It’s safe for children and pets and is slow-growing. However, the individual feathery fronds or leaves can grow up to a foot long, so make sure the plant has plenty of space as it matures. Do you think this fear of killing plants deters people from actually taking to gardening in even a small way? What's the best way to get rid of these fears? Provide proper ventilation, Plants need fresh air to thrive. Make sure to provide proper ventilation in your home to keep the air flowing around your plants. This can be as simple as opening a window or using a fan to circulate the air. The bad news is they have a variety of different needs and we all have different growing environments. This means you can do any number of the "mistakes" listed in our article which can all end in disaster.
A good piece of advice I once heard is that your houseplant should be able to see the sky from where you've put it to grow. But perhaps you shouldn't feel too guilty. It tends to not be the low light that finishes the plant off. Usually, it's combined with one of the other mistakes talked about in this article.Air plants superglued to picture frames, for example. Cacti imprisoned inside humid terrariums. Or fleshy echeverias spray-painted in dayglo colours or glitter (why?) so that their fleshy leaves struggle to perform the two basic processes essential to all plants, which are photosynthesis and respiration. In this case, who could blame them for giving up the ghost . . .
They enjoy being pot-bound and this will encourage the production of tiny baby plants. But if the roots are spilling out of the pot, you can either repot the whole plant or divide it by cutting it down the middle with a sharp knife into halves, thirds or even quarters. Just pot up the smaller pieces and they will start to grow immediately. I believe the words " Cacti are impossible to kill" were even uttered as I happily took my new plant friend from him. But he was wrong. It died soon after. And I was mortified. All garden supplies are not made equal. Here’s what you’ll need to set your houseplants up for success. It's really hard to cause death by underfeeding. Even if you never use fertiliser as long as you repot once every couple of years your plant will survive, so the potential to cause damage by overfeeding is massively more probable. Houseplants make your home beautiful. But which plants make the best houseplants, and what is the best way to care for them? Here’s a how-to guide for creating your green oasis.If you’re not sure how to re-pot a houseplant, you’ll need a bigger houseplant pot to ensure that there’s space for more roots to grow. Place a handful of fresh houseplant compost into the base and place the root ball of your plant on top. Gently fill the edges with compost, and you’re good to go! You need to learn the art of patience and give time between watering. Not only that, but you might not need to give as much when you do come to water. As much as we dislike pests when you own houseplants, they often come hand in hand. Always inspect plants before purchasing -especially from big box stores, which are notorious for housing spider mites, fungus gnats, and thrips. If you do notice pests, you can use an insecticidal soap and there are products to also treat any larvae that may be living in the soil. Inspect and clean your plants regularly and quarantine new plants for at least two weeks to ensure any hitchhikers don’t spread to your other plants. 10. Keep trying
