roots.
3. Take the water to the plant by soaking the ground and trickles splashing only a little to the plant itself. It is important that the pot has holes to flow down and drain the water naturally.
4. Once a month, put a teaspoon of vinegar to one gallon of water for watering and eliminate the accumulation of salts and lowering the pH of the water and occasionally spray the leaves with water spray.
5. It goes into fertilizer, always to maintain healthy plants. The best time for you to apply fertilizer is in spring or summer, because they are the stations at which the plants grow vigorously.
6. Although they are houseplants is essential that at times they light and well ventilated.
7. Insert a fork gently on his land, just half an inch, lest dañes roots. Remember to do starting from the edge to the center of the pot, this will leave breathing.
8. A plant needs comforting them cleaning their foliage. Doing so will also enable them to absorb more light and air. Never leave dry leaves hanging from weak green caps still attached, because this deprives them energy; hoof when necessary.
