Indoor Potted Plants

Indoor potted plants can be fun and easy to grow. The fun comes to an end if the plant dies too soon in its young life though. These are the best tips for ensuring that your potted plants survive.

1. You need to remember that for potted plants, you need to supply all their soil, including the nutrients naturally found in good soil, and all their water.

2. If the soil is thick and heavy it can retain more moisture for a longer period of time, but it can also choke roots. The soil should be light enough, but have some mass in order to hold water for at least a few days.

3. Wind can help and hurt a plant. Be sure that your plants don't get so much wind that they know over, or even break.

4. Fertilizer is extra food you give a plant because the soil is deficient in the all the nutrients the plant needs to be healthy and beautiful. Fertilizer makes the difference between a potted plant that is just barely hanging in there, and a plant that is vivacious.

5. Find the right amount of sunlight for your plant. Some plants like as much light as they can get, and other plants don't want any direct sunlight at all. Experiment by placing your potted plant in different areas of the house or yard. Make sure to check on the plant daily during this experiment because too much light will kill a plant quick. Slowly increase the sunlight until the plant looks the healthiest. Back way down on the sunlight if you start to see any wilting and verify that you are watering the plant sufficiently.

6. Re-pot the plant as it outgrows its old pot. Some plants you can trim down and keep in the same pot. Usually this applies to the self-reseeding type of plants (like sword fern for instance). Other plants will need to be placed in bigger pots as they grow and mature.
