You'll see here that there are simple things to do that can change everything, and we'll even show you the ideal plants for those who live in an apartment to rejoice. So come check it out!

No restricted diet and much less free disposition

One of the best ways to take care of plants is knowing how to measure the amount of water. An overdose can be just as harmful as a lack.

In particular, species with arid climates, such as cacti and succulents, prefer dry land to wet land. It is important to know the specific needs of the species to be restored and adjust care accordingly.

Also, you should not water in all seasons, as the climate and relative humidity are different in each season, which should be taken into account when considering how much water your plants need.

A very cool and interesting tip is touch the earth with the tip of your finger before wetting. When you do this, you should notice if the soil is damp on the surface, don't wet it at all!

If it's wet on the surface, it means the bottom of the pot is soaked. This happens with taller pots because they hold water longer than shallower pots. Therefore, water if the surface of the pot is slightly dry.

Your plant needs a bigger pot

This is something very simple and that many people don't even imagine could be one of the reasons why the plants are not developing.

Placing it in a vase about 3 cm larger than the previous one can already make a big difference and adhere to the healthy growth of the plant's roots. If she is in a planter or in a garden, always check to see if there are too many plants in a small space.

An important thing to remember is that excess leaves and roots can impede the respiration and development of the plants that are there. Remove twigs and dry leaves to allow better air circulation and even try to transfer some to other spaces.

Too exposed to the sun

if your plant is going through the recovery process, try to leave it more time outdoors, in an airy place but remember that the place has to be covered and protected from direct sunlight.

In the morning, when the sun is still “weak”, it is a great time for you to put your plants to “take some sun”.

Also remember about strong winds. Protect it, especially if it is a species with wide and long leaves, which can tear more easily.

the plagues

From snails and slugs to general fungus and ants, these unwanted visitors can cause a lot of damage or even wipe out your plant entirely.

To combat them, use fungicides and pesticides, but with professional guidance and NEVER use products not regulated by the responsible bodies.
