You've picked the perfect pot and potting soil, now it's time to help your houseplant thrive! Here's what your plant needs to stay healthy and vibrant.

Light It Up!

Houseplants come from all sorts of environments, so their light needs vary. Here's a quick guide:

• High Light: These sun-lovers (cacti, succulents, citrus trees) need bright, indirect sunlight for most of the day. Aim for a south-facing window.
• Medium Light: These guys (many flowering plants, philodendrons, pothos) prefer bright but indirect sunlight for several hours a day. East or west-facing windows are ideal.
• Low Light: Shade dwellers (ZZ plant, snake plant, aglaonema) can thrive in lower light conditions. North-facing windows or rooms with artificial light work well.

Watering Wisdom

Overwatering is a common houseplant woe. Here are some tips to keep your plant happy:

• Stick your finger in the soil: It should feel dry to the touch before watering again.
• Less is More: Water deeply until water runs out the drainage holes, then discard any excess in the saucer.
• Consider the Season: Plants need less water in winter when they're not actively growing.

Feeding Frenzy

Houseplants don't need constant feeding, but a little boost during their growing season (spring and summer) can do wonders.

• Give Them a Boost: During spring and summer, consider a light feeding every few weeks with a balanced fertilizer specifically formulated for houseplants. For a natural and organic option, try our Organic Chicken Manure Pellets! These slow-release pellets provide essential nutrients and promote healthy soil, all without harsh chemicals.
• Follow the Label: No matter what fertilizer you choose, be sure to follow the dilution and application instructions carefully.
• Less is More: A diluted solution applied every few weeks is better than a strong dose too often.
• Winter Rest: Hold off on feeding during the winter months when most houseplants are dormant.

Happy Potting!
