Share
Intro
Houseplants bring life to your home, but it’s important to take good care of them. In this comprehensive guide, we discuss the care of popular plants like Monstera, Pilea, and Strelitzia. With our tips, you can keep your plants healthy and beautiful, whether you’re a novice plant lover or an experienced caretaker.
Monstera Deliciosa
The Monstera is a popular plant because of its large, perforated leaves. It thrives best in a spot with bright, indirect light. Water the Monstera once a week, but make sure the soil is completely dry before watering again. In spring and summer, you can fertilize the Monstera monthly for extra growth.
Strelitzia Nicolai
The Strelitzia, also known as the bird of paradise plant, is an impressive plant that needs a lot of light. Place it in a spot with direct sunlight, such as in front of a window. The Strelitzia needs regular watering, but be careful not to get wet feet. It likes moist soil, so water it as soon as the top layer feels dry.
Pilea Peperomioides (Pancake Plant)
The Pilea is not only trendy, but also easy to care for. Place it in a light spot, but not in direct sunlight. Water the plant once a week, depending on the temperature and humidity. A handy tip: turn the Pilea occasionally, so that it grows evenly.
Yucca
The Yucca is a robust plant that thrives in sunny, dry conditions. It needs little water and can take a beating. Ideal for people without green fingers! Water the Yucca every few weeks and make sure it is in a sunny spot.
General care tips
• Cleaning leaves : Dust on leaves can block sunlight. Clean them occasionally with a damp cloth.
• Repotting : Repot your plants every one or two years to ensure they have enough room to grow.
• Pest Control : Check your plants regularly for bugs such as spider mites or aphids and use environmentally friendly pesticides if necessary.
