Bringing nature indoors in the form of adding some live plants and
flowers to your home or office is a great way to add some calming,
natural-based ambiance. With careful attention paid to the placement of
plants, as well as regular watering and periodic maintenance, plants can
flourish indoors as well as they can outdoors. Generally the plants
chosen for indoor use come from tropical areas of the world, and thus
they will hold up better to room temperature areas and varied synthetic
lighting.
When it comes to the lighting for your indoor plants, know that all
plants need adequate light in order to survive as well as thrive. But
some plants need more light than others; and then there are plants that
can actually wither and die from being exposed to too much lighting.
Make sure you are well aware of the lighting needs of the plants you are
choosing, and keep in mind the layout of the room you're going to put
them in. High light plants should be placed as close as possible to a
window, while low light plants would be more suitable for placement in
waiting rooms, at work stations, and on low end tables. A professional
and knowledgeable company such as gaddysplanthire.com.au can assess the
indoor environment you wish to keep plants in, and advise you on the
ideal ones to use.
Your indoor plants should be watered regularly. Unless the care sheet
for a plant states otherwise, its soil should be watered until it is
consistently moist to the touch. Any water than drains out below should
be removed to prevent fungal growth. While it's okay to skip a few days
between watering -- such as on weekends, when an office is closed -- you
shouldn't let a plant become completely dried out, or else it may
become irreparably damaged.
Indoor plants can be susceptible to growth problems as well as insects.
Use an eco-friendly soil and fertilizer mix, and treat periodically for
the prevention of insects and fungal growth. Every few weeks you can
rotate your plants in order to give all branches, leaves, and buds equal
access to lighting.
