8 Tips for Taking Care <br />of House Plants 1. Give them the right <br />amount of light. While some plants can handle dim settings, <br />most blooming plants need bright windows <br />or supplemental lights to grow properly. 2. Avoid overwatering your plants. Use a container with drainage holes to avoid drowning your plant and check the care tags <br />to determine how much water they need. 3. Keep them clean. Be sure to keep your plants <br />dirt and dust free by <br />lightly cleaning them. 4. Groom them as needed. Clip dead or yellow leaves and cut stems that <br />have lost their leaves to the soil line. 5. Beware of drafts. Make sure your plants aren’t <br />sitting too close to vents, <br />leaky doors or windows. 6. Add humidity if possible. Brown tips on the leaves could indicate that<br /> the air is too dry for your plants. You can group plants together, spray them with water or put them near a humidifier. 7. Watch out for pests. Check underneath leaves and near stems <br />for any indoor pests that could spread <br />disease to your plants. 8. Check the pot. If your plants are drying up suspiciously fast, <br />it may be time to repot, so consider <br />stepping up one pot size at at time.
