1. Light Conditions: Even low-maintenance plants have their light preferences. Ensure you place your plants in the appropriate light conditions as per their needs. Most low-maintenance plants can tolerate low to moderate light but will thrive with a bit more indirect sunlight.
2. Watering: One of the biggest mistakes plant owners make is overwatering. Low-maintenance plants typically prefer their soil to dry out between waterings. Check the soil moisture before watering and adjust your schedule according to the plant’s needs.
3. Humidity: While many low-maintenance plants can tolerate a range of humidity levels, they generally appreciate a bit of moisture in the air. Consider placing a tray of water near your plants or using a humidifier, especially during dry winter months.
4. Fertilizing: Low-maintenance plants don’t require frequent feeding. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every few months during the growing season to keep your plants healthy.
5. Dusting: Indoor plants can accumulate dust on their leaves, which can hinder photosynthesis. Gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks to keep them clean and healthy.
