Care tips for indoor plants that adapt to low-light environments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u2022<\/strong> Cleaning:<\/strong> Carefully wipe your plants\u2019 leaves with a damp cloth. Dust can block the plant\u2019s pores, making photosynthesis harder.<\/p>\n\n

\u2022<\/strong> Watering:<\/strong> These plants tend to need less water because they\u2019re in environments where evaporation is slower. Water moderately, avoiding waterlogging. Always check the potting mix before watering (if you\u2019re unsure, put a finger into the soil and water only if it feels dry deeper down). For most of these plants, the key is to avoid overwatering, as they\u2019re more prone to root rot in waterlogged soil.<\/p>\n\n

For indoor plants that like high humidity levels, such as Calatheas and Ferns (Nephrolepis exaltata), use a mister to dampen their leaves.<\/p>\n\n

\u2022<\/strong> Fertilising:<\/strong> Use diluted liquid fertilisers every 4\u20136 weeks during spring and summer. In autumn and winter, reduce the frequency.<\/p>\n\n

\u2022<\/strong> Light:<\/strong> Although they can grow in low-light environments, it\u2019s best to rotate them to keep growth balanced and even, and to prevent them from growing crooked as they lean in search of light.<\/p>\n\n
