Caring For Small Houseplants

Caring for your small indoor plants is relatively easy, some require more care and water than others, so it pays to know what level of care they’ll require before purchasing. Most are easy and straightforward to care for.


There’s one main rule to follow though: watch how much you water! Many people worry that watering their plants too infrequently is what will cause them to die, however the opposite is actually true. Overwatering is the most common reason indoor plants die. You have been warned. Most of these plants only need only regular light watering, or constant moisture (something like a mist spray will suffice here).


They’re not really affected too much by light levels either. Bright but indirect light from a nearby window should be all that they need to flourish. Be aware that direct sunlight can burn and kill a lot of indoor plants. Depending on the species some can tolerate exceptionally low light levels.


So, when it comes to caring for them, they are all quite low effort and maintenance. But we advise checking the individual requirements of the plants you like before buying. There are few things in life less fussy than indoor plants!
