Three Basic Tips for Denied

What is the best place for indoor plants?

Except for cacti and succulents, most indoor plants are jungle plants that, under natural conditions, live in humid and shady environments. So, as a general rule, keep them away from drafts and direct sun.

How often do I have to water the plants?

When in doubt, it is always better to water little than water a lot. Most plants endure the dryness for a few days because they pull on the environmental humidity. But, on the other hand, they can not stand waterlogging. They literally drown.
One trick to knowing when to water is to touch the ground. Except in the case of cacti, if the substrate is dry, you have to water. If it is wet, even if it has been a long time since the last watering, do not add more water.

Is it necessary to pay them?

Like all living things, plants live better if from time to time you give them an extra supply of food. From time to time add a few drops of liquid fertilizer to the irrigation water, but as a precaution always an amount lower than that recommended by the manufacturer of the product. As in the case of water, it is better to be austere than to go overboard. If you put too much compost, they burn.
