Indoor Plants - Day 16: 21 Days of Garden Fatigue

Bringing your garden indoors has so many benefits from softening the space inside your house to purifying the air naturally. The variety of indoor plants is also growing as many people enjoy their benefits and as houses become more confined.

If you've ever wanted to grow plants indoors or you already are read on for tips to deal with some of the problems you may face...

  • Leaf Problems nearly all of the problems you will face with indoor plants will show up in their leaves. They express themselves when they're struggling through their leaf presentation. If you have a specific problem with your indoor plant visit The Gardener's Network for a simple list to diagnose the cause.
  • Fertilising indoor plants is the same as fertilising plants that grow out in your garden except that they do better when applied with a liquid fertiliser. Most plants will require an application of this every 2-3 weeks.
  • Light the idea of keeping plants indoors is to keep them away from the harmful effects of too much light. However, it is possible to limit their light needs too much which will cause them to struggle. Most plants need some light but some will need to be next to a window while others will do better enjoying filtered light. If you're plant is suffering it could be because it is getting too much or too little light. Try adjusting the position of your plant and note any changes in its growth.
