Anyway, fear not. -All is not lost. Although we'll probably kill a lot more plants before truly mastering the art of plant care, over the last three years we've managed to create a pretty green home and a small urban jungle in our studio. And... if we can do it, so can you! Here are 7 tips to help you along concerning How to Care Houseplants. 1. Start easyLuckily some plants are pretty resilient when it comes to bad plantcare. Killing those plants might even involve some skill (from personal experience: it can be done). A few of the easiest plants to maintain are Spider plant, Devils' ivy, Aloe Vera, Peace Lily and Snake Plant. 2. Keep the plant-tag
3. Water regularly
4. Pick the right spotUse your plant-tag or google to read up on the best situation for your plant: most plants like their sunlight to be indirect and might even develop burn-spots when put in a brightly lit window-sill. Although very few plants thrive in the dark, there are plants that can live happily in badly-lit places like bathrooms.
5. RepotThis might sound daunting, but most plants won't last long if you keep them in the plastic container they came in: they'll run out of space or nutrients and you'll need to repot them. Knowing when or how to re-pot your plants is one of those things that doesn't come naturally to us black-thumbed people, but i'll promiss you: it's worth the effort, most plants really thrive when their roots have enough space in a soil filled with fresh nutrients.
6. Use the right soil and keep it fertilized
Be nice, be patient
