Keeping greenery in the house not only adds to your home’s aesthetics but also brings about a sense of wealth and happiness. This article shares some forever rich plant care tips to help you keep your plants happy and healthy. Enjoy!
Sedum plants are tolerant of poor soil conditions. Make sure that your sedums are in good, well-draining soil and get enough sunlight.
Feeding
Whether your plants are indoors or out, they require regular feeding to thrive. Just as humans need five meals a day to stay healthy, plants are no different. Plants need nutrients to convert sunlight into energy. And just as humans rely on fresh fruit and vegetables to get those vitamins, plants need fresh potting soil or compost to ensure they have the right nutrients to grow strong and healthy.
Choosing the right type of fertilizer is one thing, but ensuring your plant gets the proper ratios to the correct amount of each nutrient in the most cost effective manner is another. Using the right ratios can help avoid problems like overfeeding, burnt roots or stunted growth. Other things to keep in mind include the timing of your feeds and the number of waterings. The trick is to find a balance between keeping your sanity and keeping your plants happy and healthy. The best way to do this is to start by reading up on the plants you have and creating a routine that works for them.
Watering
Whether they’re growing indoors or in the garden, all plants need water to thrive. But how, when and where you water can significantly affect your greenery’s health and blooms.
Plant experts Monai Nailah McCullough and Paul Thompson recommend letting your plants’ needs guide your watering decisions rather than sticking to a rigid schedule. Instead, McCullough suggests feeling the soil with your finger or chopstick to determine when your plant is thirsty and watering accordingly.
Summer is a time of year when houseplants need regular watering for best results. During summer days are often longer, so photosynthesis, the process by which plants turn light into food, is much more active.
For this reason, it’s best to water your plant in the early morning before it gets too hot. This gives the leaves a chance to dry off, which can discourage fungal spores from growing on them.
Light
Light is a fundamental force in our world, as it powers the sun and drives global weather patterns. It also plays a critical role in life, as it warms our Earth and initiates the process of photosynthesis. As such, it’s no wonder that scientists are constantly working to understand more about the nature of light and how it interacts with matter. Modern physics has come to realize that light is both a particle and a wave (or in some sense, neither). But the question of what light is remains one that cannot be fully answered.
To keep your forever rich plants happy, make sure they have plenty of light. Use this rule of thumb: Replace your bulbs and lamps every 2,000 hours or so, as recommended by the manufacturer. This will ensure that you don’t have bare areas in your lights, and that they stay functioning for as long as possible.
Temperature
Temperature is the measurement of thermal energy in an object or material. It is a very important subject in science, and has a significant role in everyday life. For example, we all know that our bodies feel hot or cold when we touch or drink water at varying temperatures. The actual temperature of water changes from ice (solid) to liquid to gas as it warms. This is called temperature and can be measured by a thermometer. The same principle applies to plants. If you want your plant to thrive, it needs regular monitoring of its temperature so that you can give it the right amount of moisture at the right time. Forever rich plants can be tricky to keep alive, but with a little care and attention they will thrive.
