I have recently gotten hooked on houseplants. I say "recently" because I have realized how to actually take care of plants...and not kill them. Houseplants are a great way to add life to a room. They are relatively inexpensive, and make a world of difference, kind of like a mirror. I will preface my next paragraph with, I AM NOT A GARDEN GURU, but here are some things that I have learned.
1. Water plants once a week. For small plants, put the entire plant in the kitchen sink. Water the plant until water seeps out of the drainage hole.
2. Fertilize your plants.
3. Re-pot plants that you buy from the store. (It took me a while to figure this one out)
4. You don't need to buy expensive pots. I buy terracotta pots, and age them. Here is a website that shows you different ways to age terracotta pots. I used the yogurt one, and it worked like a charm, add history to your pots here.
