Choosing the right plants for your interior
The first step towards a green interior is to select the plants that are best suited to your space. Different species have specific needs in terms of light, humidity and temperature. By taking these criteria into account, you will be able to find the perfect plants for each room of your home.
Shade plants
For dark or dimly lit areas, opt for shade-tolerant species such as Philodendron, Pothos or Sansevieria. These hardy plants will thrive even in low light conditions.
Exhibition plants
Rooms bathed in natural light will be perfect for display plants such as Geraniums, Begonias or Orchids. They will thus be able to take full advantage of the sun's rays.
Indoor plants
Some plants, such as Ficus, Palm trees or Dracénas, will bring a tropical touch and an impression of volume to your interior. They will create a warm and soothing atmosphere.
Maintenance and care of indoor plants
Once you have selected your plants, it is essential to provide them with the appropriate care to ensure their long-term growth. Here are our tips for an effective maintenance routine:
Watering
Watering is probably the most important thing you can do to keep your plants healthy. Learn to spot the signs of under- or over-watering so you can find the right balance. Typically, checking your soil moisture 1-2 times a week is enough.
Fertilization
To maintain healthy and vigorous growth, do not hesitate to fertilize your plants regularly with a suitable fertilizer. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the correct dosage.
Cleaning the leaves
Gently wipe the leaves of your plants with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and promote better photosynthesis.
Repotting
When your plants become too cramped in their pot, it is time to repot them in a larger container. Choose a quality substrate and do this in the spring for best results.
Size and pruning
Remember to prune your plants regularly to stimulate their growth and maintain a beautiful shape. Also prune dead or damaged leaves or stems.
Solving Common Problems
Despite your best efforts, sometimes your plants will encounter some difficulties. Here's how to identify and solve the main problems:
Yellowing leaves
This symptom can be caused by too much or too little water, lack of light or nutrients. Adjust your watering and fertilizing practices accordingly.
Burnt leaves
Too much exposure to direct sunlight can cause foliage burns. Move the plant to a shadier location.
Parasites
Watch for the appearance of pests such as aphids, scale insects or red spiders and treat quickly with a suitable product.
Diseases
Some diseases such as mildew or root rot can affect your plants. Identify the cause and apply the appropriate treatment.
